OVERVIEW


THE COMPANY

Stepping Stones Academy is a proud member of The Bright Ideas Family.  Joining their team in 2021, it is our goal to partner with The Bright Ideas company, while still staying the same Stepping Stones our community has known and loved since 2005.  The Stepping Stones objective is to provide your family with excellent childcare and education while also leaving you with peace of mind.

We encourage parental involvement and support throughout your child’s journey at the Academy. We value our partnership with you and in the education and development of your child. On behalf of the staff at Stepping Stones, we look forward to helping meet your family’s childcare needs now and in the future.

THE STUDENTS

At the Academy, success is defined on many different levels.  Whether it is by an infant learning to clap their hands to music, a toddler becoming potty trained, a 3 year old sounding out words for the first time, a Pre Kindergartner reading a story with pride, or a Kindergartner having the self-confidence to present many projects at school; we consider all of these success for each child.

Many of our “alumni” families return for visits and tell us that the love their child developed for learning while at the Academy, had prepared them for school with knowledge, self-confidence and pride in themselves.

Our local Elementary school teachers recognize when children have graduated from the Academy, it is not uncommon for them to be placed in the Gifted and Talented Program.

THE STAFF

From our skilled teachers to our administrators and chef… warm, responsive care coupled with a secure learning environment is our core vision.  Each staff member knows that the quality of relationships which your child experiences during their first 5 years of life have a deep and lasting impact on their future development, and that knowledge guides them every step of their day as they care for, enrich and teach your child.

OUR PHILOSOPHY, YOUR PEACE OF MIND

At Stepping Stones, we provide opportunities for your child to experience personal growth and academic excellence in an atmosphere of security and positive influence. It is well known that the most important years of a child’s cognitive development and learning patterns occur from infancy to age five. We offer an environment that fosters intellectual, social and physical growth.
