Steps to Success, Inc.

Steps to Success believes that to work with children is to invest in the future. To foster a well adjusted, confident individual is to create a responsible community member. By providing children with the opportunity to learn respect for their environment, taking responsibility for their actions, and reaching their goals, the center desires to empower children. The staff strives to model cooperation and caring interactions to build the childrens sense of community. We believe that it is important to emphasize the social and emotional development of the children as well as their physical, language, and cognitive development.

Children need a consistent yet flexible schedule. By using an eclectic use of learning opportunities, we believe we are able to meet the needs of the childrens varying backgrounds, developmental needs, and learning styles. The progress and growth of the children are important to us.

We believe modeling community relationships with the children enables them to appreciate their part in the community. Celebrating the childrens cultural uniqueness benefits the sense of community fostered in the classrooms and our holistic approach to education.
