The First Steps PTO believes every young family should have an opportunity to participate in First Steps regardless of income. 

You can help make sure all interested families can join a supportive weekly class with important developmental activities and connections to other families.

Are you with us?

The First Steps Early Childhood Program strives to include all interested families by providing as many scholarships as possible. The First Steps PTO raises the funding to make that happen. This year we are delighted to announce a $2,000 match challenge for GivingTuesday. When you help us match these two generous donors, we can provide more than 60 families with scholarship support. Double your donation today!

In 2023 more than 125 families received a scholarship. Please help the First Steps PTO provide even more scholarship funding on behalf of this important program.

Words from participating families:

          "First Steps helps me to productively interact with my kids even on days when it feels really difficult for me."  

          "Classes provide structure and expectation in an otherwise uncertain time."

          "It's given me some good ideas for activities to do outside of class."

          "It was great to be around other babies, learn some new songs and be outside."

          "My daughter LOVED seeing everyone each week!"  

Your donation allows First Steps-Ann Arbor to provide high quality programming to all families and enables us to emerge from the pandemic challenges and serve our community for years to come. Every little bit truly makes a difference. 

We also need your help to let others know about First Steps and Giving Tuesday. Your recommendation is a powerful way of encouraging others to support us as well. Please share a link on your social media platforms and help others know about the program you love. 

Thank you for your support.
