Our Story
Welcome to Step4 – leaders of innovation & inspiration within the early education industry.
Step4 is proudly Australian owned and operated, supplying educational resources, furniture, and equipment Australia wide.
We believe every early learning centre across Australia deserves quality products and innovative design, that bring together functional, nurturing and creative spaces.
History of Step4
With a family business history dating back to 1969, Step4 was launched as part of the family business group in 2008 by Dan Kennard and his eldest daughter, Jessica, to meet the need for high-quality early learning environments.
With a background of manufacturing commercial and school furniture, the knowledge and competence Dan brought into the product development for early learning services was unrivalled. This, combined with a growing team of passionate educational professionals is how Step4 has grown to be a fundamental partner for early learning centres across Australia.
