Join a Team That Makes a Difference


Working in early childhood education is about more than supervising children—it's about helping them build confidence, develop important life skills, and cultivate a lifelong love of learning.

Our educators play a vital role in creating meaningful experiences that encourage children to explore, imagine, create, and grow. Through play-based learning, movement-focused activities, and positive relationships, our team helps children reach important developmental milestones while creating joyful memories along the way.

We are always looking for individuals who share our commitment to providing exceptional care and educational experiences for children and families.

  • Continuous Improvement
  • Family Collaboration and Partnership

These values not only shape the experience for the children in our care but also help create a positive and rewarding environment for our staff.

What Makes Steps & Stages Unique


Not every child care center approaches learning the same way. Our philosophy combines creativity, movement, exploration, and hands-on experiences to help children develop socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.

Inspired by owner Samone Cole's background in kinesiology and physical education, movement is intentionally woven into our programs to support whole-child development. We believe children learn best when they are actively engaged, curious, and having fun.

As a member of our team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to an environment where learning feels exciting, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate.
