Happy New Year!!!🎉🎊🎉🎊

We sincerely thank all of our First Steps parents for trusting us with your child(ren). Your love, kindness, patience, and faith in us encouraged us through challenging moments and helped carry us through our very first year.

Through every high and low, every success and challenge, God has truly been faithful to us. 🤗

As we prayerfully step into 2026, we look forward to a blessed year ahead. We are excited to continue providing a safe, loving, and nurturing atmosphere where your child can learn, grow, and thrive. 🤗♥️

It is amazing to see how much our kiddos have grown over this past year. Wow!!👶🏻👶🏾👧🏻🧒🧒🏾👧🏻👧🏾🙋🏻🧒🏾

Most people would agree that this year has flown by. Time moves quickly, and childhood passes just as fast. One moment we’re holding infants who can’t walk, talk, or feed themselves, and before we know it, they’re taking their first steps, speaking their first words, and making an effort to feed themselves with growing confidence.

At First Steps Child Care Center, we’re reminded every day that the time we pour into our children shapes who they become. For this reason, we strive to build a foundation of love, care, compassion, and faith. ❤️🤗

You'll never find a perfect mom, dad, caregiver, teacher, or daycare center, but when love, care, and concern are present, it makes a world of difference in a child's life and the care they receive.❤️❤️❤️

We love our Kiddos here at First Steps, and God loves them too.

If you or someone you know is looking for childcare, give us a call at 573-797-6570 or come and pick up an application at 1028 E. High St., Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Update!!

Family and friends, we are happy to announce that we now accept Child Care Subsidy.

We appreciate your patience and continued interest, as the subsidy process has been long and tedious.

Please feel free to come and pick up an application. If you need our DVN number, please send a direct message.

We want to start enrolling our new kiddos on the first Monday in June, but we can work out a plan with you if you need immediate care.

On Friday, June 6th, and Friday, June 13th, we will be open from 5 pm to 6pm, so you can tour the facility, sign your application, and meet the director if you are interested.

Thank you again, and we look forward to talking to you soon.
