Meet Our Mascot, Olin!
Otters are a natural part of the Pacific Northwest fauna, giving Olin an authentic connection to Stepping Stones Kids Academy's roots in the Seattle-Tacoma area.
Naturally Curious
Otters explore their surroundings through play, discovery and interaction—the same behaviors that drive early childhood learning. Olin represents a child’s instinct to ask questions, try something new and discover how the world works.
Play is How They Learn
Otters are famously playful, making them a natural representation of Stepping Stones’ Learn • Play • Grow philosophy. Olin helps communicate that learning and play aren’t separate experiences—they work together.
Social & Community-Oriented
Otters interact, play and communicate with one another, giving the mascot a natural connection to friendship, cooperation and belonging; all important parts of a child’s early development.
Made for Movement
An otter can climb, swim, explore, tumble and play, which givesOlin endless storytelling possibilities. He can read a book one day, jump across stepping stones the next, carry a backpack, investigate a leaf or celebrate a milestone!
