Small Steps Nurturing Center provides an exemplary early childhood program to instill and foster the social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth of economically at-risk children and their families. We provide a high-quality education, social and emotional support, a nurturing Christian environment, transportation, and nutritious meals to children ages two through six living in
poverty. Through operating two preschools in the First and Fifth Wards of Houston, Texas, Small Steps invests in the lives of our students by meeting their needs, intervening early, and setting them on a path filled with greater opportunities. Our program is free for families. Requirements for admission:
