Kay's Family Child Care, Aberdeen

At Early Steps Learning, we believe that play is the foundation of learning and growth. Our play-based curriculum emphasizes the development of critical social skills that help children build a strong foundation for school and life. These skills include conflict resolution, sharing, manners, empathy, self-respect, and respect for others. We proudly implement a blend of Teaching Strategies Gold, FunShine Express, and curriculum influences from Creative Curriculum. These approaches focus on fostering growth in key developmental areas: social-emotional, language, physical, literacy, cognitive, and communication skills. Through engaging, age-appropriate activities, children are encouraged to explore, create, and learn at their own pace in a nurturing and inclusive environment. Our philosophy centers on the belief that children learn best through play and social interaction. By engaging with peers in meaningful play, they develop essential skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and emotional intelligence—skills that prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond. Early Steps Learning is more than just a childcare program; it’s a place where children play, grow, and thrive. We provide a safe, welcoming, and stimulating environment where every child’s curiosity and individuality are celebrated. Join us in shaping confident, compassionate, and capable learners!
