meet the director

Brenda Manning

Hello! My name is Brenda Manning, and I'm honored to serve as the director of Small Steps Academy. As a mother of three, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting and the importance of finding a trusted, nurturing environment for your children to grow and thrive.

With over 20 years of experience in childcare and a deep passion for working with children, I have dedicated my life to fostering their development and supporting families. Outside of the center, I'm actively involved in my church's children's ministry, where I continue to cultivate a love for learning and community in young hearts.

I look forward to partnering with you to provide the best possible care and opportunities for your child!
