We are thrilled to share that Stepping Stone School has been named Best Childcare in Austin in the Austin American-Statesman Community Choice Awards 2025! This incredible honor was made possible by the families, friends, and community members who voted for us, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

For more than 45 years, Stepping Stone School has been the trusted leader in Early Care and Education across Central Texas. Each award we receive is a reflection of the strong, supportive community we’ve built together. When families, educators, and children come together with a shared vision, great things happen! This award is another exciting milestone in our journey.

Choosing Stepping Stone School means joining a community dedicated to nurturing the whole child. Our research-based, proven programs are designed to prepare children for lifelong success. Decades of studies show that children who participate in high-quality Early Care and Education programs not only excel academically but also gain the social skills, character development, and confidence needed to succeed in elementary school and beyond.

We are especially proud that so many teachers and educators trust Stepping Stone School for their own children, a true testament to the quality, care, and excellence we deliver every single day.

This award is more than just a recognition; it’s a reminder that by choosing Stepping Stone School, parents are making the right choice for their family’s future. We are deeply honored and remain committed to providing the safest, most enriching, and supportive environment for every child. 

Thank you to our families for your continued trust and support. Together, we are shaping strong futures. We couldn’t do it without you!
