First Tiny Steps Day Care located on 38th St., between 31st Ave and Broadway in Astoria, is committed to delivering the healthiest

environment

possible for your child.  Our day care facility is located on the first floor of a private home.  We have two separate rooms so that your child has variety as well as a program geared to his/her developmental level.  It also allows us to give some space between two children who may be having a tough moment dealing with one another.  The kitchen is separate and down the hall from the day care areas.  The spacious back yard is safe.  It meets all safety requirements including being completely fenced.  Our heat is provided by hot water rather than forced air, which is healthier for your child.  Additionally we run an air sterilizer and purifier that uses heated air to destroy airborne mold, bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and pollens to maintain the healthiest possible day care environment.  Our goal is to have all of our young ones in an environment that we would want if they were our own.
