Our Story
How Little Steps Academy came to be
Little Steps Academy was founded by friends — often mistaken for sisters — Juliet Khochaba and Nohara Dawood, who first met while working in early childhood education. Through their shared passion for supporting children and families, a friendship quickly grew, along with a dream of creating a childcare service of their own.
Together, they founded Little Steps Academy with the goal of providing a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, valued and inspired to learn.
Today, that same passion and dedication continue to shape everything we do as we remain committed to leading the future, one step at a time.
Learning, growing and discovering through every little step.
From first steps to school days, our play-based approach nurtures the whole child — mind, body and heart.

"A warm homely environment with supportive and professional staff. Little Steps Academy is an amazing centre that caters for all families, with care available from 7am till 6pm — from babies through to kinder. My kids are always raving about the outdoor area and the experiences they do throughout the day. The educators are friendly, well-trained and have a passion for what they do. With a brand new classroom and learning initiatives, don't go anywhere else without a tour of Little Steps Academy first — you won't be disappointed."

"I couldn't be happier with this daycare and the incredible care they provide for my son. From the very beginning, the educators made us feel welcomed, supported, and completely at ease. My son absolutely adores his teachers — it's so clear how much love, patience, and dedication they put into caring for the children. I highly recommend Little Steps Academy!"

"From the moment we walked into this centre we had a warm feeling that our little one would be taken care of. They are welcoming, detailed and professional. The premises is freshly renovated, spacious, modern and safe for the kids. My child cannot stop raving about her day there when we pick her up — we highly recommend you take a look here before you consider another!"
