Introducing Mother’s Day Out at Stepping Stone School Hyde Park

For more than 45 years, Stepping Stone School has been the name Central Texas families turn to when they want more than just childcare. They want a place where their child is known, celebrated, and genuinely prepared for what comes next. This August, we’re bringing that same trusted experience to a brand-new program at our Hyde Park campus, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

Starting August 2026, Stepping Stone School Hyde Park will offer a traditional Mother’s Day Out (MDO) program designed specifically for children ages 3–5. This is a flexible, part-time option designed for families who want high-quality early childhood enrichment without a full-time commitment.

Here’s what the program looks like:

• Ages: 3–5 years old
• Days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
• Hours: 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
• Rate: $925/month
• Enrollment: Limited to 15 children, sign up early!
• Included: Warm, chef-prepared lunch and morning snack!

  

Why MDO at Stepping Stone Is Different

What sets this program apart isn’t just our name, it’s what happens inside the classroom every single day. Stepping Stone School has always believed that every child deserves a safe, nutrutring environment that goes far beyond the basics. Our MDO program is no exception.

Children enrolled in our Mother’s Day Out program will experience the same exceptional enrichments woven throughout our full-time programs, now available in a part-time format. Here’s a look at what’s included:

• Mandarin, Spanish & ASL (American Sign Language): Trilingual exposure from an early age builds cognitive flexibility and opens doors for a lifetime.
• Creativity: The Atelier, our studio-style art experience, invites children to explore creativity through open-ended materials and process-based learning.
• Literacy: Children develop early literacy and self-expression skills through pre-reading, guided journaling, and reading experiences that grow with them.
• ABCmouse: Award-winning digital learning curriculum that makes early reading, math, and science engaging and fun.
• Character Development: Social-emotional learning is at the heart of everything we do. Through our Proud to Be Polite™ and Kindness and Empathy™ program, children learn how to care for themselves, their friends, and their community.
• S.T.R.E.A.M.: Science, Technology, Relationships, Engineering, Arts, and Math , our signature approach to hands-on, integrated learning that prepares children for their future.

At Stepping Stone Schools, enrichments are part of our every day curriculum!

A Community That Knows Your Name

Our Hyde Park campus is rooted in the neighborhood it serves. Families who walk through our doors become part of a genuine community, one where teachers know your child by name, parents connect with one another, and everyone shares a common goal: joyful early childhood experiences!

With only 15 places available, this program is exclusive. Which means more individual attention, deeper relationships, and an experience that is personal.
