*** There is a new update about Early Childhood Education continuing in this location!

Hope you will check it out below!!! ***

As we enter into 2019, we need to let you know about some recent changes that will be happening regarding First Step Preschool.

After much thoughtful consideration, I have decided that this

2018/2019 school year will be the last year for First Step Preschool:(

***However...There will be a new preschool in this location for the 2019-2020 school year!!!

It is called Jump Start Preschool and they are super excited to be opening this fall!!!

Please feel free to contact them at jumpstartpreschool123@gmail.com or visit their website at: Http://www.jumpstartpreschool.net

for additional information!

I am very happy that Early Childhood Education will be continuing in this location where so many little ones received their first school experiences!

*** I will also paste below some information about the new owners that might be helpful if you are looking for the perfect spot for your little one!

As the owner of First Step, for the past 20 years, First Step has been an amazing and wonderful part of my life!

2018 was filled with many blessings for my family,... a new little grand baby, my 88 and 89 year old parents joining us in our household, and lots of additional special things... and with these blessings, I have decided that I'd like to be able to spend more time with my family!

I am thankful to have been a part of so many families for so many years!

I have treasured all the time that I have been the owner,administrator, and teacher at First Step, and am sorry that I will not have the opportunity to guide and nurture your little one...

Please know though, that I wish you all the very best, and I thank you so much for your interest in our program. I will really miss all the joy of little smiles and hugs as they bounce into the classroom!

Thank you again for visiting our site, and I wish you all the very best in the future! Hugs my friends, Kim Ritt :)

Pease feel free to email any questions to: firststeppreschool123@gmail.com

This is a note from the new owners! I really like them and think you will too! :)

She is currently attending Kent State for Early Childhood and has 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. She is a child care provider in high demand to over 20 local families. Together we are excited to bring our teaching skills, love of children, creativity, organization and a whole lot of fun to the classroom!
