I love this daycare! My daughter has been coming for 3 years, starting around 4 months old. I definitely trust the staff. They are friendly, caring and amazing staff! My daughter loves them. My child has learned so much as well. Communication is good, they have an app where they send daily reports & pictures of your child of what they are doing. I enjoy the monthly activities they have for all the children. I would recommend this daycare for other parents. Thank you stepping stones!
GlendaJun 9, 2026Great daycare!!! I know the activities my child is doing, what foods they eat, when and how long the naps are. I love receiving pictures throughout the day. The teachers are the main reason I will continue to bring my child here, they create a safe, welcoming environment, they are kind, understanding and patient. Thank you!
Itzel CJan 21, 2025Great daycare! My son goes here and he is always happy to see his teachers. Runs in happy in the morning and leaves with a smile. Great communication between parent and staff, daily written updates on your child (meals / activities / potty / health) through an app for more peace of mind.
JoeyFeb 17, 2023My son has been in this Daycare for over a year and he loves it. He felt welcomed since day 1 and me as a parent felt like he was in good hands. My son has grown to have great friends, has learned a lot and enjoys going everyday. Staff is great and very nice. I like the activities that the children do and how they are treated.
Yuri JacoboSep 15, 2022Very patient with kids, WARM Welcoming spirit, i would recommend this daycare for anyone, my kids love this place, they teach a lot of things to them, I love the way they treat them, since day 1 the owner make a bundle with my son, she is a very caring person ❤️ I'm so grateful with them.
raquel guerraSep 15, 2022I love stepping stones so much, I know what my daughter is eating, learning, and exactly how long she naps. They leave no room for questions because you know exactly what’s going on. Everyday she is learning something and it’s not just babysitting which is what I longed for after changing from a different daycare. All the teachers are kind and respectful they are bilingual which is another big factor in my decision to enroll my daughter here. I recommend it to anyone looking for quality childcare. Ms.Y is an amazing teacher and I couldn’t ask for better.
