Stepping Stone School

its just ok. my kids were there for like 2 years total. its loud and chaotic. extremely small rooms. the infant room is the worst! small, too many babies, my kid was sick nonstop. i moved my son to a new school and he hasn’t been sick once in 6 months now. snippy teachers, their «chef prepared» food is a joke. I took my own. location is a plus. playground is a plus. everything else, meh.

My son attends the Stepping Stone after school and day camp programs, three years and counting. As a mother I have the utmost faith in this team, Cherie leads an amazing staff.
I was shocked to read an earlier negative review, I truly believe everyone at this location is colour blind. The children are valued, loved and encouraged irrespective of creed or colour. Children here thrive, it’s a positive, nurturing environment, children are treated as individuals and shown love and respect. No two children are identical in character or temperament and Stepping Stones recognises that. Teachers like Eric, Megan, Taryn, Leanne, Frances, Calynn and others strive to bring out the best in the kids. In the evenings you’ll see the parents waiting to drag their children away from the playground, a book or a game of chess — children here matter and it shows. It’s a happy place. The curriculum engages children of all abilities, my child tested several grades ahead at school and at Stepping Stones he is engaged intellectually and treated with great kindness and care. We are moving home over the summer, but I’ll be driving the extra few miles to ensure that my child is able to attend summer camp at this location. As a work outside the home mother I never need to feel guilty about leaving my child at Stepping Stones, children aren’t an afterthought here, it’s a great place and my child is surrounded by good people. As a parent I’m thankful for this team.

My 3 year old son has been going to this Stepping Stone for 6 months. This was his first time in daycare, so I was very nervous that he would not adjust well to a structured environment. Within a few weeks, he was asking to go to «school» on weekends. He loves his teacher, Heather, and especially one of her back-​ups — Ms. April (whom I’m pretty sure he has a little crush on).
I’ve recommended them to all my neighbors already!

This specific Stepping Stone School location is awesome! My kids, 8 year old boy and 5 year old daughter, have attended this daycare for the past two summers. The staff is lovely. They work well with kids of all ages. My two children wake up excited each day because they know they are going to Stepping Stone. My kids talk about what they have learned and how much fun they have had each afternoon when I pick them up. I am blessed to have found such a wonderful place for my kids to stay while I am at work.
