First Steps Learning Academy is committed to providing the highest quality of education and care for our young scholars. We understand that the foundation of a child's educational journey is crucial, and that's why we place great importance on having the best qualified teachers who can nurture and guide our students in their early years. The Reggio Emilia Approach to Learning, a philosophy that emphasizes respect, responsibility, community, exploration, and self-guided curriculum, serves as one of our key inspirations. In alignment with this approach, we adhere to specific criteria in selecting and nurturing our educators, ensuring they are well-equipped to create an environment where children can flourish. In this pursuit, we focus on criteria such as fostering experiential learning, promoting meaningful relationships, and empowering children to have control over their learning journey. This dedication to excellence in teaching is integral to our mission, vision, and philosophy at First Steps Learning Academy.
