Anita Johnson

Lead Preschool Teacher & Site Administrator

My name is Anita Johnson, and I am delighted to work with your little one. I was both in and raised in a small town in Mississippi called Starkville. I had been back and forth to Cleveland for years just to visit. Finally, I decided to pick up everything and move here in 2010 on New Year’s Eve. I have a beautiful daughter who has been attending Early Steps from infancy. She is now in the School Age Program and enjoys every moment of it. 

I started working with children in 2003 during my junior year of high school and continued through my senior year. I went on to receive my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education from Meridian Community College. Altogether, I have been working with children for 15 years. Helping children is very rewarding. It’s fun and I learn from them every day as well. Children motivate me to be a better person.
