Spring Has Sprung!



A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." – Lao Tzu

Hello There! Spring is finally here, yay! Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weather and planning for an eventful Spring Break!

We have had quite a busy month (is it just us or is that becoming a recurring theme around here?)... and we are feeling on top of the world!

To start off, The First Annual In Stepps Open House was a HUGE HUGE HUGE success! We had such a great turn out and it was so much fun. Not only did we have a bounce house, face painting, crafts, games, and a photo booth.... but we also cooked almost 200 hot dogs! Wow! We hope all of you that made it out enjoyed yourselves as much as we did! The kiddos were adorable and we loved meeting your extended families (and introducing you to ours). Thank you SO much to the In Stepps team members that put in HOURS of time and a huge amount of work and effort to ensure the event went well. It would not as been possible without your dedication and flexibility. Seriously, it would not have been possible. Really. It wouldn't have been. So thank you! Once again we are reminded of the wonderful, fabulous, amazing, awesome, brilliant, excellent, great team we have. :) Also, another HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to all of the wonderful people/families/businesses that donated to our raffle. Those that won your amazing donations were thrilled. Gotta admit, some of us were a little jealous, too! You all sent in such awesome prizes!

Scroll down to the bottom of this post for a few of the pictures from the event (the rest can be found on our Facebook Page).

If you haven't seen the Evite or flyer for the first Parent's Day Out, don't worry! You still have time to sign up. Our St. Patrick's Day themed Parent's Day Out will be on March 31st from 11:00am-2:00pm. So make plans to go to brunch/lunch, run some errands, take a walk on the beach, grab coffee, get your hair or nails done, get in a workout, or anything else that you would like to do on a Saturday afternoon. Just leave the kids with us, because we will have lots of fun stuff planned! If you are new to Parent's Night/Day Out, check out our FAQ Post that has all the information you need. Spots are filling up quickly, so be sure to RSVP by clicking 'Yes' on the Evite or emailing info@instepps.com.

Due to some scheduling conflicts, the Learn In Stepps series will begin on April 7th (not March 24th as previously announced). There are still a few spots open if you would like to take advantage of this amazing learning opportunity for your child. Lean In Stepps classes will be held on Saturdays from 9:00am- Noon. By signing up, you will be giving your child a boost in their academic performance and their social skills in a small group learning environment. Enrichment in academics will be interspersed with social skill practice with high staffing ratios in each group! Goals for each child are individualized and classes will be divided into age groups. Homework for the week provided if requested! Each series is 12 weeks. For more information, pricing, or to sign your child up please email info@instepps.com. Hurry, space is limited! This opportunity is open to all families in the community!

Keep your eyes open for the new In Stepps Stars, insurance information, and upcoming Summer events!
