Welcome to Stepping Stones!

We're very excited about our school theme this year entitled, "It's a Small World." In this day and age, global travel and communications require that we and our children have an appreciation and understanding of people from different countries and cultures. Pack your bags and join us; as we navigate our way from around the world!

If you would like to learn more about Stepping Stones Preschool, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to take you on a tour and show you our fantastic program.

Our Vision
A Place to Belong
We believe each person is a child of God, and therefore worthy of love, acceptance, and encouragement. We seek to provide a place where the nurturing of children is of the highest calling.

A Place to Become
We believe we are made in the image of God and given the capacity to create. We seek to provide to all children opportunities for their cognitive, social, emotional, physical, creative, and spiritual growth.

A Place to Make a Difference
We believe that God's love is given freely to all of us. We seek to build a staff that is valued for their commitment to children, and a community where parents of all cultural, ethic, and economic backgrounds are embraced for their uniqueness in our world.
