Class Structure

Our Staff

Our director has been at Stepping Stone since it opened in 2004. Since then we have proudly graduated over 125 kids, equipping them with the skills they need to succeed in Kindergarten and beyond!

We have 6 classrooms at our center where your child will be provided nurturing educational experiences.

All new employees go through 10 hours of pre-service training
All staff complete 25+ hours of training annually and we exceed the requirements for employees required to pass CPR and First Aid

Finally, Stepping Stone provides a formal performance management program for all employees and an online training and a resource room for all tools necessary to enhance the development of the children.

Curriculum

Our activities are planned around your child’s individual needs, abilities, and interests. Because children learn through their senses and by moving, it may not look like school to you! Teachers use play experiences to help children learn skills and concepts. Activities encourage exploration, creativity and problem solving. The staff works with children to enhance their learning and development in all areas: social-emotional, physical, language/literacy, and intellectual.
