STEPS Program

STEPS (Starting Transitions Early to Promote Success) provides support, resources and experiences for children ages birth to 5 years old and their caregivers.

The Spring 2022 Growing into Kindergarten event was a great success! Children enjoyed the games, activities and opportunities for skill building, and family members made connections with other parents, community members and service providers, and collected loads of resources and tools to support their family's transition toward kindergarten!
