We”ve been part of Small Steps family for several years now, and it has truly been such a gift for our family. Both Meleah and Cooper, have grown up in this warm, loving environment where the staff treat them like their own. there’s always something fun and engaging happening-from seasonal events to creative classroom activities-but what we appreciate most is the thoughtful focus on early education and adaptive skills. We’ve watched both of our kids thrive emotionally, socially, and academically, and we’re so thankful to Small Steps for giving them such a strong and joyful start, -Tyler and Savanna Garner

Small Steps Preschool is the place to bring your kiddos! They provide a safe, fun, and engaging environment. They provide hands-on learning experiences that are not only fun but build on important skills for your child. Small Steps provides a Christ centered education that build upon their knowledge of Jesus! I love when they start singing songs “from school “ as we get ready for school in the morning! As a parent, I wanted a place I could trust to take care of my precious children like their own and this is the place! My oldest started Small Steps when she was two! Now her brother has joined and the two love Mrs. Melissa and Mrs. Shelly so much! -Taylor Woodcock
