Stepping Stones is an excellent school. I find Montessori schools refreshing among the choices…read moretoday. I enrolled my son here at 18 months old when he joined the toddler casa. He is currently a second year in the primary class. He has thrived in this atmosphere and without question stands out from his non Montessori peers. Stepping Stones is a private entity with reasonable tuition rates. I love the fact the lead guides have been there for a long time and are really invested in the welfare (saftey and development) of the students. There is a focus on the environment/nature, foreign language (Spanish), music, art and Yoga. This place is pretty impressive. Many parents send their children to traditional day cares where they learn little. You just have to observe to believe that the Montessori method works. I come from a traditional schooling approach and am amazed by this school, faculty, instruction and the resulting kids.

We're half way through our second year at this wonderful school, and will be sad to have to leave…read morefor kindergarten. I watched my clingy, anxious child blossom into a confident and engaged kid ready for whatever comes next, and I know that was due in part to the compassionate work of this dedicated team. Their energy and creativity are boundless. They do great work with academics, and I believe my child is well on the way to being prepared for kindergarten already. Their work on executive function is important too, though, and that's where my child really benefited. He's naturally bright (well, we think so), but he is also gaining the skills to let that brightness shine through in a structured classroom setting. Go ahead and visit other preschools, but come here when you're ready to fall in love with the best group of early childhood educators in town. Ask any of the local kindergarten teachers, and they'll tell you -- Sunshine House kids show up ready to rock and roll. LOVE THESE LADIES!!

The principal sends out an email every week to keep you updated, and the care is very compassionate by all of the staff. I especially love how my son's preschool class uses the ClassDojo app so we can see pictures and videos of what our kiddos are doing in class. Thanks for being so great and giving a great preschool program that talks about Jesus!

Awful experience in which my child was put in an unsafe situation due to the school's inability to…read morebe inclusive to all students personalities and learning styles. Questions of my character as a parent came into play instead of focusing on the needs of my child and effectively communicating concerns. Principal is unreasonable and took statements geared towards open discussion and escalated them instead of putting me at ease. Principal was not open to helping and was condescending. When looking at the parent's statement below who engaged an attorney to speak to the Principal, I am not not surprised and saddened I sent my child to this school after making such a financial sacrifice to do so. The school promises low class sizes but this is untrue. Lower grades can have as many as 26 children- making this comparable, or even more in numbers, to public school. As a Christian, I am grateful I won't be sending my child here again and that the truth of how the school operates was fully exposed to me. I would not recommend this school.
