"First Steps Preschool is a blessing to the Lodi Community. We have been so happy with the program's effect on our two children and look forward to sending our third child there. First Steps is a true Bible based preschool that provides not only moral training through Bible stories and songs, but also successfully prepares children academically for Kindergarten."  - Kevin and Krissy Knutson
