Introduction OUR MISSION
Stepping Stone’s mission is to include trust, nurture, respect, and learning, as crucial elements to a quality early childhood program. Our team is committed to recognizing the development of each individual child with the support and communication of family and community.
Stepping Stone Believes…
-
Children are active learners using physical and social experiences to gain an understanding of the word they live in.
-
Play is an important part of a child’s learning impacting social, emotional, and cognitive development.
-
Children learn and develop best in surroundings where they feel valued, secure, and their physical needs are met.
-
Development and learning result from a combination of biological maturation and the environment.
-
Children’s development excels when given the opportunity to practice newly acquired skills as well as overcoming a challenge that is just beyond their reach.
-
Children are diverse in how they learn, understand, and express what they know.
