A brief HISTORY of STEP TOGETHER

STEP TOGETHER first opened it's doors in September 2005 for just two days each week, employing part-time staff, to provide four "group sessions" of Conductive Education per week at a 'Day Centre' located in County Durham, enabling thirteen to receive Conductive Education at one of the four (weekly) sessions.

In November 2005 STEP TOGETHER became a division of THE CHILD CARE ACTION TRUST.

This "combining of forces" has enabled Step Together to expand rapidly, enabling The Child Care Action Trust to move from the original 'Day Centre' and to provide more sessions of Conductive Education per week for more children at  Step Together Centres located in County Durham and Tyne & Wear.

This expansion started with the full time appointment of Viktoria Kincses on 21st April 2006 as the Leading Conductor and Head of School at Step Together

The second stage of this expansion, on 21st August 2006, was the appointment of Kata Molnar as the second Conductor with Nicola Beresford as a Classroom Assistant.

These welcome new appointments coincided with the start of a two week Summer School and Step Together's move to larger premises, providing two much larger classrooms well in time for the start of the Autumn term.

In April 2008, The Child Care Action Trust opened a second Centre, located at South Shields, to provide for children living in the Tyne & Wear district who were unable to attend classes at our County Durham Centre because of the travelling time and distance.

In July 2008, The Child Care Action Trust Step Together Centre moved from the old wooden buildings at the rear of the Meadows School in Spennymoor to newly constructed office units at the Evans Business Centre in the Aycliffe Business Park, Newton Aycliffe.

The new units were already well equipped with disabled toilets and kitchen facilities.

The first Step Together classes at Newton Aycliffe being the 2008 Summer Schools weeks commencing Monday 21st & 28th July and weeks commencing Mondays 18th & 25th August.

Autumn term commenced on Monday 1st September 2008 at the new Newton Aycliffe Step Together Head Office.

At the end of 2009, after almost four years, building the reputation and respect of The Child Care Action Trust, Step Together Centres, Viktoria decided that 'her work was done' and it was time for her to move to the 'bright lights' of London.

In January 2010, Kata Molnar became the Senior Conductor and Kata was joined by two more qualified Hungarian Conductors. bringingthe total staff at the centres, by March 2010, to four qualified Hungarian Conductors and one English Clasrroom Assistant.

The "long term plan" is to secure "purpose built" premises for our  Centres with classrooms, hydro-therapy pool, staff rooms, library and offices as well as providing "Motel Style" accommodation for Hungarian Staff and for parents and children attend the Intensive Block Placements.

With the help of Kata and her staff, The Child Care Action Trust intends to make it's Step Together Centres  "Colleges of Excellence" to be envied in the world of Conductive Education.
