Locations


Footsteps Child Care, Inc. operates six programs in Belmont and Redwood Shores, serving approximately 450 children in total. Each location serves a different age group, from infants and toddlers through middle school. Our programs operate year round, with full day programming for infants/toddlers/pre-school and before and after school, vacation and holiday programming for elementary and middle school. We offer tuition assistance through our fee subsidy program, up to 75% for qualifying families.

Our mission at Footsteps Child Care is to provide infants, children, youth and their families with quality programs in a safe, nurturing and enriching environment, through caring and professional staff and family involvement.

We believe children learn and master new skills through a variety of play experiences. We support and enhance the school day by providing and creating opportunities for children and youth to learn and experience new things through physical activity, social experience, hands-on participatory activity and choice.
