Where Curiosity and Care Connect
Welcome to Your Community Partner in Early Childhood Education
A Place to Grow, Learn, and Thrive
At A Step Ahead Millard, we believe every child deserves more than just a safe space—they deserve a place where their imagination, confidence, and joy are nurtured daily. As a family-owned center, we value strong family relationships and take a hands-on, collaborative approach with parents. Our welcoming classrooms and vibrant play areas encourage children to ask questions, embrace curiosity, and discover their potential. Our dedicated team supports each child’s unique journey, ensuring every learning moment is full of encouragement and excitement.
Programs for Every Step
Fostering Growth from Infancy to School Age
Our programs are designed to meet the needs of each developmental stage, from those first tender weeks through the growing years before school. Infants and toddlers enjoy caring routines, sensory experiences, and personal attention that spark early learning and a sense of security. Preschoolers and pre-K children dive into hands-on activities that build early literacy, math, and science skills, the building blocks of lifelong learning. Our school-age programs keep children engaged and inspired through creative projects, group play, and supportive after-school experiences. No matter their age, every child is given space to grow, discover, and thrive at their own pace.
Flexible Care for Your Family
Designed with Your Busy Schedule in Mind
We understand that every family’s schedule is unique, so we’ve built our care options to adapt right alongside you. Our center is open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, making it easy for parents with early starts or varying work schedules to have peace of mind. Whether you need full-time, part-time, or seasonal care (including breaks and holidays), our flexibility ensures your child is always in a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. Our strong partnership with parents means we’re here to help you find childcare solutions that truly fit your family’s needs.
Growing Together, Every Step of the Way
Rooted in Community, United by Support
Community is at the heart of everything at A Step Ahead Millard. From your child’s first day, you’ll experience a sense of belonging and partnership beyond the classroom. We believe in open communication, shared celebrations, and building meaningful connections with each family. Our center is a place where friendships flourish, between children, families, and teachers, and where support is always just a conversation away. Together, we create an environment that feels like home, setting the stage for children and families to grow, connect, and succeed.
