At First Steps Learning & Child Care Centre, we believe that every child’s first steps into learning should be filled with joy, discovery, and a strong sense of belonging.
Located in the city of Burlington, Ontario, since 2005, we have been proudly serving families in Burlington and the surrounding areas of Oakville, Milton and Hamilton, offering a safe, nurturing, and educational environment where children can grow and thrive.
