Choosing Stepping Stones has been the best decision! Stepping Stones is our child’s 2 nd home. Our daughter loves school and has been going here since before she could walk. We love all of the extra activities, such as ballet, music, and Spanish. I feel good about Stepping Stone’s management team because they are mothers. I feel we share a common bond in that we want the best for our children. Upon entering Stepping Stones, I always hear, “Good morning,” or, “Good afternoon.” I always see a smile on the faces of the teachers. It makes me feel comfortable leaving my daughter at Stepping Stones. I love the daily notes that we get concerning our child. It shows that not only the teachers interact with her, but now our daughter interacts with them, too. The age-appropriate activities are over and beyond! I love that my child has the chance to participate in field trips, too. Children learn so much from these experiences! Stepping Stones is a very clean, well-maintained, beautiful facility! I don’t ever notice bad odors. My child’s favorite activity is ballet. She also enjoys the splash pad. I love all of Stepping Stones’ staff members. I tell others how much we love Stepping Stones, and more so, my daughter loves it. She is up before we are getting ready for school. I think the “Value for Price Paid” is great! Especially with all the extras that you get in the price, i.e., Painter’s Palette, Cooking with Super Chef, Nuevos Amigos, Noah’s Ark Bible Study, and Yoga Kids. We also love that Parents’ Night Out (open to the public) is once a month. We have that date as “our time” to connect. We do not have family nearby to help out, so Stepping Stones is a blessing to us!!! “I feel that it takes a village to raise a child, I feel blessed that Stepping Stones has been a part of our village!” - Anabel H.’s mom

Stepping Stones’ staff and teachers have always been sweet and loving with all of the children. My daughter is always amazing me with the words and skills she learns at school. I love that she like to count and say ABC’s on her own. Her teacher always goes out of her way to leave me notes about my daughter’s day, and she spends as much time as necessary talking with me about any concerns I may have. I feel the level of care and attention my child receives is greater than she would get elsewhere. When speaking of Stepping Stones to others, I emphasize how well my child is looked after and how loving the teachers are with her. I also tell them that the structure of the rooms and curriculum make the experience more school-like and controlled as opposed to the managed chaos of day cares. I have always felt that the cost was well-worth the level of care my daughter receives at Stepping Stones. –Caroline G.’s mom

I am constantly amazed at the things my daughter has learned to do through Stepping Stones. I tell my child, “Okay, let’s go to school,” in the morning, and she runs to the car. She loves circle time and books! My child’s teachers have always been willing to help. They have been very diligent in regular communication with parents. Rather than just “baby-sitting,” Stepping Stones follows a set curriculum that incorporates research into the activities utilizing the findings (ex.: baby sign language). We are very happy at Stepping Stones and wouldn’t want our daughter anywhere else! -Isabella B.’s mom
