Child-Parent-Teacher

Begin: Ages 1 - 2

Between 12 and 24 months, children are gaining control of their bodies while building the foundations of curiosity, hands-on exploration, and independance. We cultivate a safe environment for children to walk steadily, climb safely, carry, and manipulate objects such as simple puzzles, toys and educational materials.

Nurture: Ages 2 - 4

This is the period of time where toddlers experience exponential growth, brain development and personality-related preferences. Our dedicated, caring educators engage the eager minds hungry for knowledge and exploration with sensory work, language, art, and simple mathematics to build a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning.

Prepare: Ages 4 - 6

At this age, children are brimming with confidence. They communicate complex ideas and preferences clearly, insist on independent exploration, and engage with the environment on their terms. Our program strengthens reading, writing, basic math, art and creativity to prepare children for Kindergarden and Grade School while fostering natural curiosity.

Cultivate: Ages 6 - 13

Children of this age are actively attending school, or are enrolled in a homeschooled curriculum. Stepping Stones Kids Academy provides after-school care with the goal to cultivate the knowledge attained during daytime learning, encouraging kids to explore concepts, hone their social-emotional growth, while supporting their classroom studies.

What Parents Are Saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stepping Stones truly felt like a second family to us. My daughter absolutely loved the food, which gave me so much peace of mind. The faculty was incredibly supportive and always there to guide us through the many challenges that come with raising a toddler. Their care, patience, and understanding made a real difference for our family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stepping Stones anytime.

Puja Sharma - Januray 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our kids have been attending Stepping Stones for over a year now and really love this school and all of the teachers. They are more than just a daycare, they are a learning center. The teachers take excellent care or our babies and truly care about our children's education and health. We highly recommend this school!

Sarah Stein - February 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Both my kids have been attending the stepping stones kids academy since last September. Both of them started showing great improvement after they started attending. My two year old son started saying so many words and my 5 year old daughter started writing, identifying letters. Grateful to the entire staff.
Also, the directors Ms. Lathika and Ms. Dharithri have been very flexible with us since day 1. When we are sometimes unable to send the kids on a scheduled day, they always let us send them on a different day instead. This flexibility means so much to us as busy parents.

Devindi Samarakkody - February 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ms. Shwetha is a wonderful Pre-K teacher. Thank you so much for your continued support. She always communicates with us about our child’s progress and behavior, which really helps us understand and support our child better. We truly appreciate her dedication and care.

Staff and management are very friendly and approachable. They focus on teaching basic academics as per children's age. Environment is clean and food is good too. Highly recommend this childcare facility.

Sugandha Baxi - March 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stepping Stones has been a lot more than a daycare for our 2 year old daughter. It is a home away from home. It took a while but me and my husband finally found this place for our daughter and we are extremely happy and satisfied. My daughter absolutely loves it there. Teachers and staffs are very caring and loving. Whenever I feel I need to talk to them about how my daughter is doing at the daycare they are always there to answer my questions and address my concerns. Every week they organize different activities for kids that includes both educational and play activities. Food menu includes variety of healthy options. Highly recommend this place.

Nupur Awarwal - December 2020

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My son goes to this school. i trust these women with my life. they are so sweet, caring, patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. i have had so many ups and downs with my job situations, and the staff is always understanding of my different schedules, and they encourage me to focus on that while they can just help take care of my baby. my son first cried when i dropped him off, but now he reaches out for them when i drop him off. i love these teachers so much
