Baby Steps Child care

We begin with age-appropriate environments that encourage children to learn, play and explore. We provide books and blocks, puppets and paper, toys and tambourines; you name it. There are seeds for planting and places for exploring. If you're a young child, you'll find an endless assortment of activities that engage your interest and stimulate your mind.

Most importantly, every project and activity is age-appropriate because children learn differently . Our program allows the children to use many of their senses while learning and exploring . They need warmth, attention, enthusiasm, and encouragement. Most children in this age range want to be very independent. It is my job to allow them to do so in a safe environment with supervision. This is what helps our children learn and grow, and that's our mission.

We are CPR & FIRST AID Certified and enrolled in ongoing DHR approved

training for ECE

This is a fun and flexible low ratio environment that supports every child's need for a balanced day of stimulating activity, quiet time, small group interactions, free-play and independent exploration.

Goals for our Toddlers:

Our first mission is to work on goals that the parents have set for their children while in our care. It should be a joint effort between home and school encouraging each child's achievement of academic and developmental goals.

We provide opportunities for maximum development in all areas, including language, self-help, motor skills and social skills.

We provide an environment that will offer experiences that promote initiative, creativity, independence, and self-esteem.

We create an environment of trust, security, happiness, and safety, supporting sound emotional development.

Stimulating your child is as important as formal education. Experience is a wonderful tool to stimulate your child's mind and make learning fun. By involving the children in the activities we make them use their minds and imaginations. Exercising the mind is as important as exercising the body.
