Preschool Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step By Step Child Development Society offers an enriched, high quality\u00a0half day preschool\u00a0program. All of our programs are child focused. We believe that learning should be fun and include all aspects of development. We keep in touch with the trends and needs within our community and with the latest research in childcare. Our goal is to support families in preparing their children for the up and coming years and to build each child\u2019s skills for the future. Staff are experienced Early Childhood Educators with some special needs. Staff are always upgrading and taking professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer a rich program that focuses on kindergarten readiness skills, good problem solving skills, group skills, large and small muscle skills. These are fun based programs with the emphasis on each child in the group. There is a balance on inside and outside play, small and large group games, creative challenges, a balance of busy and quiet play and so much more. Our goals for all children in these programs are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • That each child leaves here feeling really good about who they are.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • That each child leaves here with an acceptance of others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • That each child leaves here with an excitement for learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Preschool program spaces are available from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm and are available five days per week, and includes lunch and morning snacks. This program runs on the school calendar and is not available during Pro-D days, Spring Break, Christmas Break or Summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
