Welcome to Giant Steps Daycare and Preschool in Pine Meadow!

Since 1989, Giant Steps has promised to provide a stimulating, loving, and inclusive environment that benefits the child, their caregivers & our community!

Our Program

We designed our program to provide an inclusive, stimulating, loving and home-like environment. In turn which benefits the child, their caregivers, and our community.

Our program works to enhance your child’s self-esteem, encourage their self learning skills, develop social skills, and stimulate learning. All while building on their speech and language development and challenging their motor skills.

Child Centered

We challenge sensory, motor, perceptual and language skills through all kinds of materials and different hands on activities. Both of which are child-centered and teacher directed.

Learning by Playing

Work is planned emphasizing the process rather than the product. Based on the theory that children learn through playing and from new experiences, their classroom activities are varied! They include a balance of structure, free choice, indoor and outdoor play, active and quiet times.

Teachers who help your children learn, grow, & explore

Our family of teachers at Giant Steps strive to make your child a priority, and help our school feel more like a home. With diverse experience ranging from babysitting to post graduate early childhood programs, our teachers bring a wide array of different learning models to ensure each child will benefit in their own way.

Continuing education & safety

Just like the children at Giant Steps, our teachers are continually learning. Attendance at seminars, workshops and annual conferences is mandatory. We partake in staff development programs as part of our on-going training.

All of our teachers are certified in American Heart Association CPR and First Aid for children. Additionally, some staff members have been trained in medication administration and EpiPen injection.

Giant Steps is the best daycare around! I can’t imagine sending my kids anywhere else. From day one, I’ve felt great about dropping my boys off. They’re always met with a smile and a hug. My oldest was well prepared for Kindergarten thanks to the amazing teachers in the upstairs barn. Can’t say enough good things!

This daycare is *PHENOMENAL*. They take such good care of my little guy and he loves it there. They are so personable, helpful, and in tune with not just my kid but my whole family. I can't say enough great things about each and every person who works here, it's such a gem.
