Stepping Stones School

Stepping Stones Christian School places a strong emphasis on allowing children to build their knowledge based upon their experiences.
We believe that these experiences promote critical thinking, problem solving skills and self-esteem, all of which help them to nurture and discover their sense of self and ultimately preparing them for a successful future.
Our goal is to provide an environment and program consistent with the highest standards that will allow our students to develop to their maximum potential.
Our school values these precious years in each child's life and views this time as an essential stepping stone to their futures.
