Classes are the main reason families join First Steps.

Benefits of Attending Our Classes
All classes are facilitated by excellent, caring teachers.
You have 30 to 60 minutes to focus on your child and interact together without the disruptions of the home routine.
Your child develops self-confidence through play and positive interactions.
Children (and you!) explore and experiment with a variety of toys and materials as well as interact with other children at their own pace whether the class is in-person or virtual.
By making their own choices, children gain a sense of mastery and confidence.
Our classes also provide opportunities for preschoolers to practice social skills and learn new faces, routines and transitions. They will be more comfortable when they move to an independent school experience because of their participation in First Steps with you.
If your child doesn't speak English, our classes offer an opportunity for you to support their first efforts in learning another language.
