First Steps Online Payment Information - Effective 2026

Starting January 1, 2026, First Steps will be using a new electronic payment processor in order to lower our costs.  There is a little less flexibility with this system than with the previous system, but once set up it is simple to use.

We still recommend using ACH for recurring payments by offering a $10 per child per week discount when compared to cash or check.  Using a credit or debit card has a $5 per child per week discount when compared to cash or check.  If you have online checking for your account it will make setting it up much simpler.  If not, you can still set it up, it will just take an extra step of two for verification.  

Once you get things set up below, make sure to complete the final step of cancelling your payment on Pushpay.  This change should be made before January 20, 2026.
