While The Kids Are Away, Parents Will Play!

Hi All,
We are excited to see some of you this coming Friday for Parent's Night Out! Woohoo!

Our team has tons of fun activities planned for the pajama party! Your kids will be entertained with snacks, arts and crafts, activities, movies, and much more. However, that leaves some of you parents who are using this unique opportunity for some alone time, a night out with friends, or date night with a big question: What to do with 3 hours off???  IN STEPPS to the rescue!

Many parents have asked what there is to do in the area. We have compiled a list of all the great restaurants and entertainment located just minutes from our office, including staff recommendations! Also included is the link to each restaurant for menu viewing, directions, reservations, etc.

Check it out below, and if you have any other questions feel free to call or send us an email!


The District: 2.8 miles/ 9 minutes from IN STEPPS

Resource Fair Recap & An Important Reminder

"The central struggle of parenthood is to let our hopes for our children outweigh our fears."

Happy Monday, everyone!
Hope you and your loved ones had a fabulous weekend and you are heading into this week feeling revived and energized!
We at IN STEPPS had a great weekend, as we got to spend our Saturday at the Santa Ana Zoo connecting with families and other vendors all in the name of resources! What a great turn out! If you were able to make it, we hope you found opportunities that will help better the life of your children and your family.

In case you missed the festivities... here are some pictures from the event (and an important reminder):

Some of IN STEPPS' supervisors.... Lindsey, Dave, and Nicole setting up the booth and showing off face painting options!


Hey Dave, the ring pops are for the kids!

Nicole face painting Spiderman! She had a line all day! The kids loved her fantastic face painting skills! 

Our table!  


Just a reminder... We still have a couple of spots left for our Parent's Night Out event THIS Friday (May 20th) from 6:30-9:30. The cost is $30 and $15 for each additional sibling. Drop the kids off and go catch a movie, dinner, or just relax for a little bit. The last day to sign up is Wednesday, so get your registration forms in. You can email us, give them to your supervisor if you are an IN STEPPS family, or call!
Also, the first of two social skills groups sessions will be starting this Saturday. We will be using Michele Garcia Winner's work and curriculum!
We are so excited! Let us know if you want to squeeze into the first session or sign up for the second session later this Summer! It's going to be so much fun, we have tons of great activities planned!

Have a great week! :)

We hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! Whether you are a mom, an expectant mother, or if you just had a chance to celebrate the mom in your life... we hope that all the women out there know how appreciated they are and how important their hard work is. Moms sacrifice so much for their children, and that is a priceless gift.

IN STEPPS staff will be on site and assisting Alicia during all photo sessions to ensure the comfort of you and your children, and to guarantee your child's smile and personality shines!
Alicia Q.'s photography speaks for itself. Check out her website here. She specializes in infants, toddlers, and young children and will provide a wonderful session for you at an amazing price!
