Last month, we celebrated Miss Angela, Miss Alexis, and Miss Kaylee's Anniversary! 🎉

Miss Angela has been with us for 11 years and continues to be an exceptional support to our students, staff, and families. Thank you, Miss Angela, for all you do to make STEPS Academy a wonderful place to be!

Miss Alexis celebrates two years! Thank you, Miss Alexis, for relating to our oldest students, supporting them in being as independent as possible, teaching them new skills, and having fun along the way! Thanks for your continued dedication to the Academy and our students!

Two years with Miss Kaylee, and we're so thankful she supports our youngest learners. From playing in the sandbox to teaching communication and everything in between, we're lucky to have Miss Kaylee on our Tadpoles team!
