Philosophy

At A Step Above the Rest Childcare, we believe that every child is a unique individual with their own strengths, interests, and pace of learning. We are committed to creating a nurturing and supportive environment where each child can thrive and grow in their own way.

We believe that children learn best through play — when they are actively exploring, discovering, and engaging with the world around them. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to be inspired by the children’s interests, allowing them to take the lead in their learning journey while we provide guidance, encouragement, and care.

At A Step Above the Rest, we are proud to help each child build confidence, develop essential skills, and foster a lifelong love of learning — always meeting them where they are and helping them grow from there.

About our program

Welcome to A Step Above the Rest Childcare, where we believe every child is a unique individual with their own interests, strengths, and pace of learning. We provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging home-based environment where children from infancy through early childhood can thrive.

At A Step Above the Rest, we offer a play-based, interest-driven curriculum that encourages curiosity, creativity, and hands-on exploration. We follow each child’s lead, creating meaningful learning experiences that build confidence, social skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

Our commitment is to provide care that truly is a step above the rest — giving families peace of mind and giving children the care, attention, and encouragement they need to grow and shine.
