First Steps Preschool originated in Lincoln in 2006. It established itself as a highly regarded, reputable daycare and preschool in Southern Delaware. At the time of the origination the State of Delaware was making significant changes in the child care industry in their efforts to i

mprove the standards of care, including minimum requirements for staff qualifications, a reduction of child to staff ratios, as well as implementing additonal rules and regulations. First Steps Preschool Administration and staff not only complied with the new regulations as they came about, but set forth an effort to exceed the standards of care where applicable (ie. Meeting the standards that the owners set forth for the center at the time of origin resulted in no receipt of income to themselves for the first twelve months, as any profit needed to go towards updating the curriculum, purchasing manipulatives, teaching tools and books, purchasing playground equipment and anything else that would benefit the children enrolled at the center. The additional center came about in 2011 when they were afforded the opportunity to acquire another site, now First Steps Preschool-Milford. The administrators strive to meet the children's "needs" and the parent's "wants." Equally important is addressing the community's needs and preparing the children for a school system that continues to face significant challenges and adversity due to budget constraints, and recognizing the challenges that children, parents, teachers and society, in general, are facing today. These ideals can be observed in the teachers at First Steps Preschool as well, as they demonstrate so passionately every day. We adhere to the knowlege that a center is only as good as it's teachers and make every effort not only to hire the most qualified, but the most dedicated. We are proud of the services that their staff provide and strive to maintain staff who have and maintain a good moral compass, ethical outlook, understanding, and work ethic, and demonstrate social skills, sensibiities, integrity, compassion. Their roles and responsibilities have many challenges and they strive to be the teacher that the child needs at that moment in time.

🍋💛 Our Jr. Preschoolers are natural lemonade makers! 💛🍋

Our Jr. Preschool class at Milford had so much fun making fresh homemade lemonade! We talked all about the process, explored the ingredients, and worked together to create our delicious treat. 🍋🥤

They were so proud to share their lemonade with their friends and staff—and we were so proud of them! 🥰

Little hands, big accomplishments! 🤗🍋✨

Here at First Steps Preschool we cherish the student teacher relationships we form every day. This sweet moment is a weekly occurrence when Mrs. Lee arrives. She is always coming in on Thursdays telling everyone “Happy Friday Eve!” Every Thursday for over a month the students run up to the gate and wait for her to get out of her car so they can scream Happy Friday Eve!!!!

Today our school age students learned the value of hard work and earning their own money. Throughout the last two weeks, they have been planning a lemonade stand! After making the perfect recipe, advertising, and hiring staff to run the stand, they were ready to sell! Other classes were encouraged to earn tickets throughout the week to spend on some ice cold lemonade 🍋. Once all the lemonade was sold, they had their own payroll system distribute paychecks to each staff member. Finally they enjoyed a shopping spree in their merit store buying fidgets and donating towards a class party.

The students had a blast organizing everything and have already asked to do it again this summer!
