Success Stories

"I don't know where to begin. Small Steps has helped my son grow in huge steps, both academically and personally. I can't say enough good things about the program and especially the staff who makes you feel very welcome and eases your mind that your kids are in great hands...staff go above and beyond answering any questions or concerns that we've ever had.

 

If I had to pick a negative it would be that my son has reached the age to where we have to say good bye. Small Steps will always be known for setting his amazing foundation in his learning process and we will always be grateful to them for that."

 

-Kevin & Michelle Wholly

Small Steps Academy is a ministry arm of Our Savior's Lutheran Church. As such, we exist to create an outreach opportunity to share the Gospel message with children and families in our community that may not yet know Jesus as their Savior from sin.

​

Our mission is "growing and going to God's people with God's Word."

​

Small Steps Academy is, therefore, established to train children in a caring Christian environment. We work with children to assist them in their spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social-emotional development. We consider ourselves partners with parents in the training of their children. 

Small Steps Academy is truly amazing. The staff pour their hearts and love into every student, creating a nurturing and inspiring environment where children thrive. What sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to individualized attention—every child is seen, heard, and supported in a way that meets their unique needs. It's more than just a school; it's a community where students are empowered to grow with confidence and joy. I thank Small Steps every day for making such a difference in mine and my child’s life!

"We have been a Small Steps family for the past 9 years! To us, Small Steps isn't a school its a family! They provide so much kindness and support to all children and their families! The culture they have created at this center allows for all teachers and administrators a chance to know all the kids, this makes each child feel special and safe! We couldn't have been happier finding this amazing place!"

The K Family 

We can’t say enough good things about Levi’s 1-year-old class! From the very beginning, Nancy, Kim, and Angelica have been such a gift to our family. We were a little hesitant at first about starting him in “school” so young (especially since our daughter started a bit later), but it quickly became clear that this was one of the best decisions we’ve made for him. The growth we’ve seen in his confidence and development has been incredible -- and all in such a positive, encouraging environment! Most importantly, we know he’s loved, cared for, and having so much fun in a clean, safe space every day. We’re so grateful for this sweet season and the amazing team guiding him through it! - Nikki
