First Steps ECEC has been licensed with NYS Office of Child and Family services since March 1998. First Steps also participates with Quality Stars NY and collaborates with the Onteora Central School district facilitating a half day and full day UPK classroom.
First Steps is a community service of the Overlook United Methodist Church~we are grateful for the large-open classroom space, the large gross motor room, playground and Peace Garden! First Steps continues to embrace the community and their families as we learn and grow with children and supporting their families in an exciting, safe, nurturing and child centered environment.
First Steps strives to support families in their effort to ensure the wholesome, social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of their children by providing high quality educational care at the lowest possible cost.
To that end, structured learning experiences along with creative play opportunities are designed to enhance the growth and development of each child in a safe and nurturing environment.
Because each child is a unique and special human being, First Steps creates an atmosphere where each child:
is respected as an individual.can develop and grow at his or her own pace.Finds encouragement to realize his or her fullest potential.receives personal attention from caring and responsive adults.can learn in a safe and stimulating environment.It is our belief at First Steps that each child has the ability and desire to learn and grow in all developmental areas. We are here to facilitate those experiences and support each child in this endeavor.
