Stepping Stone School - Round Rock/Grimes

"My son started going to this daycare in September. He is in Ms. Marni’s infant class. We immediately could feel the love and care from the staff. My son happily stays with staff each morning at drop off and is happy when I pick him up in the afternoons. It’s obvious that Ms. Marni loves to work with children. She is always in a playful and joyful mood. She is patient and great at communicating essential details about my son at the beginning and end of the day. I know that my son is in great hands while I’m working all day."

"Not all Stepping Stone locations are created equal. We have been so so happy with this location! We had our toddler at the Teravista location for about 8 months and things were so hectic and inconsistent. When a spot opened up at the AW Grimes location we took it because we had met the director, Liz, and loved her. Advice for parents seeking daycares, the director matters more then the teacher. There’s a lot of teacher turnover no matter where you go but if you can find a consistent director, it makes all the difference! Because they are the ones in charge of replacing those teachers who leave. The teachers here are wonderful with our daughter. They help her when she’s having a rough drop off, they communicate well about her day, and you can tell they truly love and care about our family. Liz runs this place so well and we love seeing her every day. Can’t recommend this Stepping Stone enough!"

"I’ve been taking my son to Stepping stone for around four months now and although we’ve run into some issues along the way, I’m still giving Stepping stone five stars for the way Liz, the Director, handles problems and issues here. She handles all issues with care and in great detail and i am so appreciative of that. The teachers are also so caring, kind and compassionate, that I am going to be sad when my baby moves up to the bigger class! Thank you !"

"We had an exceptional experience with Stepping Stone. Staff's dedication to providing a safe, nurturing environment for children is truly commendable. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and filled with engaging activities. My child eagerly looked forward to each day, forming strong bonds with both teachers and her friend. They provide you regular updates and provide you a good communication about your child's well being via phone call. We highly recommend this daycare for any parent seeking a top notch care and early childhood development. We are really grateful to all the teachers and staffs(especially Ms Jess, Ms Kayla, Ms Liz, etc) who provided care and support for our daughter."
