An early childhood education centre is taking big strides to support those taking little steps.
Stratford early childhood education centre Little Steps, owned by Wendy and Mark Hinton, opens in January.
Wendy says opening the centre has been a family effort.
"Every one in my family has helped make this come to life."
The early childhood education centre will offer an after-school care room in the front and in the back, there are different classrooms for the pre-school area.
