First Step Daycare

First Step Family Daycare helps children learn and develop by providing both child-directed and teacher-facilitated development. We believe that a child does much of their learning through play and exploration of materials. We plan for experiences throughout the week which facilitate development of social skills, cognitive competencies (i.e. letters, numbers, colors, shapes, eye-hand coordination), physical skills, emotional security and creative expression. Our policies have been set for the purpose of creating a caring, nurturing, Christian environment, where children will feel at home and secure.We use the Creative Curriculum to plan for and support the early learning and development of children in our program.Our program is unique because children will be provided with a variety of learning experiences to help them develop physically, spiritually, intellectually and socially. We will encourage them to develop healthy personalities, form values, and develop conscience, feelings and attitudes, which form the foundation for a positive self-image. Our goal is to assist parents in developing happy, secure and self-disciplined children. First Step Family Daycare is a family daycare run like a daycare center.
