History of Step4
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 in manufacturing commercial and school furniture, the knowledge Dan brought to product development for early learning services was unrivalled. Combined with a growing team of passionate educational professionals, this is how Step4 has grown to be a fundamental partner for early learning centres across Australia.
