FROM THE DIRECTOR:

 Lanette Nowak

I am so pleased to be in the position of Director at the Alton Step By Step program and to be a part of all of the wonderful things that are taking place!  I have been busy the past few weeks getting to know the staff and children and meeting the families.  I appreciate the hard work and patience that has been extended to me during this time of transition.  I look forward to getting to know all of you better and to some exciting things that we have planned!  

 

SPRING IS COMING!

March 20th is the first day of spring, however I am not sure that we even had a winter.  Days will now vary in temperature and so we ask that you please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the day's weather as it changes.   Please check with your child's teacher to make sure they have a complete change of clothes at the center, as accidents do happen easily from spills, etc.  Please be sure that your child has underwear, socks, shirt, and pants.  Also, please make sure that all of their outerwear is labled with their name.  

 

In case of power outages or extreme bad weather, if the center should need to close, it will be posted on this page.  We will also notify KMOX, Fox 2, and News 11, as soon as that decision is made.  This childcare center will be listed in the Preschool category as Step By Step in Alton.  Please be aware that there is another Step By Step in the St. Louis area, as well as our centers in Bethalto and Brighton.  Please bs sure to notify us if you have a phone number, address, or employment change in case the center would need to contact you.

 

We presently have child care openings in our School Age Latchkey classroom.  This is for children who are enrolled in Kindergarten through 5th grades.  We are a bus stop for Mark Twain (formerly East), Horace Mann, and Love Joy.  The daycare does after school bus transportation to West and North Elementary Schools. 

 

Be sure to check our calendars on the home page and your child's classroom to be up-to-date on all the happenings at our center.
