Moving, bouncing, climbing, tumbling…toddlers are on the go!  Our environment encourages the on-the-move toddler to engage and explore, climb a soft structure, push a stroller or cart, build a tower, and then retreat to a soft lap for an encouraging hug or comforting story.  The toddlers find a balance of room for moving and waddling in addition to areas designed to attract their attention to language, thinking, balancing, sorting, creating and learning through their senses.  The toddler curriculum builds upon the infant program, to add activity centers where children can move, build, read and create.  It provides an array of experiences, based on the latest brain research, that encourages growth and development of language, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, cognitive skills, and social/emotional skills.  All are disguised in routines and fun that delights the toddlers.

Energetic and curious, two-year-olds are ready to move, explore, and learn new skills! At Stepping Stones Academy, we provide a space filled with learning centers, climbers for motor development, and hands-on materials that encourage discovery. We also introduce potty training and early handwriting skills, using the ABCJesusLovesMe™ curriculum to support fine motor skills and spiritual growth. With plenty of opportunities for play and learning, your child will thrive as they explore, challenge, and grow toward greater independence every day!

Our 3- and 4-year-old class prepares children for PreK with a fun, educational mix of challenges and nurturing care.

Children develop handwriting, reading, and problem-solving abilities in an environment that attracts and engages them. Our caring staff offers individualized attention, recognizing that every child grows and learns at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, hugs, and encouragement. At Stepping Stones Academy, we are committed to helping your child explore, grow, and create, building a strong foundation for their future success!
