Baby Steps Early Learning Center

From the Director:

We always keep in mind each child's individual development.

The staff at Baby Steps understand the stages of development and work with each child on their own level.

Our objective is to provide quality care in a loving environment where children are growing and learning through diverse, age-appropriate activities. Our sensory approach to learning has proven to be fun, stimulating, and effective.

Baby Steps offers extended care in the mornings and afternooons. Our preschool classes begin at 9a.m. Each classroom uses a CIRCLE TIME puppet that the children really love! It helps motivate the children to sing, dance, and interact with their friends. After CIRCLE TIME the children choose the learning center that they would like to participate in. The lead teacher usually works one-on-one with each child and their special activity for the day. The assistant teacher assists the children in the learning centers. The children cook at least once a week. The cooking activity is centered around the week's curriculum. We have a nutritious morning snack followed by outdoor playtime. Before lunch the children choose activities in the book center or science center. Lunch begins at 11a.m. and naptime is from 11:45 to 1:15. Music classes are on Wednesday afternoons at 1:45p.m.

Communication occurs daily and monthly. One of the benefits of having a small school is that the staff has time daily to speak to parents. I send home a letter at the beginning of each month informing parents of our curriculum for the month, special activities, birthdays, etc. I also subscribe to the Parent/Child magazine which I send home with each child several times a year.

We consider each child's individual needs.
