I am beyond pleased with Stepping Stone School! My daughter has attended since she was just six…read moreweeks old and is now two years old, and it truly speaks volumes that the majority of her teachers from earlier classrooms are still there. Every morning when we walk in, my daughter is greeted with so much love from Miss Emily. They even talk about Miss Emily's four cats, which always brings a smile to my daughter's face and makes her feel so comfortable and connected. Throughout the day, Mrs. Chelsie often stops by her classroom to visit, take pictures, and share updates with me, which means so much. As a single mom and a natural worrier, having that consistent communication gives me such peace of mind. I genuinely have no worries when my daughter is at Stepping Stone. They truly treat us like family with daily updates, check-ins, and even phone calls when my daughter misses a day to make sure everything is okay. At Stepping Stone, my child is never forgotten and is always well cared for by every teacher she encounters. Mrs. Melissa has also left a lasting impression on my baby girl. Even after transitioning classrooms, she continues to check in on her, making sure she's doing well and thriving. I am incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication shown to my daughter and our family. Stepping Stone School is truly a special place.

If I could give fewer than one star, I would. This review reflects my personal experience as a…read morelongtime parent at this daycare and my opinion after several years of repeated concerns about safety, supervision, and communication. In my experience, supervision has often seemed inconsistent, and I have personally felt uneasy about how safety situations were handled. On one occasion, my child managed to leave the classroom area unnoticed, which was extremely upsetting. While staff responded once they were aware, I was left feeling that better safeguards were needed. During another incident a few years ago, I witnessed a staff disagreement that happened in front of families. It was very uncomfortable and left me questioning how well the administration manages staff and parent communication. In my opinion, classrooms often appear overcrowded and understaffed. I've observed one teacher overseeing a large group of children, and I've heard staff express frustration about not having enough help. Because of this, I've felt that my children weren't receiving the attention or care I would expect, especially given the cost of tuition. My younger child often came home needing a diaper change after long days, which made me concerned about how often he was being checked. Despite bringing this up with leadership multiple times, I didn't notice improvement. On another occasion, he was hurt while playing, and I felt that the follow-up communication could have been handled more carefully. I've also noticed several facility issues -- such as unlocked windows and peeling paint -- that made me uneasy. When I mentioned these to the director, I didn't feel confident that they were promptly addressed. Over the past year, I've been contacted by licensing agencies and have also reached out to the corporate office myself because I felt local leadership was not resolving issues effectively. In my opinion, the facility's priorities seem to focus more on image and parent reviews than on meaningful changes to support children and teachers. I was even asked to post a positive review, which made me uncomfortable given my experience. For a program that is among the most expensive in the area, I expected a safe, nurturing, and well-managed environment. Unfortunately, my personal experience has been the opposite -- disorganized classrooms, inconsistent supervision, and leadership that feels overwhelmed. Parents considering this center should, in my opinion, visit in person, ask questions about safety procedures and staffing, and make an informed decision based on what they see and feel comfortable with. I wish I had done the same much sooner.

I'm very torn on this review. First, let me say that the teachers were great to work with as well…read moreas Debbie (the owner). They really engaged with my son and worked with him well, showing their commitment and genuine interest in him. The reason for the bad review surrounds the Director, specifically. She was the complete opposite and seemed to have disdain towards my child. She seemed to peg him early on as a "bad kid" and made it apparent that she did not want to deal with him. She would roll her eyes when he arrived and was not pleasant or friendly. While there were definitely some behavioral concerns and things we (the owner, teachers, and I) were working on with my son, she had no interest in this whatsoever. Instead of contributing to an improvement plan, she simply presented it as "not her problem". I spoke with staff about this and they said they were unfortunately not surprised. Today was a tough day with my child being disruptive (talking during naptime) and I was called to pick him up. Her smirk was apparent when I arrived and she seemed very satisfied in informing me that my son was not welcome and they would give me up to two weeks to find somewhere else. I very kindly stated that I did not want my son to attend somewhere that he was not welcome, hoping to get a response that they would continue to treat him well/care/etc., to which she responded "oh ok then I'll just disenroll him today". So, apparently she has no desire to make children feel welcome. Her snide comments and remarks made this experience entirely unfortunate for me and my child, but again the teachers were wonderful and I will miss them greatly.
