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.
