I love this daycare! I have taken my son here since he was 3yrs old. He is now 6yrs old. I recommend this daycare to my closest friends because it feels like family is taking care of my son. I am grateful to have a safe place to take my son daily. He loves going to Stepping Stones! Ms. Minnie and her Husband Mr. Fred (the directors) are the sweetest most approachable people! My son comes home daily to tell me how his day was great with Ms. Felicia and Ms.D. He tells me how they play outside, draw, learn about different holidays, all while keeping a disciplined and safe environment. The staff is respectful and keeps children accountable for their actions. My son is at daycare more hours of the day than at home so it is important that he is at a daycare that instills discipline and respect. Thank you stepping stone for taking such great care of my son!

I Just wanted to come on here and leave my full and honest review for anyone that is really considering Stepping Stones. Obviously this is my personally experience but I hope to give an honest insight for anyone that is seeking it. I’ve always been a paranoid mama and have been so skeptical about leaving my baby anywhere. I came across stepping stones by recommendation from another mother and truly took a leap of faith during a struggling moment in my life. I can honestly say this place has been phenomenal and keeps my heart and mind at ease. My baby boy was about 5 months when I started bringing him and everyone from Ms Minnie , the director, down to all the other wonderful staff have been so caring, kind, Informative, and more than anything loving to my baby boy. The place is very well secured and requires you to pin in. If they are lower on staff they will lock it and require a staff member to come open it due to the safe keeping of the children. It is very clean and all their licenses and policies are posted and up to date. Trust me, us military folks are doctrine nerds and WILL read everything that is posted. Every time I come I am scanning the area and reading different policies they have. No matter what time I come and pick up my child, all staff members are actively engaged and supervising the children and babies. The moment I drop my baby off they check his diaper to ensure it is clean and they are on top of his feeding. They allow the parents to come in whenever they need to so they can check on their child, visit, pump, feed, etc. Literally at any time. I am always communicating with the staff and receive pictures of my baby. The only time my baby has ever came home with a scratch was because he had the habit of scratching himself. NEVER had my baby come home with a rash, if anything they always ensure he is changed and cleaned. They even put his dirty clothes in a little bag for me. My baby is extremely fussy and it worried me because of all the scary daycare stories but they are extremely loving and patient with all the babies and kids. When I come by sometimes I see the staff members supervising the older children when they play or are outside. Obviously they are kids and I have seen them running and playing and they trip sometimes as kids always do, so if you expect your child to always be sitting down with no minor little scrapes or bruises from playing then you are being unrealistic. The staff will immediately notify you if they get hurt or if they encounter any issues with your child and for that I appreciate them. I can assure you they are amazing and so so loving. Thank you Ms Diana, Silvia, Sandra, Maria, Felicia, Ms D, Ms Minnie, and the rest of the staff. You are all incredible and as a caring parent will always be grateful for what you do.

My son started daycare last week + it’s been a very positive experience so far. He attended a different daycare for 2-3 months prior to this one + he cried every single time I dropped him off. Their playground was under renovation + he didn’t get to go outside. This daycare has an awesome playground! He now gets excited when he is getting dressed in the morning + doesn’t cry at all when I drop him off. It gives me such peace of mind to know that he’s happy. They also have an app that lets parents check on their kids, send payments, and receive pics. The other daycare didn’t have this. I’m very pleased with Stepping Stones.

I absolutely love this daycare! My daughter who is 18 months has been enrolled since she was about 9 months and she loves it here. As happy as she is to see me when I pick her up, she is almost as happy to be dropped off every morning. The staff here are like her second family. I love that I'm updated throughout the day on how she's doing and always kept informed on any changes or concerns. It's always a difficult decision when deciding who to entrust our precious little ones to, but I'm so glad I found this place.

I take my daughter here who is 10months old. My daughter is my little miracle baby who took 1yr and half to make with infertility treatment. I am especially protective of my daughter and seriously thought about quitting my job just to stay home with her after she was born. I am so thankful I found a place like stepping stones where I feel confident my baby is safe and loved. I have been taking my daughter to stepping stones since she was 3 months old and she was exclusively breastfed so it was an adjustment to get her bottle fed with breast milk and formula transition. Ms. Minnie, Ms. Maria, and Ms. Diana keep constant communication with me when it came to everything regarding my child. My daughter has extremely sensitive skins with ezcema and I would be alerted anytime she would flare up with a rash (from her ezcema). The staff would take a picture and message me so I am aware right away. As a military member it is important to over communicate. Never has my daughter come home with a diaper rash. I appreciate all the love and communication the staff displays with my daughter. I receive a daily sitrep (situational report) of my daughter when I pick her up. As well as throughout the day with messages and pictures. I am truly thankful for this loving facility who I can trust with my baby girl. All staff I have encountered at stepping stones have been welcoming and warm hearted. I highly recommend this facility to all my closest friends and family! Thank you Stepping Stones!
