Preparing Children for a Bright Tomorrow

All three of my children attended Stepping Stones for all 3 years (2's, 3's, and pre-k), as well as for camp. They all thrived and were extremely well-prepared for kindergarten. The environment at Stepping Stones and The Next Step is so positive - loving, enthusiastic, and cheerful. The teachers are young, energetic, and compassionate. The owners are wonderful as well - always checking in to make sure things are running smoothly! My youngest currently attends pre-k here, and our family will greatly miss Stepping Stones when he graduates next month. I am so happy that I chose Stepping Stones for my children's 1st learning environment!

I have been a proud member of the Stepping Stones family since my son started in the after school program at the age of 5. He absolutely loved the after school program so much that he has been enrolled in the summer camp for the past two summers. We love Stepping Stones so much that we are moving our daughter from a different place to Stepping Stones for the threes program. We are so excited. Highly recommend.

Excellent school, very friendly, inclusive and comfortable environment, while also quite demanding and broad educationally. The teachers and administration are exceptionally good at what they do. Preschoolers and younger kids are learning a lot in terms of pure academics, but also important life lessons, get involved with the community and develop work ethics, passion to learn and how to be friends and support each other. I cannot imagine a better place for our preschooler who absolutely loves this school, he is graduating this year from Stepping Stones and got a score of 99 out of 100 on the city G&T exam.

My daughter has spent the last two years starting at age 3 there for pre-school and camp. She absolutely loves it there. It is a warm, clean, nurturing and enriching environment. They provide a great curriculum for the children to get involved and grow. They make it so my daughter is learning while having fun. She is also given homework and little projects to do. Parents involvement is also highly encouraged here. This is a place where you will get to know the other children in the class along with the parents because everyone cares. I have also found that a lot of other teachers also bring their children here whether or not they live in Bay Ridge.
