Supporting little steps, one play at a time

About Us

At Little Steps Development, we believe play is a child’s natural and most powerful way of learning.
Through play, children explore, create, and connect with the world around them—developing essential skills in a way that feels joyful and meaningful.

We are dedicated to supporting children in reaching their goals through engaging, creative, and developmentally appropriate experiences. Our play-based programs are thoughtfully designed to be flexible, adaptable, and responsive to the unique needs of each child and family.

Little Steps Development is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and neuroaffirming environment. We celebrate each child’s individuality, ensuring they feel seen, supported, and empowered to be themselves.

Our approach values strong partnerships—with families and allied health professionals—because we know that collaboration is key to helping every child thrive. We also equip families with tools and strategies to continue support at home, fostering consistency and confidence.

At Little Steps Development, we’re passionate about building meaningful connections, empowering families, and nurturing a lifelong love of play.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning."
