Description: Little Steps Childcare Inc. offers a safe, nurturing environment where your child will get the attention and care that he or she needs. Our ratio of children to adults is always within state guidelines - and often even lower - to make certain each child receives top-quality care.
We are also a state licensed daycare facility and have met or exceeded all health and safety guidelines. CCDF is welcome.
At Little Steps Childcare Inc., your child will participate in developmentally-appropriate activities throughout the day, such as:
Early Learning Curriculum
Arts and Crafts
Music
Pre-Reading Activities
Physical Educations
And much more......
You can rest assured that your child will be cared for with the utmost kindness, love and respect. We believe all children are precious gifts and we treat them as though they are our own.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
