Our Philosophy

We believe that God has created each child in a unique and thoughtful way.  That our preschool should be an extension of the family.  That we should take an active role in the community around us.

Our Vision

Our vision and desire is to create a Christ-centered, Child-oriented preschool environment for children ages 2-5 where they can be nurtured, challenged, loved and guided into a knowledge of God and His love for them.

Our Mission

We pray God will use The Footsteps Academy to develop:

-Dependent Relationships with Jesus Christ

-Inter-Dependent Relationships with His people

-Redemptive Relationships with the people of our world.

Our Objectives

We have developed seven objectives which are utilized to ensure that our school continues to meet the needs of each and every student.

A Message from our Director...

New Family Registration for the

2021-2022 school year will open

February 2, 2021!

With all of the uncertainty we are currently experiencing, the staff at The Footsteps Academy is excited about our 2020-2021 school year! We are  open for full morning in-person instruction for children ages 2 years through Pre-K.  For the safety of our students, staff and families we have put into place COVID-19 guidelines based on the recommendations of the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics and CHOP.  Our goals are to provide a fun, age-appropriate and creative environment during a time that can feel very uncertain and unpredictable.  Specific COVID-19 guidelines are available upon request and we would be happy to answer any specific questions that you might have.

Director, Keri Edwards has done a Virtual Tour of our school building on the link below. Although, it is mainly showing the building itself, we are hoping that it becomes a springboard for an additional conversation by email, phone, or a Zoom meeting about the details of our program and the curriculum which can be more personalized to your family's needs and interests.

If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a tour or meeting please contact Keri Edwards at kedwards@footstepsacademy.org for more information! We look forward to hearing from you!
