OUR PROGRAMS

 

       First Step offers quality education for preschool aged children, ages 2 -5 years old. The focus of the programs at First Step is to foster the development of the “whole child”- social, emotional, cognitive & physical development.

       Each classroom is designed to support children in their pursuit of learning and the programs include activities such as sensory experiences (water table, sand etc…), art explorations, scientific discoveries, exploring emotions and building friendships and music and movement.  

      In addition to strengthening socialization skills --

how to compromise, be respectful of others, and problem-solve -- First Step provides a place where your child can gain a sense of self, explore, play with peers, and build confidence.

     Our curriculum is developed by our experienced staff of early childhood professionals and is guided by standards of developmentally appropriate practice. Our teachers use many resources to plan our curriculum including, but not limited to, Sing, Spell, Read and Write, HMH curriculum, and the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s (NAEYC) accreditation standards as a frame work for excellence in programming, health and safety standards.
