Welcome to First Steps Early Childcare, where little feet take big steps toward a bright future!

Located in a warm, home-like setting, First Steps Early Childcare offers a nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn. As a licensed family childcare provider with years of experience—and a mother of two myself—I understand just how important it is for parents to know their child is in caring, capable hands.

We proudly serve infants through preschool-age children and are currently a STAR 1 provider in the Alabama QualitySTARS program, reflecting our commitment to quality early learning experiences. Our small group size allows for personalized care, strong family connections, and daily opportunities for meaningful play and development.

What Makes Us Special

• Faith-Based Values
  Our program is rooted in Christian values like kindness, gratitude, and respect. We welcome families of all backgrounds while incorporating age-appropriate lessons about love, faith, and friendship.

• Whole-Child Approach
  We focus on helping children grow in every area—socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Our days include music, movement, sensory play, early literacy, and learning through exploration.

• Family-Centered
  We believe families are children’s first teachers. We communicate openly, build trust with parents, and partner with you every step of the way.

• Safe & Stimulating Environment
  Our clean, cozy space is designed for young learners, with developmentally appropriate materials, a daily routine, and lots of love.

Our Mission

To provide a safe, faith-based, home-like environment where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them—one small step at a time.
