Children don’t come with instruction manuals, unfortunately. So when you have a question about behavior, nutrition, development or any of the myriad other parenting worries, it’s nice to have a resource for answers.
The teachers and principals at Stepping Stone School are always ready to help with your questions. We also have a list of favorite books to which we refer often! Many of these can be found at your child’s school and are available to borrow.
