First Steps Early Childcare, located in Hoover, Alabama, is a nationally accredited program through the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC) . We proudly hold a five-star rating and are partnered with the Family Child Care Partnership (FCCP), a program administered through Auburn University that supports family child care providers in achieving national accreditation standards .

Our mission is to provide a safe, clean, warm, positive, and responsive environment that fosters your child’s natural inclination to learn and grow. We understand that children are natural thinkers and reflective problem solvers, and we work to encourage this by supporting their innate curiosity and desire to explore and solve problems. This approach promotes learning and sets your child up for success in school readiness and in life.

We offer programs for children from infancy through age 14, including drop-in care, before and after school care, weekend care, and Parent Night Out. Our goal is to support working families by providing high-quality, developmentally appropriate child care that stimulates social, cognitive, physical, and emotional growth  .

At First Steps Early Childcare, we believe that every child is unique and has the potential to excel. We focus on providing a wholesome environment that fosters their growth and learning. Our objectives include offering a secure and healthy atmosphere, nurturing positive attitudes, developing self-esteem, and promoting responsibility. We also prioritize the comfort and peace of mind of working parents while emphasizing academic excellence and hands-on learning  .
