Expert Toddler Care & Early Learning 

Since 2012, Small Steps Preschool has provided high-quality, locally and family-owned childcare, proudly participating in the Minute Menu Food Program and Stars Program to ensure the best care for your child. 

Engaging Toddler Care for Ages 12-36 Months 

Your toddler’s day will be filled with hands-on learning, discovery, and play in a nurturing environment. We provide breakfast, lunch, and nutritious snacks to fuel their growing minds and bodies. 

Outdoor Exploration & Active Learning

Toddlers will be enrolled in our Fun Shine Express Curriculum - Buttercup Program, designed to encourage early learning through movement, play, and sensory experiences. As part of this program, toddlers will engage in outdoor exploration, with a dedicated section of our playground tailored for safe and age-appropriate fun.
