Our Mission Statement
At Step Above Day Care, our mission is to provide child care that meets the needs of each child and family in a safe, educational environment. We pride our Center’s focus on the individual needs of each child, while providing quality, reliable and safe child care. Our goals are:
• To provide dependable child care services
• To create a child care setting for social, cognitiv
e, and physical development
• To provide a nurturing environment
• To provide a preschool program, readying children for lifelong learning
Step Above Day Care Center offers the opportunity for each child to develop physically, socially and cognitively according to their individual learning style. Each child is considered unique in temperament and rate of development. Curriculum is planned to enhance and challenge particular, distinct individual needs, interests and abilities. Activities and relationships occur in a healthy, positive and relaxed environment in which well-qualified staff provides personal attention, guidance and nurturing to each child. The Center strives to maintain continuity and consistency throughout the program by conducting cooperative staff planning, training and a variety of joint activities involving the various groups of children. In this context, all caregivers at Step Above are encouraged to express their individual educational strengths as they work with children and in their cooperative efforts with other staff members. When you come to Step Above Day Care, your child will receive the best care the industry has to offer. All you need to do is “expect more.”
We thank you for choosing us and look forward to having you and your child join our Step Above family. Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to promote a quality and caring atmosphere for toddlers and preschool children where they can feel free to explore and learn about their environment. Step Above is committed to providing a quality, developmentally appropriate, and educational/recreational program. We feel that these principles are important to a child’s development. The staff at Step Above respects each child as an individual, and seeks to foster a positive self image and encourages independence, which we feel is a key social skill that aids in problem solving. Hence, there is a stress on independence, which will allow the children to function more effectively in a social/academic atmosphere.
