The Ready For Preschool Program at Little Steps promotes early learning for children who are 3-years-old to 4-years-old. Our Preschool engages our children socially, intellectually, physically, and emotionally. Each day combines gross motor, and fine motor, sensory activities to work on social skills such as turn-taking and communication with peers.

 Building on the skills developed in Pre-K Prep, our Fantastic Fives program supports more advanced social communication, peer interactions, and following multi-step directions in a small-group setting. This program is ideal for 5-6 year-olds who are working on expanding their play and conversation skills. Through a mix of structured and free play, arts and crafts, sensory activities, movement-based games, and collaborative tasks, children will develop stronger communication, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities. Our experienced therapists guide each session, ensuring individualized support while encouraging independence and peer connection.
