NEXT STePS LEARNING CENTER
Next Steps Learning Center is a state-licensed child care facility with four locations – Chaska, Chanhassen, Carver and Shakopee. Our facilities provide a safe, happy, high quality environment for Infant, Toddler, and Preschool children. Next Steps Learning Center is open Monday through Friday from 6:45 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Our facilities boast generous square footage for all classrooms, which enables children to feel comfortable to move freely throughout the day. In addition to the generous sized classrooms, our Center has an indoor gymnasium where children are able to express their energetic sides, exercise, and build upon their large motor skills in an indoor setting. The facility includes an on-site kitchen so hot lunches can be served at no extra charge. Nutritious snacks and lunches are served to contribute to the growth and development of happy, healthy children.
Next Steps Learning Center is locally and independently owned and operated. We are dedicated to ensuring that each child is well cared for in an enriching atmosphere where children are encouraged to explore the world around them through play and directed activities. Our program offers each child the individual care, attention and nurturing environment that is necessary for healthy growth. We value the individuality of each child by recognizing these differences and offering personal care and attention in a group setting. It is the goal of our staff to provide exemplary service for all families and to ensure that your child has an enjoyable and exciting time while in our care.
Located just off Highway 5 and Park Road, our central location makes our program convenient for families of Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Victoria and more! Our center is in a private cul-de-sac that provides natural views and privacy. Our secure building includes 7 spacious classrooms and a large gymnasium for indoor play. Our playgrounds are recently remodeled to include new equipment and clean, safe artificial turf.
Conveniently located at the corner of Chaska Boulevard and Audubon Road and operating since 2010, we have been a staple in the Chaska community for over 10 years. We serve families of Chaska, Carver, Victoria, Shakopee and beyond. Our updated center includes 9 classrooms and a spacious gymnasium. Our renovated playgrounds feature safe, fun, age appropriate equipment and artificial turf surfacing.
