The people behind it
The people behind Little Steps Academy
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 they do as they remain committed to leading the future, one step at a time.
