DEAR PARENTS

Thank you for considering Stepping Stones Academy for your early childcare needs. We are proud to offer a safe, healthy, and quality educational environment for your child. At Stepping Stones, we clearly understand that the different levels of development children pass through must coincide with changes in their care and education. That’s why children at the Academy are treated as individuals with specifically designed curriculum to match their developmental needs. Our program provides an environment that fosters academic growth, encourages expression of creativity, introduces social skills, and develops cognitive thinking each step of the way in their early years.

Our Academy believes strongly in the “Stepping Stones” approach of nurturing and education. This methodology encourages building on previously taught principles and values. Our staff of loving and experienced teachers showers attention on each child and works diligently to ensure a caring and quality educational experience.

At Stepping Stones, our 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.

Sincerely,
Susan Porter
Director

WHAT DISTINGUISHES US?

We know that when you are looking for a Preschool, there are many things that are important for your family.  Here at SSA, we want you to feel like this is your second home.  Hear the difference in our Staff as they speak with you about the classroom your child would be enrolled in.  See the difference in our classroom size, the lowest Staff:Child ratios in the area.  Feel the difference in your heart as you connect with our vision for loving and teaching your child.

MISSION STATEMENT

We pledge to make the world a better place through young children; to love every child in our care, to educate children in all four areas of development: physical, social, emotional, and intellectual; to build a solid reputation in the community for doing all the above.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe each child is unique and special with the potential to grow and learn.  Our developmentally-appropriate environment is designed to provide learning opportunities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and spontaneity.  These experiences are extended and enhanced through the guidance of our staff.

As child care professionals, we understand the importance of the formative early years of childhood. The valuable experience and opportunities for first-time achievements that are presented to young children lay the foundation for higher learning.

It is our objective to create a happy, warm and disciplined environment for our students.  Therefore, we will strive to teach manner, fairness, courtesy, and respect for others, while remaining constantly alert to the well-being of our students.
