About
Us

Welcome to Steps Academy!

In operation since 2012, ​First Steps Academy provides a caring environment for children ages 3 - 5, in which children can grow socially, emotionally, mentally and creatively while maintaining the integrity of smarts. In this environment children discover the inherent goodness in all that they are.

It is well established that the most important years of learning begin at birth. At this early age, a child’s brain is making connections that will last a life time. During these years, a human being is capable of absorbing more information at one time than will ever be possible again.

​The environment of the young child influences the development of cognitive and emotional skills due to the rapid brain growth that occurs. Studies have shown that high quality preschools have both short and long term effects in improving a child’s outcome. 

After months of renovations, painting and setting up, September 2019 we reopened our Out of School program, now called Big Steps Academy. A true kids club for children from grade 1 - 6 to hang out before and after school. 

Steps Academy is proud to be family owned and operated in Calgary.

Our Mission

Operating since 2012, ​First Steps Academy provides a caring environment in which children can grow socially, emotionally, mentally and creatively while maintaining the integrity of smarts. In this environment children discover the inherent goodness in all that they are.

We provide an atmosphere in which children can learn to live effectively with themselves and others, while experiencing many chances for success and excellence. In a world that grows more competitive each day, the staff of First Steps Academy assist the children to experience happiness and success in a sportsmanship and teamwork environment. This is done by making material available in an interesting, exciting manner so children can be children; free to play, explore and imagine over the course of a child oriented day.
