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...

Our New Family Registration for the

       2020-2021 opens February 4, 2020

With all of the uncertainty we are currently experiencing, the staff at The Footsteps Academy are looking ahead to our 2020-2021 school year! We know that due to social distancing guidelines, we can't do in-person tours of our beautiful school building but know that some of you may be looking at school options for your children. Our 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. We look forward to hearing from you! Please contact Keri Edwards at kedwards@footstepsacademy.org for more information!

The Footsteps Academy, Inc is an independently owned and operated 501c(3) located with the First Presbyterian Church of Bridgeport.  We are a non-denominational, Christian preschool governed by our own Board of Directors in charge of our own staffing and policies.

Welcome to The Footsteps Academy Preschool! We are proud to be celebrating our 23rd year serving children and their families in Bridgeport and the surrounding communities!
