Inexpensive

We provide a safe, clean, and nurturing space for your infant. A limit of 7 infants to 2 teachers assures that your baby gets the love and attention he or she needs throughout the day. For example, your newborn may be rocked to sleep at rest times and held while being fed. A large space ensures plenty of room for floor play, crawling, and tummy time, with attentive caregivers always nearby and available for lots of lap and face time!

Infant Care (8 weeks-15 months)

Our Toddler curriculum recognizes the individual needs of your child as they begin to explore the world around them. Teachers help with learning to share and using words to communicate. Your child will be eased into a more structured routine, with access to a variety of stimulating play opportunities and activities including art, books, and much more.

Toddler Program (15 months-2.9 years)

Based on weekly themes with daily projects and activities, our preschool program provides an increasing emphasis on education. Your child will participate in daily story time with sounds, word, and letter recognition activities that encourage reading readiness. Basic math and science are introduced through play, exploration, projects, and activities. All the while, your child will be learning the social and emotional skills needed to enter our Pre-K program.

Preschool Program (2.9-4 years)

Like our Preschool program, our Pre-K program is based on weekly themes. Your child will be provided with a rich curriculum that focuses on learning through play, hands-on activities, and role-playing opportunities. With more emphasis on preparing your child for their entry to Kindergarten, our program has well-defined goals to help ensure your child's success as they enter the educational mainstream. Combining learning and fun, SteppingStone's Pre-K curriculum includes phonics, simple math/science concepts, vocabulary exercises, and practice with writing skills.
