A unique day care that provides the stimulating curriculum of a center in the comfort of a warm, nurturing home environment. In business since 1988. Program is for children 18 months to 5 years old. Hours 7:30am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. Full-time and part-time openings available. Monthly enrichment programs are planned for the children. Low teacher/child ratio. CDA recipient, Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education, Member NAEYC, NAFCC, All Our Kin (Norwalk/Stamford area) and the Greater Norwalk Family Child Care Association. On any given day you can find us singing, dancing, puzzle solving, working with play dough, dramatic play, cooking, painting, reading or dictating stories about a picture. Outside play is a daily occurrence. We enjoy walks, fresh air and exercise in a fully fenced-in playground. My passion is working with young children to spark their interest and curiosity to learn and to increase their self-esteem. Everyone is special in their own way. I love to see them expand their horizons. They can accomplish anything they set their minds to! They have to just keep trying and work hard at it. They can do it! Every year I seek out additional training to enhance my knowledge of working with young children. You can check us out on Facebook: www.facebook.com/kidskastlefamilydaycare

A childcare provider that assumes responsibility for the care, growth, and development of children in their parent's absence. A daycare that meets the needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers and more. Infants need continuity of caregivers to form strong loving relationships that help them feel secure. Infants have the need to develop body movements and explore the world around them while being provided an environment that is safe and as unrestricted as possible. Toddlers are busy and energetic, persistent, and wants to be independent, we encourage our toddlers to do things on their own; as they are working to become independent and self-directed. Preschoolers are natural learners. They love to play, and they learn best through play experiences. Curious and energetic, generally happy, and eager to explore the world around them. Beginner Steps Daycare develops a curriculum considering all the domains of the individual child, what can be challenged, what can be scaffold, and what needs to be structured or unstructured, so every child grows developmentally and educationally. Representing a warm, loving family atmosphere. After all, when you realize that society's most important resource is our children, you begin to see the reason why Beginner Steps Daycare feels this is one of the most important jobs in the world. All meals included, only organic food served whether we are eating or planting our vegetables with organic dirt.

Toni P. says "Beginner Steps has been a great daycare choice for our family. Our son started at 3 months old and although going back to work was hard, I have never...
