Steppingstones students discover that learning is fun and that
school is an exciting place to be. Our small teacher/child ratio
enables each child to progress at his/her own pace and to
benefit from the hands-on, exploratory nature of the programs.
The daily program includes indoor and outdoor free playtime,
individual and group learning experiences, child-initiated and
teacher-initiated activities. Our programs create a learning
environment that fosters individual creativity, builds self-esteem
and encourages children to respect themselves and others. The
staff facilitates the development of social skills and encourages
a sense of community while valuing the unique individuality of
each child.
The Steppingstones programs are designed to motivate,
challenge and instill a love for learning. The goal is to create
students who approach new situations with an “I can do it”
attitude; children whose uniqueness has been valued and who
know they are capable of success.
