Stepping Stone School is ‘Summer’s Smartest Destination!’

Start planning now for summer!

“Summer’s Smartest Destination” is a whole-child approach that will nourish your child’s mind, body and spirit!

CURRICULUM (Mind) – Our educational themes are the basis for fun, interesting activities and field journeys.

Your child will also take part in an organized math and literacy time each day to help them focus and hone the skills they learned during the school year.  We are dedicated to preventing summer “brain drain.”

FIT FOR LIFE (Body) – We are pleased to offer our innovative “Fit For Life” program — health and physical activity education for all our students.

The program teaches the importance of maintaining a healthy body. We’ve added a variety of child-sized exercise equipment to our programs, too!

COMPASSION AND CHARACTER-BUILDING (Heart) – Lastly, a series of compassion and character-building activities will accompany the lessons each week. Your children will also have an opportunity to participate in a reflective thinking time each day.

JUNIOR COUNSELORS (Ages 11-13) – New this year: This innovative program teaches leadership, team-building and social skills.

Check out our planned smart and engaging subjects:

  • June 3-14: Growing Up Green  During this program, children will learn the importance of recycling and sustainability as well as gardening and healthy eating.  We will focus on the importance of maintaining both the environment, as well as our bodies.
  • June 17-28: The Space Age  This program focuses on outer space and the exploration of the universe.  Children will discover planets, stars and the solar system, as well as the means in which humans investigate the “final frontier.”
