Small Steps Nurturing Center

Hope for Children Straight from the Heart.

The mission of Small Steps Nurturing Center is to provide an exemplary early childhood program to instill and foster the social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth of economically at-risk children and their families. Small Steps believes the way to prepare disadvantaged children for success in elementary school and life is through participation in a comprehensive, high-quality early childhood education program. Small Steps’ accredited program seeks to narrow the opportunity gap for our students, support their holistic development, and ultimately change the cycle of intergenerational poverty for their families. Small Steps builds a strong foundation for student success by offering a high-quality education, social and emotional support, a nurturing Christian environment, nutritious meals, and transportation to children ages two through six. We operate two preschools serving the Fifth Ward and Gulfton/Sharpstown communities.
