STEP-AHEAD ACADEMY, INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Step Ahead Academy is a family owned and operated Preschool and Child Care Center located at 308 East 124th Avenue, directly across the street from Miles Elementary school in North Tampa. In a home-like setting surrounded by three large playgrounds and huge shade trees, we opened our doors in 1989 with a goal to make a positive difference in the life of every child. Our team of caregivers is dedicated to providing a warm and stimulating environment where children are free to thrive and grow as individuals. Our purpose is to encourage children to explore and develop at their own pace, to help them achieve early learning successes each and every day, and to help them build a positive self image. Our goal is to have self-confident children who LOVE to learn! Teachers at Step Ahead Academy are certified in the latest safety, first aid, and CPR training. They also take continuing education classes every year in order to keep up with the latest educational advances and techniques. The majority of our teachers have been with us for many years now. Indeed, many of them have had the privilege of watching our Step Ahead children grow up from infants all the way to their first day of grade school and beyond. And many of our first children, who now have children of their own, honor us by bringing their children to Step Ahead Academy! Our Director, Susan Willis, has been with Step Ahead Academy for over 21 years! Over the years, Sue has watched many of our children grow into young adults, and she stays in touch with many of them to this day. With plenty of love to go around, Sue considers our Step Ahead family to be an extension of her own family, and Step Ahead Academy her home away from home! Welcome to Step Ahead Academy At Step Ahead Academy, our goal is to help children develop an early love of learning, to enhance their abilities, and to help them grow to their fullest potential. Our role as care givers is to facilitate and guide children through the learning and discovery process.
