Utah’s Preschool Landscape—What Makes Ours Stand Out

If you’ve searched for a preschool in Utah recently, you already know: there are a lot of choices out there. From daycares with preschool hours to faith-based programs and academic-focused classrooms, it can feel overwhelming to know what’s best for your child.

So how do you choose?

At Little Steps Preschool, we’re proud to be part of Utah’s thriving early childhood education community—but we also know we’re a little different. Here’s what sets us apart:

1. We Lead with Developmentally Appropriate Practice

Some Utah preschools prioritize early academics like worksheets and desk work. At Little Steps, we believe kids learn best through play, movement, and hands-on discovery—not by sitting still for hours at a time.

We follow evidence-based practices that build real skills and spark curiosity.

2. We’re Independent—Not Institutional

Unlike corporate preschool chains or larger centers, our school is locally owned and operated. That means:

  • A smaller, family-style environment

  • Personalized care and attention

  • Real relationships with our teachers and leadership team

You’re not just a number here—you’re part of the Little Steps family.

3. We’re Part of a Creative Arts Community

Little Steps is part of Quickstep Dance Studio, and our location gives us a unique edge. We naturally integrate music, rhythm, movement, and storytelling into our day—and we know how to spark creativity in every child.

4. We Serve Families Who Want Flexibility

Some parents want a 5-day-a-week full-day program. Others just want a Friday-only option. We offer flexible scheduling to meet a wide variety of needs—without compromising on quality.

Our preschool is designed to support working families, part-time homeschoolers, and everyone in between.

5. We Know and Love Our Community

We’re proud to serve families in South Jordan, Draper, Sandy, and surrounding areas. Our program was created with local values in mind: kindness, inclusivity, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
