Our Approach
Educators and psychologists are agreed that more learning takes place during the first five years than at any other period in life. It is during these formative years that character and personality are developed, and basic attitudes formed. Children are entitled to an opportunity to grow and develop under the most favorable conditions.

We also offer an extended day from 7:30am to 6:00pm. Broad Horizons boast a maximum class size of fifteen children with two teachers. With the low ratio of students to teachers many activities are individualized giving the kindergarten an d preschool child the special attention needed to make the year a memorable one. Step Ahead also offers a prekindergarten and preschool class with a flexible schedule. Parents are able to choose the mornings your child will attend.
A Day in the Life
Kids don’t have a lot of control in their lives and a structured environment can give them a sense of organization, stability and comfort. That, in turn, should help develop better behavior and some sense of personal control – always a challenge, especially with young kids. Step Ahead Kindergarten and Preschool helps its students transition into a structured academic environment through specialized programs that establish positive habits and understanding of essential concepts.
