First Steps Primeros Pasos Inc.

Information

Organization's Own Description:

In 1996 a group of concerned citizens in Georgetown, Delaware, determined to find a way to provide safe, affordable and nurturing early care and education for the burgeoning number of children from Spanish-speaking families of the area was organized. These citizens included educators, clergy and people simply eager to do the best for children.

Today, the Hispanic community in Georgetown comprises over one-third of the area's population and the availability of child care, especially in a multicultural setting, remains nearly impossible for these families to access. Concerned that children were not receiving the early education that would enable them to succeed when they reached school age, this grass roots organization established a mission of providing exemplary early care and education.

First Steps Primeros Pasos has served over 200 children from six weeks through 4 years of age, reaping high compliments from the local public school system for the ability of Primeros Pasos' children to move successfully into the public schools. Working in a model of collaboration with other area service organizations, First Steps Primeros Pasos provided education for children and their parents, nutritional meals and health monitoring, and obtained social services where needed. It is this comprehensive care that we seek to re-establish.
