First Steps Child Development Program is based on the belief that children learn through play and experiencing the world around them. By providing children with a variety of learning experiences, we hope to contribute to the overall development of each child. Our main emphasis is to educate and prepare the children enrolled in the program to meet the challenges of a diverse world- and to do that in a way that values each child and affirms the worth of each child. We wish to enable children from all races, creeds and cultural backgrounds to feel valued and loved. The preschool is licensed by the state of Tennessee and maintains a 3-star quality rating, the highest level of achievement possible. Hours:
*Half Day Program: 7:30am - 1:00pm
*Full Day Program: 7:30am - 5:30pm
*Flexible enrollment options
