Our Mission
To provide an exemplary early childhood program to instill and foster the social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth of economically at-risk children and their families.
Our Program
Small Steps Nurturing Center operates two preschools for economically at-risk children living in the Fifth Ward and surrounding areas of inner-city Houston, Texas. We provide a high-quality education, social and emotional support, a nurturing Christian environment, transportation, and nutritious meals to children ages two through six living in poverty. Small Steps operates five days a week, nine months each year (plus one month of summer enrichment), at no financial cost to the families we serve.

How to Help Small Steps
Small Steps depends exclusively on private donations from individuals, corporations, churches, community groups, and foundations. Help from the community is essential to continue our program.
Prayer Partners
This is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to be an integral part of the work the Lord is doing in our students’ lives! Each Prayer Partner is assigned an individual Small Steps student to pray for throughout the school year.
