Highlights:
Our in-home childcare offers four programs: Infant, Toddler, Toddler Plus and Preschool providing services for children ages 3 months through Kindergarten entry.
Children of all ages are given the opportunity to participate in a wide range of experiences from which to grow. It is our belief that such experiences must be provided in a supportive and nurturing environment, be child oriented, and allow children freedom of choice whenever possible.
Located on Easton/Mansfield line, the center offers homely environment equipped with bright, spacious playrooms, dining area, nap room and outdoor playground.
The infant/young toddler program (3 months to 18 months).
Infants enrolled in the program are given individual attention throughout the day. Information provided by parents is used to plan each child's day according to his/her needs. As a result, feeding, diapering and napping are each a integral part of the daily curriculum.

I have 2 children, one who has just left Stepping Stones and entered kindergarten, and the other has attended since she was 8 months old (she is now 3). I feel my children have really thrived there. Because of the small setting of a family daycare, the curriculum can be tailored more to my children's needs and she is very accommodating. I love that she is such a diverse person herself, having degrees in engineering and early childhood education, and my oldest has attended her math chess class. She really cares about my children and knows them really well. She is like a member of our family. I highly recommend Stepping Stones. Your children will be in great hands and be taken care of very well.
