Great center, just remodeled and is very child friendly. We liked the small groups in the infant rooms and teachers who know their stuff. My daughter who went through KR could read when she went to Kindergarten. Love the teachers at Stepping Stones both of the girls had some of the same teachers, which means a lot as staff seams very happy. We were there 6years and 9 months years total with both girls, some families had been there 9 years+. My only wish is they opened at 6:30, but reworking our schedules to come at 7 was well worth it for our family.
we switched to Stepping Stones a few years ago. Teachers and Management are welcoming, kind and top notch! Our kids have been in infant - preschool and we have always had outstanding care. we were happy we got into the infant room because there is usually a waiting list. We recommend to all our friends and neighbors.

both kids love stepping stones! The LANA and farm to preschool activities are amazing. Highly recommend the center
Wonderful child care and preschool. Ms Sara and Mr Aaron are great to work with and answer all our questions. All 3 children loved it!
Installations are great and it feels like a secure place. However, I have been dissapointed with the staff in the infant room. Many times my child has been there just with the assistant teachers, and there is not communication about what infants are doing during the day. They do give you a daily report, but I would have loved to receive a more detailed and specific information about activities/ curriculum they have done with my child ( what are the books they are reading, the games, songs,...etc), and what things have my child accomplished. One big incovenience of this place is that they open at 7:00, and teachers arrive at the same time too. Many times I had to wait for 5-10 minutes for the teacher to drop her bag, take her coat, and organize her things so that she can take care of my child. 5-10 minutes when you are in a rush and already late to work is a problem. They should open at 6:30 like the most of the daycare, or at least make sure their staff start their work at 6:45 so that they are 100% ready to receive children at 7:00.
One last suggestion, would you please put some kind of table close to the closet where the carseats are so that parents can easily accommodate their children in the carseat? It is a pain to have to bend to the floor everyday to do that.
