Daily Schedule
Why we keep a daily schedule
At First Steps, we know that young children thrive on consistency. A predictable daily schedule helps little ones feel safe, confident, and ready to learn. By balancing active play, quiet time, meals, and rest, we give children the structure they need while still leaving room for curiosity and creativity.
Hours: Both centers operate Monday through Friday from 6:00am - 6:00pm.
First Steps Childhood Learning Center is a trusted daycare in Atchison, Kansas providing nurturing care and programs for children from birth to age 12.
