Stepping Stones Community Childcare Centre

Welcome to Stepping Stones Community Childcare Centre, located in the heart of Upper Hutt, New Zealand. We are a trusted establishment and a point of interest for families seeking quality early childhood education and care for their infants, toddlers, and young children.

At Stepping Stones, our mission is to empower children to grow as competent and confident learners. We believe in the importance of bringing generations together and fostering a sense of Turangawaewae, where we engage and explore local places that make us feel empowered and connected. We highly value reciprocal relationships with the places and organizations within our local community.

Our approach to teaching and learning is rooted in the principles of care and inclusivity. We strive to create a caring and inclusive learning community where the health and wellbeing of all individuals are protected and nurtured. We are committed to improving and developing our center to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

We believe in the power of responsive partnerships that work towards equitable outcomes for children, educators, and families. Our warm and authentic atmosphere ensures equitable experiences for all, and we aim to provide a homely environment that is rich with resources and a strong focus on belonging for our tamariki (children) and whānau (families). We place high importance on building quality relationships between our educators and children to enhance their learning and development.

If you have any questions or inquiries about Stepping Stones Community Childcare Centre, we would love to help. Please feel free to send us a message, and we will be in touch promptly. You can find us at 29 Seddon Street, Wallaceville, Upper Hutt, 5018. We look forward to welcoming you to our center and being a part of your child's educational journey.
