What makes us different?

All About Relationships

At Footsteps By Faith, relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We build strong, trusting connections with each child and their family, creating a warm and welcoming environment where children feel safe, valued and ready to learn through meaningful interactions and consistent emotional support.

Qualified, Dedicated Team

With a mix of experience, professionalism and genuine care for our children, our qualified team continuously engages in reflective practice and ongoing learning to provide high-quality early childhood education tailored to the unique needs of every child in ours service.

Outcomes Focused

We’re committed to delivering real outcomes—not just ticking boxes. Every aspect of our program is designed to support your child’s social, emotional and cognitive growth, preparing them for school and beyond with the skills, values and confidence they need to thrive.

Hands-On Owner/Operators

Our service is run by Val and Dan, passionate owner/operators who are actively involved in the day-to-day care and education of every child. We are always present, approachable and deeply invested in your child’s wellbeing, offering a personal touch that larger centres simply can’t replicate.

Familiar Faces

Children thrive on consistency. At our centre, you’ll see the same smiling faces each day, building a sense of security and belonging. Low staff turnover means your child will form deep, lasting bonds with educators who truly know and understand their needs and personality.

Small Service

As a small, 46 place centre, we offer a calm, nurturing space where every child is seen and heard. Our lower ratios allow for individual attention, flexibility and a more intimate learning environment that helps children feel connected, confident, and at home.

What Our Families Have to Say

  • “Absolutely love this place! I found Footsteps just after we moved to the area almost 2 years ago. After a lengthy talk with the new owners about my kids, we had a tour and felt very at ease. My youngest is on the spectrum and we wanted to make sure their needs were catered for. Our previous childcare was a family/at home care service where we became part of the family and it was really important for us to have that carry on when we moved. Footsteps by faith has definitely cared for my kids like they are family! The kids are excited to go every day. Couldn't be happier with the service.”

    Natalie Rowan

  • "The staff at Footsteps by Faith go above and beyond. We have 2 children there and we couldn't be happier with the service provided. As a qualified specialist teacher myself, I am impressed with the effort and thought that goes into the planned activities, the learning environments, as well as the staff's interactions with children. "

    K.D.

  • “Being a first time parent, the team at Footsteps by Faith has been amazing as I have transitioned back to work. They are always welcoming to me and I am confident that my son is looked after by the staff like he is their family. My son has come so far in a short period and I can't wait to see what his preschool journey will bring him while we are at Footsteps.”

    Cailin Millen

  • “This is one of the most friendly, caring and accommodating childcare centres I have used. My children loved all their educators and were thoroughly engaged while being there. This year, we had to relocate overseas due to work opportunities. We very much wish we could have brought Footsteps with us.”

    Hollie Thorne

  • "I love picking up my grandson and seeing that he is always in a good mood. The team are lovely and always go above and beyond. I recommend Footsteps by Faith to anyone who needs childcare in Picton"
