Where Learning and Care Go Hand in Hand
A Family-Owned Childcare Center Dedicated to Your Child’s Growth and Success
From infants to school-age children, we provide a safe, supportive, and enriching environment tailored to every stage of development.
At A Step Ahead Springfield, we understand that every child and their needs are unique. That’s why we’ve created a childcare experience beyond the basics. Our family-owned center is more than just a daycare; it’s a place where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow. From our youngest infants to our school-age adventurers, we provide a nurturing environment that fosters emotional, cognitive, and social development. With flexible programs and a dedicated team, we’re here to support your family every step of the way.
Your Child’s Home Away From Home
When your child walks through our doors, they’re stepping into a place where they are truly seen, heard, and cared for.
We’ve created a space where warmth, laughter, and discovery are part of every day. Our classrooms are filled with warmth, laughter, and opportunities to explore, while our outdoor spaces inspire movement, teamwork, and discovery. At the heart of it all are our teachers, more than caregivers, they’re mentors and partners in your child’s growth. With calm routines, personalized attention, and a focus on emotional well-being, we ensure every child feels valued and supported.
By blending education with creativity, we make learning exciting and meaningful. Our goal is to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love for discovery every step of the way.
Flexible, Reliable Care for Busy Parents
We understand that life as a parent is a balancing act, and we’re here to make it a little easier.
Our programs are built with your family in mind, offering convenience and a true partnership in parenting. Need care from 6 AM to 6 PM? We’ve got you. Just need a few days a week to tackle your to-do list? We’re here for that too. And when summer or holiday breaks roll around, we’ll keep your elementary-age child engaged, learning, and having fun, so you can focus on what you need to do without worrying about what they’re up to.
Every family’s needs are different, and we’re here to meet you where you are. With open communication, a team of caring teachers, and a warm, welcoming environment, we’re not just here to care for your child; we’re here to make your life a little easier. Because at the end of the day, we believe that when your child thrives, your whole family does too.
