LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Infants

Our Infant room is designed to foster bonds and relationships with teachers and other babies while incorporating American Sign Language, music, and gross motor activities. Infants at Stepping Stones Learning Center know they are safe and loved as they develop social, cognitive, and motor skills in a home-like setting.

Toddler

Our Toddlers eagerly enter their room with smiles, toddling to their teachers and peers. Daily activities include American Sign Language, music, outdoor experiences, motor and muscle activities, sensorial experiences, and more. Toddlers follow a monthly umbrella theme and weekly sub-themes that enhance their academic skills while nurturing their social-emotional development.

Jr. Preschool

In the Jr. Preschool room, children begin to work towards common goals using The Blend curriculum. Children enjoy small group lessons, outdoor classrooms, and child choice time, utilizing strategically enhanced centers and experiences that blend social-emotional growth, academic achievements, and weekly sub-themes.

Preschool

Using The Blend curriculum and state standards, children ages 3–4 years follow an academic rotation that includes arts, math, science, and language while working in small groups for individualized learning. Through our unique approach, children enhance their learning goals through play and smaller classroom ratios. In addition to monthly academic goals, preschoolers learn character development, gain confidence through life skills activities, and enjoy Spanish lessons.

Four

Children in Private Pre-Kindergarten follow a small group rotation working on kindergarten standards, featuring an artist of the month, a monthly theme, and weekly sub-themes. Pre-K children enhance their math, science, and language development in the classroom, outdoor areas, gardens, and more. During child choice opportunities, children can choose from Montessori lessons, creative center play, or natural experiences.
