My son started attending in October 2025 in the Owls classroom, and from day one we have felt so supported, welcomed, and confident that he is truly cared for. The teachers are incredible -- attentive, nurturing, and deeply knowledgeable. Ms. Gina, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Heather, and Ms. Connie each bring such warmth, experience, and intention to their classrooms. It is clear how much thought and care goes into the curriculum, which is both engaging and developmentally appropriate. The play-based approach, small class sizes, and consistent structure create an environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. What stands out most is the strong sense of community. Stepping Stones genuinely feels like a family. The teachers take the time to know each child as an individual and communicate thoughtfully with parents, which has made such a difference for us. Our son has a speech delay, and since starting at Stepping Stones, we have seen remarkable growth. He is saying so many new words, engaging more with peers, and absolutely loves going to school. Seeing his confidence and joy increase has been incredibly meaningful for our family. In addition to the exceptional care and education, Stepping Stones offers **excellent value**. The pricing feels very fair for the level of attention, experience, and quality of programming provided, which can be hard to find. We truly feel we are getting so much more than we ever expected. We are incredibly grateful for the nurturing, supportive environment Stepping Stones provides and feel lucky to be part of this community. I would wholeheartedly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a loving, high-quality early childhood program.

She has friends there and the teachers teacher very well. Basic discipline is enforced and the kids definitely don't rule the teachers. I see no signs of crazy wokeness and politics is left at the door. Which is an absolute deal killer for us. The price is reasonable for the level of care the children get there. The security is also solid and the process of coming in and leaving with children is highly regulated. My sister and I feel very safe leaving her there. We both highly recommend this daycare/school.

I have looked long and hard for a good preschool, for both of my kids. I think it is very important…read morethat my kids are well taken care of and also that they are in a learning environment. I stumbled upon Inspiration Preschool and I immediately took my 3 year old son out of the school he was in and enrolled him at Inspiration. The staff is lovely, friendly, warm and inspiring. The setting is quaint, warm and bright. When you walk in, it is just a wonderful place to be, and you know it. After one week of being at this school, my son, who was not interested in learning his ABC's and 123's comes home singing every day. He is interested in learning and engaging, where, he was not before. When I pick him up at night, he doesn't want to leave. When he was at the other schools, he was crying before I even picked him up, every single day - and never wanted to go to school. Now, he gets up before ME in the morning, gets himself dressed, and lines up by the door... saying "Take me to school Mommy!" I am so thrilled to have found this wonderful school and my son will be here until he moves into Kindergarten. It has a family feeling and a very supportive culture. I could not be happier.

We went through 2 other daycare providers before we found Inspiration Preschool - an in home…read moredaycare and a nanny share - finally we can stop looking. Let's face it, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and no daycare is really going to be good enough for your first child. Or can it be? Inspiration Preschool answered that question with a resounding YES for us. As soon as we found IP and our daughter was old enough (must be at least 2.5 years old), we took her out of the nanny share and enrolled her at Inspiration. It's a small "school" with a nice backyard. I put school in quotes because really, it's daycare but very much in a learning environment. During the regular school year, each month is a different learning focus. For example, they focused on rainbows and colors in April, things that grow in May. There is a reading area, too, with tons of books to suit the ages of the children. The kids learn lots of songs, too. I was so pleasantly surprised when my daughter came home from school and taught me songs that they sung that day. They learn the alphabet, counting, days of the week, the calendar...the list goes on. So yeah, it's a "school", and my daughter gets good care, too. All of the staff is top notch. You can see the love and care they have for all of the kids on each teacher's face. Inspiration isn't just teachers, either. it's a community where parents not only know each teacher, but they know every child that goes there and every parent of those children. Everyone gets together on occasion through events put on by the school and/or other families. They even recently did a field trip to The Children's Museum! The main thing that I love about Inspiration is that the kids play outside, at least twice a day, EVERY day. It doesn't matter what the weather is (well, within reason of course), they go outside and expend that energy that only 2.5 - 5 year olds have in spades. The backyard is so conducive to this, too. There are 5 -7 different areas back there where the kids can get their play on. My favorite is the musical area that features pots & pans to make "music" with and a big chime set that the kids can hit with various kitchen utensils. My daughter now looks forward to school everyday that she goes, and even asks if she is going to school on weekends. When we pick her up, she doesn't want to leave. She's made some wonderful friends, too. So have her parents! Thanks, Inspiration Preschool!
