"First Step is the coolest, most challenging, most interesting, most stressful and most important part of my life. I have often thought why I am still here..for so many years.. The answer is in the eyes of our children and their parents. That gives us strength and refills our drained energy. This is a universe that is settled by wonderful people and everybody who comes here becomes the part of this universe. At First Step every day is a first step".
