Commitment to serving all Kent County children

First Steps Kent is committed to ensuring all families have access to high-quality early childhood education, programs, and services. Our purpose is rooted in the belief that children thrive when their culture, language, and other familial traits are interwoven with the foundations of healthy development and kindergarten readiness. In the absence of acceptance, when children are asked to invalidate their personal stories, not only do our children suffer, but our community suffers.

Our charge has not changed. We will continue to promote the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. These are basic human rights that our families and children are asking for and deserve.

Our home, Kent County, is thriving because we see the potential in all our residents, especially the youngest ones.

Thank you for supporting our work and believing in the power of the future. A future where all children are healthy and successful.
