First Step Child Care Inc is a childcare and early education centre in Richton Park serving children from 6 weeks to 5 years. The centre operates infant, toddler, two‑year and preschool classrooms and also runs Head Start programming.
First Step Child Care Inc is a neighbourhood early learning centre that cares for children from infancy through preschool age. Programs cover infants, toddlers, two‑year olds and preschoolers and include Head Start services.
The centre uses Creative Curriculum, a play‑based, whole‑child approach that supports development across social‑emotional, physical, literacy, math, science and the arts. Classrooms emphasise hands‑on, project‑based investigations and family engagement in children’s learning.
Classroom arrangements are described by age: infant rooms with areas for quiet and active exploration and individualized schedules; toddler rooms with soft spaces and sensory materials to support movement and language; two‑year‑old rooms that introduce group learning and self‑help skills; and preschool rooms with literacy‑rich centers, group activities and guided play. The centre provides age‑appropriate meals and snacks and lists health and safety practices for children in care. Staff development provisions include hiring experienced educators and offering monthly trainings, coaching, scholarship opportunities and partnerships with Illinois Action for Children and Start Early.
Classrooms for infants provide spaces for quiet investigation and active exploration, with individualized nap and feeding schedules and teacher support for early language through songs and conversation.
Toddler classrooms prioritise safe areas for movement and sensory play, support vocabulary growth through books and conversations, and use routines to build a sense of security.
Two‑year‑old classrooms bridge toddler and preschool learning with a mix of individual play and group activities that introduce social skills, early math and literacy concepts and personal care tasks.
Preschool classrooms offer literacy‑rich centers, guided group activities, science and sensory experiences and child‑guided play to develop school readiness skills in literacy, math and social development.
