Children are unique, their school should be too.

Stepping Stones is an indoor/outdoor school dedicated to inspiring lifelong learners.

Now serving ages 2.5 through 11 years

At Stepping Stones, we understand that education extends beyond textbooks and classrooms, encompassing the forests, meadows, and streams that surround us. Through hands-on experiences, engaging activities, and guided exploration, our staff empowers students to actively engage with the environment, nurturing their understanding of ecological systems and their role in preserving them.

While our staff members primarily serve as educators, they also take on the role of mentors, guiding students on their journey of self-discovery and personal growth. They foster resilience, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility, instilling values that extend far beyond the boundaries of our school. By nurturing the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, and ethically—they shape young minds into compassionate and informed environmental stewards.

We take immense pride in our unwavering commitment to our mission: to awaken a deep sense of wonder, cultivate a profound connection with nature, and empower students to become environmentally conscious global citizens. Together, our dedicated team creates a nurturing and inspiring environment that ignites a love for learning, nurtures reverence for nature, and encourages a lifetime of exploration.
