I don’t usually write reviews for places, but I am more than happy to attest that Stepping Stones is a great place to send your babies. I’m a rather anxious mom, so hunting for a new daycare solution is one of the most stressful things I’ve done. I wish my search had begun with Stepping Stones, because from the first moment I stepped in the front door, Katy, Jess, and the rest of the team have done everything in their power to not only take care of my babies, keeping them safe and teaching them, but also to work with our family to find a routine that works for us. We would 10/10 recommend Stepping Stones to anyone!
Carrie KeppnerJul 25, 2024I was super nervous to bring my almost 2 year old to daycare for the 1st time and the girls there made it such an easy transition. They send me and my fiancé up dates and pictures on how their day is going. We absolutely love that and it gives us such a huge peace of mind! We’re extremely happy with our decision choosing Stepping Stones ☺️
Breanna RJul 25, 2024My son attends Stepping Stones and I have nothing but positive things to say. When we first started the daycare search after moving to the area, we toured with quite a few local centers and had pause at each of them. However, when we toured here and met with Katy, we knew that this is where we wanted him to attend. Katy demonstrated knowledge about the entire center, answered every crazy question we had, and has a general demeanor and energy about her that exemplifies that she is a good human being. As my son has transitioned through two rooms now, we have had incredible experiences with Ms. Ashley, Ms. Amanda, Ms. Haley, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Allison, and Ms. Shelby. These women treat your children as their own and are so quick to go the extra mile and update you about their day. The app tracking your child’s day to day is so easy to navigate and frequently kept up to date. All the staff has been quite friendly and everyone seems to know the children as teachers that my son hasn’t had yet always engage with him by name. Additionally, the administration is quick to respond to any concerns you may have and you can have full faith and confidence that they will respond appropriately. They always make time for you and give you the floor should you have questions, comments, or concerns. This is a staff full of women who are quality humans to help raise your children with you. I highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and safe care for your children.
A Google UserJul 25, 2024I absolutely love this daycare!! The teachers there are so sweet and patient. My daughters are so welcome there and I can tell they are very loved there. I know they are in good hands when I drop them off. They also keep me up to date on everything going on throughout the day there! I highly recommend this daycare!
Kristin MathewsJul 25, 2024My two kids have attended Stepping Stones for the last two years and love it there!! They have made many good relationships with the teachers and kids there. We are always greeted with a smile when we walk in the door and I know the teachers truly care about my kids! I appreciate everything they do for my family!!
Nicole GinderJul 25, 2024Amazing daycare! My children loves it here! Stepping Stones provides a warm, nurturing, and educational environment for my children. The teachers are caring, attentive, and professional. They communicate clearly and keep us updated on our children's progress. Highly recommend!
