At A Step Ahead, we strongly believe in the positive effect an early childhood education has on the blossoming lives of our children. To meet our commitment to quality education, we have built a caring and knowledgeable team consisting of certified and experienced teachers and teacher aides.
Equally important for our children is to spend their precious days in the classrooms, where they are loved and received more of the "one-on-one" attention by the virtue of smaller ratio in our classrooms.A Step Ahead's interactive curriculum not only educates our children with their fundamental elements of learning, such as reading and math, it also helps them with their social skills development and their ability to work independently.

Ms. Maysa moved to Arizona from Canada at the start of 2005. After the birth of her first daughter, Nikki, Maysa had found it to be difficult to be away from her immediate family. Nikki's relatively young grandparents wanted to be closer to her first grandchild, too. Maysa initially received her postsecondary education in business management and sales.
A Step Ahead believes in recruiting passionate and experienced teachers to care for its infant's room. The teachers, who demonstrate love for their profession and would earn the trust of our parents, are paramount to the success of our program. Teachers like Ms. Monika, who has spent her last thirteen years to care for infants at our center, is the real testimony to our commitment for quality care.

I am very grateful for this daycare, its caring teachers and the Head of the School/owners who are very accommodating and flexible. I visited other daycares in the area before enrolling my 3-month baby there last year, and definitely A Step Ahead stands out and was the best choice for my baby's second home at such a little age. This place is safe and clean, and the teachers are well trained, professional, and friendly. They provide a daily report of feedings and diaper changes. The infant room is spacious and well organized with different sections for diapering, feeding and playing time. Having

Our son started at a different daycare at first and we took him out because he didn’t adjust at all. So we were very nervous when we started at A step ahead. But the staff was so great and understanding, they did everything to make us feel comfortable and within a week our son had already adjusted well. Now, after a little over a month he gets so excited when we bring him and he is the happiest boy when we pick him up. They have a theme every month and do all the activities around that subject.

We have been bringing our babies here since my first son was born 3 years ago. Now I have two going there and another one on the way who will be there as well. It's middle of the row with affordability. My kids love it there. I just picked them up and my son told me he didn't want to go home. We love the teachers and Maysa and Aram (directors/owners). They love our kids as if they were their own. They have been amazing to us!

My husband and I could not express enough how thankful we are to all the wonderful staff that cared for our twins girls while attending A Step Ahead. (2.5 yrs) Mrs. Debbie, their teacher with 20 + experience was very instrumental in the academic development of our girls. They started Kindergarden this year and are exceeding beyond what is expected of them even reading at a 3rd grade level. We highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a quality education and caring environment for their children.

We have three kids that attend A Step Ahead Preschool. Our oldest has been there since she was an infant and is now graduating from the preschool program. They take special care to understand what is required of a toddler making the transition to Kindergarten. The preschool program is designed to prepare the children to enter kindergarten with a solid foundation. Her teachers work with the students tirelessly and are absolutely fabulous!
Our son has also attended since he was a baby and is in the advanced toddler program. His teachers have done an amazing job at harnessing his constant busyness

Since our daughter stated at A Step Ahead Preschool and Montessori when she was 20 months old our experience with this school has been nothing more than spectacular. Ms. Maysa is the school director and she along with the excellent teachers have always cared for our daughter like she was their own. In the four years that our daughter has been enrolled at this school, any and all suggestions and concerns have always been addressed timely and with our involvement. When needed, changes were made. The school treats the parents and children as if we are part of a small community; we work together and

We are computer teachers and teach computer classes at A Step Ahead Preschool & Montessori. The center director/owner Ms. Maysa is very kind, caring and professional toward her parents and students. Her school combines preschool curriculum and montessori style teaching students and we are very impressed. It is always a pleasure coming and teach students at the A Step Ahead Preschool. The teachers are very kind and caring too. I would recommend her school to families.
