Toddler FAQs
Here at First Steps we strive to help strengthen and maintain children’s Armenian identity and cultural roots. In order to preserve an important aspect of our heritage, our language, we incorporate both Armenian and English into our curriculum and daily activities. We strive to teach children words and phrases in both languages to strengthen both their English and Armenian.
Our staff consists of a culturally variant group of teachers and assistants who speak a variety of different languages and dialects. We strive to maintain a sense of togetherness while adjusting curriculum to fit the needs of children’s dialects rather than separating children on the basis of dialect. For example, in a classroom with both Western and Eastern Armenian speaking students, worksheets would be produced in both dialects to cater each student’s needs.
For each age group, First Steps has assigned a different color uniform. Uniforms are available for purchase at Modella Uniforms.
Yes. The tuition rate includes a morning snack and lunch. After enrollment, parents will receive a lunch menu with a weekly breakdown of all items on our menu.
