The instruction was excellent, and we had such a great time learning how to visualize and then implement that vision with the paintbrush. I only wish we would've booked two hours instead of 90 minutes to spend a little more time on the details. I highly recommend Valerie and her team for your private event, or for just plain fun. What a blast we had!

We loved that concept but understand it wasn't as busy as it absolutely should have been. Such a gem. Anyway, we were late sign ups for this session and attended 4 classes and one bonus thanksgiving week one. My kiddo is 2 and she has so much fun here. Each week they have a theme like "going to the farm" and "transportation" and set up stations through out the house that apply to it. It feels very "kid-led" in the best way. She can decide when she wants to work on her canvas that they create through the session, or if she wants to work on a science experiment, play with lights, etc. There is so much sensory play activities and I love how it's okay to get messy and learn at the same time. The outdoor space is super fun. There is a large wall the kids can paint on. Lots of stations that encourage them to use their imaginations. We love the mud kitchen and the little "store" set up. Lots of time was spent on the pretend phone taking orders. We live in the Tarrytown area so it's a little bit of a drive but 100% worth it. There are such few places that invite toddlers in and lead the way. The next session starts in January and we are really trying to make it work the preschool schedule and nap times.

Our toddler was not provided support across 3 weeks of coming in as a new child in a toddler class…read more The teacher Ms. Marissa was deeply disengaged and used to address this 4 year olds classroom As a 10th grade class mostly sitting at one spot. Our child also had no reports provided for any incidents and for three consecutive days the work sent from school was a scribbled boat/heart etc. which talks about a phenomenon of checkbox teaching. Our child otherwise can trace all letters of the alphabet - use scissors - paint and talk fluently. In these three weeks we saw a clear regression. Management is somehow not concerned about this kind of classroom mismanagement - In fact we were told that the teacher is extremely good and provided all praise in the orientation. The motto of play to learn is used more for marketing and less for real learning. If you are looking for purely childcare and your child is happy with the play with no kids pushing them around(which was communicated to us by our child multiple time and we asked for any incidents - zero reports - only response we got was "he was good"), you can go here. If you want proper child education with empathy - last place to go if you have a 4 year old toddler. Our little one who is 1.5 had an amazing time and that classroom was actually doing and effective job so I would conclude by saying that the management and the specific teacher is our primary concern. After we complained to the district head - suddenly our child was promoted to ms.Terry's class and started getting all the things promised in the previous class and the tone of management completely changed. Avoid if possible. Don't recommend.

An update! My son…read more**really** enjoyed his preK class with Ms Alicia. He adores her and she really has his best interest at heart. I saw first hand how she is able to tend to children based on their own particular needs and how she wants them to learn and grow in her care. My son is on his second day of kindergarten, though he is in Stepping Stone's after school program. As soon as I picked him up from his first day in the after school program, he wanted to go see Ms Alicia. I can't fully express how much Stepping Stone influenced our family in a very positive way, made my son happier about going to preK - so much so that he was sometimes sad when it was the weekend and he wouldn't see Alicia or his friends. Over the summer, he took swimming lessons with Stepping Stone and he learned SO much. I really enjoyed all of his artwork and how prepared he is for kindergarten. Ms Alicia really helped us prepare him for school - both academically and socially. I cannot say enough good things about our experience in Ms Alicia's class. The front office staff is kind and I always enjoy seeing them in the morning. Ms Connie is very kind and I'm certain we will enjoy Brodie's time in the after school program, where he is dropped off and picked up from school and is offered play time after school as well as homework time.
