Giant Step Learning Center

Giant Step Learning Center is a great place. My grandson has been attending since he was 2 and comes home everyday and tells us how much fun he has playing and learning. We can feel how much the teachers enjoy the kids and love them. I highly recommend this place — Ms. Chelo is the best director and makes each child feel at home.

The teachers here truly love their job. Ms. Chelo, the School Director, is loved by all the kids! She actually used to be my neighbor so I even see her out of school and she’s truly a hardworking mom. My daughter has been here for two years now and she completely adores Ms. Chelo and her homeroom teacher, Ms. Marylou. Ms. Maylou has fun with the kids but when they misbehave she handles it very well. So happy I found this place. Thank you Ms. Chelo and Ms. Marylou for being so good to Jade!!! She adores you both.

After bouncing around home day care and another pre-​school (which closed down), we found Giant Step. Miss Chelo and her staff are very friendly and caring. My daughter had a wonderful experience and we could tell that she gained a lot of confidence during the time that she spent at Giant Step. They have a great program that balances education and activities. My daughter Malia misses her teachers Miss Chelo and Miss Marylou, as well as Miss Martha, Miss Jessica, and Miss Rohanna. She knows them all by name. I would rate this school higher than five stars for their educational program and for my daughters positive experience.

My daughter (3) LOVES Mrs. Chelo and Miss Jessica!!! She was so nervous to start school and now she doesn’t want to miss a day. She has learned so much in just the last 6 months. I highly recommend this school! (lunch and snack included in tuition. Incredibly reasonable. Very clean! Fun playground.)

Great teachers and staff — this is a place where you can confidently take your children to be prepared for elementary school. They have daily programs for learning and for fun. They also have regular shows for the children to participate in and open house for them to show you their work. Your children will look forward to going to school! The school is very clean, the playground toys and classroom materials are all new/​current and there is ongoing maintenance on the premises. Also, conveniently located for anyone who lives or works in the South Coast Metro area.

Actual review: 4.5 stars
As a parent, there is nothing more important than the well being of your child. And especially as a working parent, the worry you have about where to leave your child can be immense.
That being said, the selection of Giant Step as a preschool/​child care center was one of the best things I ever did for my son and his development.
The staff at this school, led by Ms. Maria «Chelo», is fantastic. My son loves his teachers and they in turn really love all the kids they are entrusted with each day. It is not only a child care center, but truly a Learning center. The information and knowledge the children receive each day is great, as well as all the fun activities they have the opportunity to experience.
Added bonus, the school is very clean, well maintained, and upgraded.
If you decide Giant Step is a good fit for your child, you should feel confident that your child will benefit from the experience.
