About Us

A Home Away from Home, Right Here in Pratt

First Steps Daycare has been a trusted part of the Pratt community for years. We opened our doors with a simple belief: every child deserves a warm, safe, and stimulating environment where they can grow at their own pace.

Located on West 10th Street, our home-like setting gives parents peace of mind and children the freedom to explore, create, and discover. We're not a factory — we're a family, and that shows in everything we do.
