More Than Daycare— A Second Home

At My Little Steps Group Family Daycare, we understand that choosing childcare is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Located in the heart of Hempstead on Courtenay Road, our program blends the warmth of a family setting with structured educational activities.

Our small group size ensures every child receives personalized attention. We focus on developmental milestones, social-emotional growth, and creating a foundation of curiosity that lasts a lifetime. From infants ready to explore to school-age children needing after-school support, each child's unique pace and interests guide our approach.

Our Approach

Play-Based Learning That Sticks

We believe children learn best when they're having fun. Our curriculum is built around the Natural Learning Approach—where curiosity drives discovery and every activity is an opportunity for growth.

Developmental Milestones

Age-appropriate activities that support cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development at every stage.

Emotional Intelligence

We teach children to identify, express, and manage their emotions through guided interactions and modeling.

Individualized Attention

Small group sizes mean we know each child's strengths, interests, and areas for growth—tailoring experiences accordingly.
