Step by Step curriculum is based on current best practices
in child development, with an emphasis on relationship and
play based theory. Our staff is trained to use total
communication techniques, as well as sensory integration
applications, to all domains of development. Just as
important, we believe that parent involvement is
imperative in order for a child to be successful. All
our parents are invited to attend a monthly parent group,
and workshop and training opportunities are periodically
offered at no cost.
Inclusion is good for everyone.
Typically developing children learn about differences, patience,
being a role model, lending an extra hand and how to be a good
friend to all. Children with special needs learn how to be a kid!
The
staff at Step by Step is committed to providing families and
caregivers the tools needed to assist their child in maximizing
his or her developmental potential through play and the arts.
We believe that all children should have the opportunity to
participate in their community, schools, and every-day routines
and activities.
