Description: Our mission is to provide a culturally diverse community that incorporates family involvement while providing developmentally appropriate learning that focuses on each child’s unique interest and experiences. Stepping Stones Pre-School uses the Arizona Department of Education State of standards for preschools to guide our curriculum and learning goals for the children.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
