My daughter has been at this school for 2 years, and the changes for the better in her are remarkable. She is now happy and positive thanks to the engaging and challenging environment at Steppingstone. I can't say enough positive things about the teachers and staff.

there is more understanding and kindness under this roof than you will find anywhere else. children are allowed time to explore who they are and what they want to learn within flexible guidelines. Transformations are incredible to behold as your child becomes more and more comfortable surrounded by like-minded peers of similar abilities and goes further than public schools allow.

I was impressed that the school was receptive to a community event i was involved with, and also i give them lots of credit for "recycling" by choosing to relocate in an old abandoned car dealership. More credit should be given to businesses that use existing spaces that would otherwide be blight. I would think about putting my kid there if I had to do it all over again. It looks real creative.
