We love Stepping Stones! Our child has been enrolled there since he was 4 months old and we have had nothing but an amazing experience since. We love that it’s a curriculum-based program and have confidence our child is learning all day. We also love all the extra opportunities that are provided to the students and families, including picture day, soccer, field trips, grandparent celebrations. They are amazing at keeping parents updated throughout the day and constantly send pictures. The staff is lovely, and so trustworthy. You can tell they love every single child like their own! I recommend Stepping Stones to everyone I can.

Stepping Stones is the BEST! My two children (ages 2 & 4) have been attending for a year now. The entire staff is so caring, hard working and excellent with the kids. We love that it is a curriculum based program, and our kids love going to “school” and learning new things every day. We are so lucky to have such reliable and affordable care for our children. Dr. Naveeda and the entire staff do a wonderful job to make it more than a daycare, they make it feel like family! We would definitely recommend Stepping Stones to any family in the area. Thank you for all you do! 😁

We have had a wonderful experience with Stepping Stones. We have been sending our children for two years and have seen our two children continue to learn and grow in the infant and Two’s rooms. Stepping Stones has been a great fit for us for many reasons: the teachers love our kids, they include family in events throughout the year to build community, our girls love going, and they were flexible with our schedule (as parents working in health care/first responder). We would recommend Stepping Stones to other families!

My 2 boys have been attending here for about 2 years. We’ve had a positive experience in the different classrooms they’ve moved through. They offer parent teacher conferences each year, offer different sports throughout the year in collaboration with different organizations (soccer, karate), have a family picnic each year, and also do fun events like grandparents day. My kids always leave with a smile on their face and talk highly of the friends they’ve made. They are very reasonably priced and we’ve enjoyed our experience here!

We love Stepping Stones! Our very active and expressive toddler absolutely loves attending here 2x a week. He excitedly talks about his teachers and classmates and lights up when we talk about going to SS. There is a great structure to the day (even in the toddler room) so I know he is learning and playing and growing here. I feel confident that he is in great hands, and feels loved and safe when he's at Stepping Stones!!

We have been loving Stepping Stones this past year for our two kids (infant and 2 yrs).

Why we chose stepping stones: affordable - when living in the city we attended bright horizons at a discount through corporate offerings. However, when adding kids and moving to the suburbs the price of childcare skyrocketed. Stepping stones was reasonably priced.

Flexible - Dr. Naveeda was able to match my family's part time childcare needs when many other centers could not

Nice class rooms- I liked the size of the classrooms and the outdoor spaces the kids had to play. The center is in close proximity to another big park and field so they often take trips during the day to do activites off campus.

Why we have stayed: My 2 year old loves it. Every teacher knows our kids. The center has a small family feel. They do creative things (grow their own garden and then make food from their garden for snack, help bake each other birthday cakes, field trips to splash park, and mystery guest readers), and my two year is always learning (yesterday she sung me an entire song is spanish)

Finally the center asks for family input which I appreciate as they are continuing to grow. Having family input is important when you are entrusting your kids to others

Great school. We love the program director and all the teachers. They treat my kids like their own, they are very attentive caring and kind. Would give 10 stars if I could!

We are so pleased with the care our daughter receives at Stepping Stones Early Childhood Center. Dr. Naveeda is top notch and my daughter ADORES her teachers in the infant room, especially Miss Shazia. 🙂 I am so glad that we wound up here for daycare. The team is warm and welcoming, communicative, and was very comforting, patient, and compassionate during the tough transition to starting daycare. They helped us so much. I am a busy working mom and can work all day knowing my baby girl is in the best of hands. I highly recommend Stepping Stones.
