First Steps Learning Center

Welcome to First Steps Learning Center!

It is the heart of First Steps Learning Center to partner with parents as they raise their child to love and serve God. We strive to provide a safe, secure and clean environment for your child.

We believe that children at this age learn best in a warm, loving and nurturing environment. The curriculum we use is a hands-on approach to learning. Your child’s day will be filled with fun activities that will enhance their social and learning development.

Curriculum

One & Two year old classes

Use the Wee Learn curriculum.  This is a learning center based curriculum which brings God into the preschooler’s everyday activities.  Whether they are playing in the home living center, the art center, the nature center, reading books or hearing Bible stories, they learn about God’s love for them and the wonderful world He created.

Three year old classes

Use All Aboard the Animal Train by My Father’s world.  This is a year-long hands-on learning adventure with fun and easy-to-teach Bible-based lessons. Your child will learn about 12 animals through stories, finger plays, creative play, and colorful animal cookie cutters. Along the way, they will experience spiritual growth, cognitive development, reading and math readiness, and develop a love of learning.

Four year old classes

Use the Voyage of Discovery by My Father’s world.  They will gain academic readiness skills with the alphabet and numbers, enjoy read-aloud times, develop fine and large motor skills, and increase in cognitive skills. Most importantly, children learn God’s truth and are encouraged to live it in their lives.
