Your Child. Our Program. Their Success.

Dear Families,

My name is Theresa DiMaggio and I am overjoyed to be the Director of Steps to Success V. I have been a part of the Steps family since February of 2009. I was first hired as a pre-k teacher and continued working at Steps to Success II on Staten Island for the next four years. I was then promoted to manager at the Voorhies Avenue location and continued learning and growing for four additional years. The time came when I was asked to be partner and director of Steps V and I wholeheartedly accepted.

Steps to Success is one big family and has been part of my own family for the past fifteen years. I have been afforded the opportunity to grow with this company, to help sculpt some parts and to let my creativity flourish while working with some wonderful individuals that I am honored to call my friends. My daughter started attending Steps at two years old, attended our Afterschool Program and now my second daughter attends our daycare program. Therefore, I have not only seen this business from a teacher’s point of view, a manager’s point of view, but also through the eyes of a parent. I am grateful for climbing this ladder as it allowed me to see aspects of our business that could improve, change or what worked perfectly! It also allowed me to fully understand and appreciate what every parent goes through as they send their child off to preschool and allow someone else to care for their child. I want to ensure all of my families that your children will be treated as my own would, while they are in my care.

I am a huge proponent of communication and believe that any problem can be solved through understanding, compassion and a willingness to find a solution. My door will forever be open and there will always be an ear to listen when there is a question or a concern. I look forward to this journey with all of you while creating wonderful new memories with our Steps V Family. “If we all could see the world through the eyes of a child we would see the magic in everything,” I truly hope to make their time with me at Steps to Success V magical!

Warmest Regards,
Theresa DiMaggio
