Our Philosophy

We believe that children experience the greatest growth when they feel secure and wanted. Therefore, we at Stepping Stones, thrive to provide a safe, loving and nurturing environment to help children achieve their milestones.

“Children are not things to be molded but are people to be unfolded.” - Nelson Mandela

We believe every child has a right to unfold at its own pace as every child is unique and special. We believe that these carefree years are far too short. We do not rush children through this fun filled time in their lives.
As educators, we believe that all children have a right to love and respect, regardless of their abilities. All children will be treated with gentleness, honesty and respect. We encourage them to treat others in the same manner.

Our Goal

As childcare providers, we know the anxiety that comes with leaving your child in someone else’s care and trusting them to provide the care that you know your child deserves. Our primary goal at Stepping Stones is to provide a safe, family-like environment for your child while you are at work through well-qualified, highly dedicated and experienced teachers who will work hand in hand with you to achieve our common goal i.e. to provide the best possible care for your child.

At Stepping Stones, we understand the importance of play in a child’s life. Our programs will provide safe and engaging environment for a child to learn and explore; and attain their all-round development in a play way manner which will foster effective learning, inculcate moral values and groom the child for the next stage of life. Our classrooms will cultivate an unbiased atmosphere that celebrates diversity of thought and culture.

“It’s not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It’s our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.” - L.R. Knost

Our family has had an incredible experience at Stepping Stones Academy. We enrolled at their new location in June 2021, at the height of COVID, and both our kids have thrived ever since. Our elder child (5) has been attending for over 3 years, and our younger one (3) has been there for 2 years.

Dharitri and Latika, the school’s directors, have treated us like extended family, ensuring our kids feel loved and cared for. They’ve always been open to feedback, adjusting classes when needed, such as moving our older child to an advanced class to better match her learning needs.

This is the most AMAZING childcare I have ever came across with. The teachers are so loving/positive/gentle and treat each child as their own and always go above and beyond to care for each child. The directors are not only kind/caring and thoughtful but always supportive and do what’s best for each child’s needs! My first impression of the school was sanitation, education, organization and structure was important to them. I was impressed with how children were being educated along with the amount of exposure to many different holidays and many fun events especially during the summer. My daughter has a rare syndrome and requires lots of help and everyone at the daycare helps with any challenges she comes across, helps her to learn and makes sure she keeps up with other kids her age which is more helpful than her therapist at times since it’s a daily routine. This daycare isn’t just a daycare but a learning center where my daughter is thriving! With her syndrome, I haven’t felt any stress watching her so excited to go to school, being educated, having many different experiences with cultures and food and the positive consistent experiences. We have been there for 4 years now and plan on staying as long as possible.

When the two Kindergarten teachers heard about Koan going to Stepping Stones, they both said ‘Oh it is a good preschool!’. Just wanted to pass this along. Obviously Redmond Elementary teachers knew about the good things of Stepping Stones !!

My daughter joined stepping stones 3 months ago because of her previous day care being short staffed and closing abruptly. We joined stepping stones because of a personal recommendation and we so grateful for the recommendation and this school. My daughter’s listening skills have improved, she eats better, she is more disciplined and she also has picked up so much vocabulary this past month. She loves her teachers and her directors and loves to wake up in the morning to go to school. Thank you stepping stones!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value

I can’t say enough good things about Stepping Stones. They have taken care of my twin nephews since they were 6 months old. You have never seen kids so happy to go to school! They treat all the kids like family. Their days are filled with arts and crafts, age appropriate lessons, lots of play time (inside and out – weather permitting), singing, dancing, delicious food. I wish I could stay there and send the kids to work! It’s never easy sending your precious babies off to be taken care of by someone else, but knowing that they are so happy to go and so well taken care of by such warm and loving people makes it that much easier.

Positive: Professionalism, Reliability, Responsiveness
My kid has been in stepping stone for a month now. Teachers here are very professional, caring and loving. My daughter enjoys her days there and she came back home happily everyday. Every afternoon when I pick up her, I saw the teachers clean and sanitize the classroom which is so important nowadays. The food menu is great and contains balanced nutritious food. The teachers send lots of pics and videos everyday to let us know what is going on and what did my daughter learn there. If you are looking for a daycare, this is definitely the one.
