School Age

Overview

Funsteps is dedicated to the development, education and care of school age children during their out-of-school hours. Funsteps provides an environment for school age children to relax, enjoy the company of their friends, release some energy and unwind from their regular school day.

Funsteps Preschool and Childcare Center is located in the Christina School District and has district transportation to and from WILSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND NEWARK CHARTER SCHOOL. If your child attends an alternate elementary school, transportation would need to be provided.

The large and cheery school age classroom is a safe place for school agers to learn and play. A wide range of interesting, enriching, and age appropriate materials are available for them to access providing children with daily opportunities to explore their creativity and foster and discover their unique abilities and interests.
