About FirstSteps The FirstSteps Team is inspired by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential.

We are steadfastly committed to ongoing training and mentorship of our employees, always motivated to support the next generation of clinical leaders in our field and at FirstSteps. Our greatest reward is witnessing the rapid and joyful learning of our little ones and knowing that together, we are creating more happy days for the kids and families we serve. $23–$25/hr + Paid RBT Certification + Multiple $1/hr Growth Opportunities Love coaching, encouraging, and helping young kids build new skills?
