Description: Steps of Faith Childcare Ministry is a ministry of First Baptist Church of Sullivan, Indiana. The main mission of this ministry is to assist families by providing Christian childcare in order to “train up a child in the way he should go” (Proverbs 22:6). Our focus is to provide a safe, stimulating, loving environment which promotes each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. The church and staff at Steps of Faith Childcare Ministry will be committed to the families and children we serve.
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.
