Little Sky Steps is the first parenting app for ages 1-4 that turns proven toddler development science and moments of everyday play into lifelong skill-building opportunities. Our platform distills complex research into a fun and personalized journey for your family. By taking everything you already know about your toddler and distilling that knowledge into 10,000+ data points, we help you turn the beautiful chaos of toddlerhood into meaningful developmental moments. GETTING STARTED You can download Little Sky Steps and take our initial 30-question assessment to receive a complimentary Developmental Spotlight and your first free personalized activity. Please note: Access to our full suite of features (Ask Sky, daily Personalized Play, your Parenting Playbook, and ongoing Developmental Snapshots) requires an active subscription. MEET THE FOUNDER Little Sky Steps was built by Jessica Teicher, an Ivy League researcher who is not just any toddler mom. With an MA and EdM from Columbia University and 20 years of experience in early childhood development, Jessica created this platform to help parents navigate the reality of raising a toddler. She understands that while textbooks are essential, they do not always stand a chance against a toddler demanding mismatched shoes. HOW LITTLE SKY STEPS SUPPORTS YOU (Subscription Required): • ASK SKY: Get 24/7 expert guidance for every "what now?" moment. From the "Pants War" to the "Broken Banana Meltdown," Sky provides non-judgmental and real-time answers tailored to your toddler’s distinct personality. • PERSONALIZED PLAY: Skip the prep and the scrolling. Receive 10-minute activities curated for your toddler’s specific temperament and interests. • YOUR PARENTING PLAYBOOK: Access a library of expert-led resources designed to help you unlock the magic of the toddler years. Gain a deeper understanding of your toddler's developing brain, foster a lifelong growth mindset, and learn how to nurture the potential within these critical early years. • DEVELOPMENTAL SNAPSHOTS: Go beyond basic checklists with AI-powered growth reports that evolve with your toddler. We keep up with your ever-growing toddler through weekly check-ins and comprehensive developmental assessments every 2-3 months. Use our Predictive Insights to discover "Hidden Strengths" and celebrate Milestone Magic across 5 key domains: Fine Motor, Cognitive, Social, Language, and Gross Motor.
