About the Rockin Robots & Scientists Programs at My Baby Steps Academy
Our experienced early education teachers will introduce your preschooler to cognitive skills (such as matching and sequencing), social skills (including effective communication and embracing diversity), as well as language arts and literacy skills (like storytelling and writing). At this crucial developmental stage, My Baby Steps Academy works diligently to promote self-confidence and independence in our preschoolers by encouraging them to proceed at their own pace based on their unique needs and abilities. Our comprehensive curriculum includes not only an emphasis on STEM, but also presents opportunities for shared and independent learning experiences in the areas of dramatic play, music, creative arts, computers, and fitness.
