GIGI's Little Steps
Group Family Day Care
Our Approach
At GIGI’S LITTLE STEPS, we believe that joyful days lead to brighter tomorrows — and that belief shines through in everything we do.
As a home-based group family day care, we offer a cozy, nurturing environment that feels just like home — because it is! Here, children are welcomed like family and given the space, support, and encouragement they need to learn, play, and grow at their own unique pace.
Our days are filled with laughter, creativity, and meaningful moments — from storytime snuggles and imaginative play to hands-on learning and outdoor adventures. With a small group setting, we’re able to give each child the personalized care and attention they deserve while fostering a close-knit, community feel.
We focus on the whole child — supporting emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development through play-based learning and positive guidance. Our goal is to plant seeds of confidence and curiosity, helping every little step today become a big leap tomorrow.
At GIGI’S LITTLE STEPS, we’re not just caring for children — we’re nurturing joyful beginnings and building bright futures, one giggle and step at a time.
Safety First
At GIGI’S LITTLE STEPS, joyful days begin with a safe, loving environment — because nothing matters more than your child’s well-being.
As a trusted home-based group family day care, we take safety seriously while keeping things warm and welcoming. Our space is thoughtfully designed to be both fun and secure, with child-friendly areas that encourage exploration without compromising safety.
We follow strict health and cleanliness standards every day — from frequent sanitizing to safe food handling and wellness checks — so that children can thrive in a healthy, happy space. Our safety practices are woven into everything we do, giving parents the peace of mind they need and the children the freedom to enjoy each moment with confidence.
Because when children feel safe and cared for, they can focus on what really matters: growing, playing, and building bright tomorrows.
