  It's hard to put into words just how grateful our family is for the last two years. As Journey gets ready to start TK, we're saying goodbye with hearts full of gratitude for the incredible love, patience, and care she received every single day. From the moment she started, we knew she was in a place where she was genuinely loved and supported. Watching her grow into the confident, curious little girl she is today has been such a gift, and we know so much of that is because of the amazing people who poured into her during these important early years. A special thank you to Ms.Valerie, Ms.Jasmyn, Ms.Rene, Ms.Veronica, Mrs.Nancy and Ms.Joelene. Each of them played such an important role in Journey's life, and we'll always be thankful for their kindness and encouragement they showed her. As parents, there's no greater comfort than dropping your child off each day knowing they're safe, happy, and surrounded by people who truly care. The communication and warmth at this daycare have been exceptional. Leaving is bittersweet, but we know Journey is prepared to start TK because of everything she has learned here. Thank you for everything you taught our little girl over the past two years. We will never forget the impact you've had on her, and we highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place where their child will be nurtured, encouraged, and truly cherished.

  Our family had such a wonderful experience with Stepping Stones Children’s Center. My 3-year-old attended for a year, and we were always impressed by how caring and attentive the staff were. Ms. Val was an incredible teacher who made my son feel comfortable and excited to go to school every day. He really bonded with her, and we appreciated how patient and warm she was with all the kids. Joelene, the director, was fantastic as well. She kept everything organized and always communicated clearly about any questions or updates. You can tell she is passionate about creating a positive environment for the children. Another big plus is that the tuition is very reasonable compared to other preschools in the area, and lunch is included, which was so convenient for our busy mornings. Overall, we’re so happy we chose Stepping Stones. It’s a safe, friendly place where our son learned so much and had a lot of fun. We highly recommend it to any parents looking for a great preschool experience.

  Amazing, Caring Daycare! My son absolutely loved going to this daycare, and as a parent, I couldn’t have been happier with the care they provided. The staff truly has so much love and care for each child, making every day a positive experience. My son would always light up with the biggest smile as soon as we pulled up to the daycare, which speaks volumes about how much he enjoyed being there. Unfortunately, we had to move, and leaving this daycare was one of the hardest parts of our transition. We were so sad to go, but I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and joyful environment for their child!

  My Daughter loves it here!!! The teachers honestly love and care for these kids so much. It has an amazing transformation to see my Daughter become so self reliant and eager to learn and do new stuff. You won't find a better school in SCV. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE

  My Daughter attended here for three years and it has been a wonderful experience. The teachers are kind, engaging and overall phenomenal people. I have worked in the field of Child Development and can say that Stepping Stones truly understands what is age appropriate and in the best interest of the kids and implements a stellar program. My daughter learned so much, had fun, and made wonderful memories. Thank you Stepping Stones for being so wonderful!

  I can't recommend this preschool enough! Watching my son thrive here over the past few years has been such a joy. The growth in his learning, confidence, and happiness is a true testament to the loving and nurturing environment the school provides. Every teacher here has been wonderful, showing genuine care and going above and beyond to create a welcoming space that feels like a second home to the kids. It's bittersweet to know that these are his last few months at the preschool. He's developed so much, thanks to their fantastic curriculum and the dedicated staff. I'm genuinely sad to leave this amazing community that has given us so many beautiful memories. If you're looking for a place where your child will be loved, learn a lot, and grow immensely, this is the school for you!
