Our Vision
At Marshall First Step Academy, it is our vision to provide the community with a high quality option for early childhood education. We will create a warm, caring environment where children feel secure and parents feel welcomed to take part in their child's education. A strong partnership between school, family, and community will be fostered in order to ensure educational success for each student. Teachers will support the healthy growth and development of every child in the program. Learning centers around the classroom, fully equipped with developmentally appropriate learning materials and toys, will beckon children to explore. Students will be kept actively engaged in a wide variety of learning opportunities, both teacher-led and student-choice. Interactions between teachers, families, and students will be friendly and respectful. Marshall First Step Academy will be a place where parents will feel confident and secure bringing their children, knowing that they will be well cared for as they receive a quality education. It will be a place where students come each day excited to begin a new adventure. Students will leave Marshall First Step Academy with a firm grasp on basic skills and a love of learning.
