Activities at First Step Family Child Care

My family daycare programs provides a variety of toys, books, and age appropriate activities all to stimulate and nourish children's curious minds. I will help them to develop and learn the following skills through playing and structured activities:

• Social Skills
• Language Arts
• Listening Skills
• Fine & Gross Motor Movements
• Letters
• Numbers
• Shapes
• Colors
• Music & Songs

In addition to structured activities, I also encourage unstructured playtime in order to allow the children to use their own imaginations for discovery, invention and to inspire a sense of adventure.

I also offer circle time and story time each day.

Music teachers and art teachers make regular visits to provide creative enrichment qualities for the children, and our full-time assistants speak Spanish with the children to promote a bilingual environment.

Field Trip

Depending on the time of year and the weather, we will explore our local environments and surroundings with trips to the following locations:

• Hynes Playground
• Arnold Arboretum
• Neighborhood adventure walks
