Stepping Stone School Reviews

We've really loved our experience at Stepping Stone Mueller. What stands out to me the most is how responsive and caring the principal, Ms. Devin is, and the close attention she pays to each family and caregiver that make up the community of this school. After deciding to leave our previous daycare due to extreme disappointment with that experience, we're so relieved to have found a place that shows us how positive of an experience a daycare can be

Great school and great community. Staff is attentive and really cares for our child's development and well-being. Amazing hours and overall year-long availability also makes this a great choice for working families.

We chose Stepping Stone Crestview for childcare five years ago, have two children there, and could not be happier with our decision. The staff, with Judy and Leah at the helm, are incredibly caring, patient, personable, and communicative, and the curriculum is robust and challenging, yet age-appropriate and fun for the kids. Our baby adores Ms. Vilma, Michelle, and Holly, who are baby whisperers and keep him smiling and laughing all day -- it's truly comforting knowing that he is in their care when not with us. Additionally, it's a testament to the staff and program that our school-age daughter, who has transitioned seamlessly to kindergarten after being at SS since 5 months, loves attending their afterschool program. Ms. Lynlee's class and her hands-on teaching approach were especially pivotal in preparing her for kinder with respect to curriculum and social-emotional skills. The warm reception and hugs she receives from the staff upon arrival, especially Lynlee, Precious, and Gina, continue to make SS feel like home. Can't recommend SS Crestview enough!

My child has been here for 7 months. She had a difficult time adapting at the beginning because we moved from another state to Texas and she had to start at a new daycare. Mrs. Devin and Mrs. Trinity gave us all the support we needed to help my little one go through this phase successfully, and I'm so grateful for that. She enjoys drawing, dancing, singing, and being herself -- and this center truly allows her to develop those skills and emotions. Teacher Trinity always gives me daily feedback about my child's progress and areas to improve, which I really appreciate. In general, the staff attention and care have been so well. Thank you all the staff for the great job you're doing

My daughter has been attending Stepping Stone at McNeil for several months, and we’re very happy with the afterschool program. The STEM activities are engaging and well thought out—she often comes home excited to share the fun things she learned that day. The teachers and staff are caring and attentive, and I feel confident that she’s in a safe and supportive environment. The playground is great too, giving the kids a good balance between learning and play. Highly recommend this place for families looking for a well-rounded afterschool program!

Stepping Stone Crestview was our first choice for daycare based on a friend’s recommendation, and we’ve been absolutely thrilled with our decision. Ms. Judy has been there for over 30 years and is an incredible wealth of knowledge — always ready with helpful advice whenever I ask. Ms. Judy and Ms. Leah run a truly amazing program! I’ve actually seen more children crying when it’s time to leave Stepping Stone than when they’re dropped off in the morning — a true testament to how much the kids love being there. All the teachers know every child by name and greet them warmly, even if they’re not in that particular classroom. There are so many wonderful teachers, including Ms. Teresa, Ms. Holly, Ms. Sara, Ms. Michelle, and Ms. Vilma (my child ADORES Ms. Vilma!!). I’m sure the other teachers are just as fantastic; we just haven’t had the chance to work with them yet. The daily reports are detailed and helpful, covering naps, meals (which they provide — and the menu is impressively diverse, introducing kids to foods far beyond my usual cooking creativity!), diaper changes, and more, along with an adorable photo. The outdoor play area for the older kids is spacious and inviting. Stepping Stone Crestview provides a loving yet structured environment where children thrive. We truly couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Judy, Leah, Ms. Precious, and Ms. Lynlee are the absolute best! I know my son is always taken care of and loved by the whole school!

Our son has been at Stepping Stone since he was 9 months old, and we’ve had such a great experience. He absolutely loves his teachers and all the fun activities they plan — you can tell they really care about the kids and put thought into each day. As parents, we really appreciate how great the communication is. We get updates and photos every day, which makes it so easy to see what he’s learning and how much fun he’s having. We also love that the school is right in our neighborhood — it feels like such a welcoming community, and drop-offs and pick-ups are super easy. Overall, we couldn’t be happier. Our son is thriving, and we feel lucky to have found a place where he’s so happy and cared for.

We feel so lucky to have Ms. Princess as our daughter’s teacher! She brings such a great energy into the classroom, and it's clear she genuinely cares about each child’s growth and happiness. Our daughter has grown both socially and academically since joining her class, always coming home with a smile and something new to share. Ms. Princess combines structure with creativity, and she keeps the kids engaged in ways that build confidence and independence. Her communication with parents is also thoughtful and consistent, which we really appreciate.

Our kiddos love Stepping Stone. The staff truly care about the kids and our family. They explore a different theme each week and expose even the littlest babies to dual language, colors, letters, and shapes. 2 snacks and lunch are provided which is very helpful!
