First Step Learning Centre

Day Care

First Step Learning Centre is located in the Paul M. Bass Administration and Clinical Building on the campus of UTSW Medical Center. Our building is located near Mockingbird and Harry Hines. We have been in this location since March, 1998. First Step Learning Centre is Owned and Operated by Wendy Mireault.

And now, after much hard work and perseverance, we have expanded to the A Level! This center holds 40 Infants and 17 Toddlers. Same hours, same business, same owner, and same morals – just a floor up! Downstairs, we care for children six weeks to five years of age. Our care is offered Monday thru Friday from 6:30 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. Feel free to give us a call or stop by for a tour of our facility. Space is limited, so hurry in and get on the waiting list!

    This place is huge! I was surprised when I found out that they care for almost 300 little ones daily, the whole place is so clean and organized. Since the Centre is in the SW Medical complex, they cater to the babies of those employees but non-employees can bring their little ones here too. My two year old has only gone for a day but she absolutely loves it! I'll update later...

    Wendy, the owner and director of First Step Learning Centre, has been in business for more than 20 years. I have been taking all of my children to her, since I started having babies. I knew, from the first moment I met her that this place was going to be a perfect fit for my children. ... First Step Learning Centre is a perfect place to take your children. I have never felt more comfortable.

    As a former employee at First Step Learning Centre and as a mom of a child who is enrolled at this center I can tell you first hand that this is the BEST daycare! ... My daughter has attended FSLC since she was six weeks old and is attached to the caregivers and loves her friends here. She continues to thrive and learns something new everyday. I highly recommend First Step Learning Centre to any family looking for quality childcare!

    My son has been going here for about 2 years now. The staff is always so nice and knows all kids and parents by name. The place is located within UT Southwestern and is a hidden gem right in Dallas. It always smells clean first thing in the morning. They have a laundry facility on site and will wash your child's clothes if they have an accident and place them in their cubby. I've never had a problem with clothes missing either. They immediately call me if my son has a fever or any other problems. They also accept CCMS.

    I toured several day cares and this was my favorite. My child has been coming here for almost a year now. The ladies in my child's room are attentive and friendly. I am very satisfied with this daycare.
