Curriculum-based child care program for children ages 6 weeks - 5 years
ABOUT US
First Steps Early Childhood Learning Center believes
that the foundation for all intellectual and emotional development begins in the first few years of a child's life. Knowing the tremendous impact these early experiences have on a child, it is our goal to provide a nurturing
environment where we can work together with the
parents to make each child's first years a positive and beneficial experience.
Our individual classes are age-divided, with exceptionally small class groups. A warm and caring staff utilizes a professional curriculum and the very best in educational toys and equipment.
