History
Established in 1979.
Stepping Stone School began in 1979 at 1710 Richcreek Drive and continues to deliver the highest quality in early care and education to this day after nearly four decades.
Rhonda Paver, MA and William Paver, Ph.D founded Stepping Stone School with a motivation to provide a higher standard of care for their own children. Nearly 40 years later, Stepping Stone School continues to be locally owned and managed by the Paver family with 20 early care and education campuses in Central Texas.
Stepping Stone School consistently exercises their philanthropic commitment to the community through donations to organizations whose missions are to better the lives and education of our children and families.
Meet the Business Owner: Rhonda P.
Rhonda Paver and her husband Bill moved to Austin in 1979. Discouraged by the lack of quality child care, Rhonda started her own school to give other parents the same level of care that she gave her own children. The core philosophy was based on earning the trust of parents, who soon found Stepping Stone School a solid bridge between work and home. As the number of schools expanded, Rhonda went to great lengths to ensure that her rigorous standards were not diminished by the expansion. Today, the Stepping Stone training program and Quality Review system are at the cutting edge of the Early Care and Education field. The same values that Rhonda believed in at the beginning - the value of each and every child as a unique human being; the commitment to nurturing all children physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially; and the assurance to parents that their children are safe, secure and loved - are still at the very heart of the organization.
