Program Enrichments

Stepping Stone School supports its academic curriculum with specially selected programs and activities designed to expand our students’ knowledge and experience in health and wellness, communication and expression, art, music, dance, martial arts, science and technology.

Concentrated Learning Centers

Writing, reading and math centers are part of all age-appropriate classrooms at Stepping Stone School. Computer centers are included in every classroom beginning at age three, and many of our facilities include centrally located computer labs, as well

S.T.R.E.A.M.

All campuses have individual rooms or areas dedicated to S.T.R.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Relationships, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) activities and discovery, while ALL classrooms incorporate the S.T.R.E.A.M. concepts into the weekly learning plans and daily activities. The S.T.R.E.A.M. rooms contain computers with science based software, digital microscopes, robotics, light boards, large design and oversized construction blocks and building materials.

Fit for Life™

Physical exercise comes naturally to and is a necessity for young children. Stepping Stone School offers abundant opportunities for physical activity in age-appropriate indoor and outdoor play areas. Dancing, climbing, hopping, jumping, running or ball play are always part of the school day for our children. Students also learn what it means to eat a healthy diet and lead a healthy life.

The Atelier™

The Atelier™ is a unique and innovative concept designed specifically by Stepping Stone School to expand the artistic and design opportunities for our students. The program focuses on the inner creative genius of each child and provides them with character and creative role models which will inspire them to tap into their own creative potential.

American Sign Language (ASL)

ASL is introduced to Stepping Stone School students as infants, and continues to be taught and used daily through our Advanced Kindergarten Readiness Academy. Sign language gives infants and toddlers who don’t yet have the verbal skills to use spoken language a way to express their needs, wants and feelings. Sign language also provides preschoolers and pre-K students with an illustrative and kinesthetic dimension as they learn sounds, words and simple sentences.

Chess

These classes and tournaments provide a multitude of benefits to our young strategists! Children who play chess have been shown to improve their math and reading skills, but the benefits go far beyond academic.

Journaling

At Stepping Stone School, we encourage and create opportunities for journaling as an important resource for self-expression, to process learning and to practice literacy skills.

Dual Language Immersion Lab™

These intensive lessons give students a jump start at learning a second language.
