Nurturing the Whole Child: More Than Just Academics

At Stepping Stones Academy, we believe in nurturing the whole child – physically, emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually. That’s why we’ve chosen the renowned Frog Street curriculum, a research-based program that fosters a love of learning, encourages exploration, and empowers children to reach their full potential.

Active Learning, Every Day: Inspiring Curiosity & Confidence

At Stepping Stones Academy, we believe in the power of hands-on learning. Our dynamic daily schedule includes engaging activities like circle time for building social skills, 60 minutes of gross motor play to keep bodies active, and daily STEM projects to spark curiosity. We also nurture a love for reading, encourage creativity through art, and foster self-expression with music. Older children even start their day with positive affirmations, setting the tone for a confident and joyful learning experience. Your child will be actively engaged and excited to learn every day at Stepping Stones!

Our 1:10 teacher-to-child ratio ensures each child receives both group interaction and individual guidance.

Individualized Attention, Optimal Growth: Nurturing Each Child at Their Own Pace

At Stepping Stones Academy, we understand that every child develops at their own unique pace. That’s why we maintain low child-to-teacher ratios, ensuring that each child receives the individualized attention and support they need to thrive. From our 1:4 ratio for infants to 1:5 for toddlers and 1:10 for preschoolers, your child will always have a caring adult close by to guide, encourage, and celebrate their milestones. We adapt our programs and activities to meet the specific developmental needs of each age group, fostering a love of learning and a sense of accomplishment in every child.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

My 2 year old and 4 month old both currently go here and I absolutely love their teachers. They are both great about updating the app, which is what I really appreciate. I am a super paranoid mom, and with how good they are about the app, and how good they are as a teachers, it puts me at peace during the day. I absolutely love Tiffany- one of the directors. She is so easy to talk to and has answered many of my obnoxious questions without ever acting annoyed with me. I love stepping stones academy!!!!

My daughter has been here for a year and I refer stepping stones to anyone who's looking for a good quality daycare. Tiffany has always put the children first and you can tell she runs this daycare with love. I feel comfortable leaving my daughter in the care of her staff whom are always respectful and committed to the care of your child. My daughter runs into daycare every morning and is always smiling when I come to get her.
