Child Care

Where Central Texas Families
Come First

Choosing care for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. At Stepping Stone School, we make it easier — with 20+ campuses across Austin, Round Rock, Leander, Pflugerville, Kyle, Buda, and College Station, low teacher-to-child ratios, and a curriculum built on 45 years of early childhood expertise. More than child care. A second home.

Why Stepping Stone

Choosing care for your child

That’s why we have created a nurturing child care program that supports the family as a whole. We not only help you and your child with the daily transitions to and from home, but we maintain a low-ratio atmosphere of comfort and security that gives you both peace of mind.

Programs

More than just child care

  • Infants – Infancy is a time of tremendous physical and cognitive growth! Our infant teachers tend to your child’s needs while cheerfully teaching with a song, puppet or animated conversation. Every day, you receive a detailed report about your child’s feeding, diapering, sleeping and playtime activities.
  • Toddlers – At this age, our teachers appropriately introduce routines and continue the overall technique of positive guidance to help give our toddlers the confidence to practice new skills and embrace new experiences.
  • Pre-Kindergarten – Children ages 3 to 4 are whirlwinds of learning! Your child’s daily schedule will include pre-literacy lessons, math, science, computers, dramatic and sensory play, art and music, as well as plenty of physical activity for a healthy mind and body.
  • Advanced Pre-Kindergarten – Children ages 4 to 5 are budding scholars! Our educators implement our Platinum Learning for Life™ curriculum to create a solid foundation for future academic and social-emotional success. Students discover their potential, eagerly explore new concepts and are inspired to be adventurous learners!
  • School Age – Our Future Leaders and Inventors after-school and summer camp programs offer your student a comfortable group atmosphere with learning centered around the accomplishments of the world’s greatest innovators and leaders. We offer convenient drop-offs to and pick-ups from many local elementary schools!

All children who are able to eat solid foods are served a nutritious meal and 3 snacks daily. Please see our FAQs section to find more answers to your specific questions.
