Enrichment Programs

Our foreign language specialists visit our schools twice per week. Children develop an appreciation for different cultures and learn the fundamentals of either Spanish or French. Children absorb the different languages at an early age and we include toddlers in this program. Foreign language classes are included in our standard tuition. Compare our program using native speakers teaching conversation techniques to the children to other programs using a canned curriculum taught by the classroom teacher, who may or may not speak the language. Other centers may offer many types of languages in their program, typically they’re using memorization techniques e.g. flash cards as the basis for their language programs where the children may memorize a word but in most cases do not appreciate the art of the conversation.

This is an optional program at Step By Step and is available for children over 3. Ms. Missy is our Dance Instructor, she has been teaching dance forever and her special ways work wonders with the children as they explore the various dance methods. Classes take place during the day, which frees Mom and Dad from driving to classes on the weekend. We have a dance recital in May, a major production at Step By Step and an exciting time for our dancers.
