The remainder of the First Step Staff consists of professional teachers trained in Early Childhood education. Each staff member had been selected based on their education, professional training, experience, caring and compassionate way with children. Our staff continues to improve their knowledge of child development through teacher workshops and regular classes in pediatric CPR and First Aid. In most classrooms at First Step all teachers are state certified.

Class size ratios are as small as 4 to 1 in the young classes and 7 to 1 in the pre-k classes. These numbers are well below state standards. Our classrooms provide a strong academic curriculum within a warm and supportive environment. This allows children to grow to their fullest potential. We are proud to say most of our staff has been with us since we started the school.
