PROGRAMS

INFANT ROOM (6 WEEKS TO 18 MONTHS)

In our infant room, we understand the importance of your infant’s every need.  We know how it feels to leave your baby in someone else’s hands each day and we do our best to make this transition as easy as possible. We maintain a stimulating environment for your baby to have opportunities to learn and develop.  Our infant room addresses all the needs of your infant, including: 

TODDLER ROOM (18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS)

We know that our Toddlers are ready and eager to learn and play.  In this classroom, we carefully monitor your child’s interests and skills so that we can continue to challenge them to reach their full potential.  We use rotating learning centers that help children learn through exploration and discovery and our teachers find exciting ways to encourage and motivate children to make new friends. This program includes:

PRESCHOOL ROOM (AGES 3 TO 5)

We understand the importance of providing children the opportunity to learn through exploration.  At this age, children are extremely inquisitive, and we believe hands-on activities keep children motivated in the learning process.  In this classroom, children will learn all of the foundational elements so that they are prepared for a kindergarten classroom.  

During the day, we provide time to assist your child with sitting and listening for longer periods.  We adjust our curriculum and expectations according to your child’s needs.  As a brief overview, our preschool classroom provides:

SUMMER CAMP (AGES 5-12)

At Stepping Stones, our Summer Camp program is an exciting alternative to the doldrums of summer. Instead of letting the dog days of summer slowly crawl by, make the summer an exciting one for your child by enrolling them in our exhilarating program! There’s no better way to make sure your child is not only in great hands, but is also enjoying a memorable summer of educational experiences.

  • Water days! Your child will enjoy the summer days outside in the sprinkler and joining peers in water games.

  • Sports days! 

  • Arts and crafts.

  • Trained, courteous staff.

BEFORE AND AFTER CARE

At Stepping Stones, our before and after care program are designed to give your kids a place to hang out, relax, work on homework, or further their learning in a range of activities and teaching settings. We know your schedule can be hectic and finding a place for your child after school is important. Stepping Stones has partnered with Hardyston Elementary to provide safe and reliable transportation to and from school to our before and after school program. This allows your child to be picked up from school and brought to Stepping Stones without having to arrange for a ride. When you finish your workday, you pick up your child from our location in Stockholm, NJ.
