Mission

Early Steps is a hands-on non-profit organization. Our sole mission is to help foster inclusive communities within NYC independent schools. We accomplish this by supporting families as they learn about and apply to kindergarten and first grade levels. We also work to provide ongoing support to our alumni students/families as they move through their educational journeys. At Early Steps we are dedicated to our mission, our children and their families, and our member schools. Families, children and schools are treated with honesty and respect as we strive to find the best independent school setting for each child. Early Steps team members are both professional and compassionate. They are trusted by schools and families alike to balance the needs of all constituents, always with an eye on what’s best for each child.
