Beginning with infants, we work tirelessly to build a foundation of learning that will help your child succeed. At A Step Ahead Child Care Center we understand that you are choosing us to care for the most precious person in your life and we accept that responsibility as if it were our own child.

Our infant caregivers are full of love and hugs and are trained in the methods required for the growth and development of your child. Various experiences are designed to promote gross motor skills while providing a stimulating environment which helps foster trusting relationships.

We provide reports for each parent which document our infants’ naps, diaper changes, feedings and moods. We meet all our infants’ needs promptly and lovingly, helping them learn to trust themselves and their world.

Our young toddler program offers increased learning with a focus on language and motor skill development through exploratory and self-guided play.

Educational tools including shapes, colors, letters and symbols are introduced to encourage the foundation for later academic learning. Music, art and reading further enhance and enrich the learning environment. Young Toddlers are also provided with frequent outdoor and indoor play sessions.

Throughout the activities, teachers are supportive and positive in their interactions ensuring the growth of the children at all times.

In our Older Toddler program, additional learning enhancement is provided by continued music, art and reading presentations as well as self-guided independent play.

Two-year-olds are encouraged to take on more independence to build self-esteem and confidence. Further orientation of letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc. takes place to support recognition and later learning. Read aloud sessions promote language development.

The Preschool Program continues themes of academic learning while also adding some new exciting elements to the curriculum.

This program furthers the use of structured curriculum while continuing to utilize the complementary educational enrichment of music, art, field trips and self-guided play. Parents are given detailed schedules for weekly curriculum as well as suggestions for increased learning at home.

Our School Age Program offers support and education for before- and after-school care as well as a specialized summer program.

Before- and after-school care is available to school age children throughout the school year as well as on school holidays. Children are supervised in our safe environment while they play, socialize and get support to complete their homework. We also provide unique excursions and special activities during school holidays and summer.
