Our Philosophy at Big Steps Little Feet :

Mission Statement:

To build each child's character through high quality Christian care and instruction for our children, our future generation.

Philosophy:

God creates us all special and unique. We at Big Steps Little Feet believe that we were created to grow and develop the skills and abilities God gives each one of us. Our programs and activities are based on Godly principles and sound, proven curriculum. We also believe that Big Steps Little Feet is an extension of the home. Part of our instruction includes techniques of role-modeling and hands-on skills that can be reinforced in parenting. Each child is treated equally regardless of race, family background, or religion. The management believes that our employees are a big part of motivating children to learn and grow. This takes an employee that enjoys working past the level of basic care, demonstrating a love and concern for each child.
