In 2012, as demand for Small Steps’ services in the Fifth Ward continued to grow...

We expanded the Fifth Ward campus and added an additional wing, allowing Small Steps to meet more of the demand for high-quality early childhood education in the Fifth Ward. In 2024, we completed our second expansion of the Fifth Ward campus. Now fully enrolled, this campus will serve 180 students in need in the 2026-2027 school year. We feel blessed to have been a part of this historic community for more than 15 years!
