Stepping Stone School - Plum Creek/Buda

"My little one went to this center from 6 weeks old to 18 months old, in total 3 classroom age groups. In each class we had several different experiences which I will explain. The center had cameras but the parents cannot view them at all. The baby room 6week-11months We had a great experience in this room. A few issues that happened but quick reactions and fixes. I was mostly happy with the care in this room. Child started walking/crawling early. 10months-12months This classroom from my understanding was used to help transition into the bigger toddler room and adjust to more of a schedule that wasn’t in the baby room. The bad part was this room was hardly open for whatever reason so the transition wasn’t apple to happen. Again shoes not enforced. (This caused runny noses and could never keep clear) 12months-18months This is when all the issues started to happen. Bites happen so wasn’t surprised when it did happen. But the first one happened before even moving to this classroom but on a visit in the classroom. When this happened it started the behavior that my child started biting. I am never for this behavior but this kind of behavior never happened at home so I couldn’t stop it. The school rather segregate a child in a high chair for hours everyday instead of showing boundaries and teaching. They would send child home which was a reward so again boundaries never taught. On top of this issue of not wanting to set boundaries and encourage healthy behaviors with sharing with friends, they would always remove pants and shoes. I would pick up with my child in just a onesie. They were so worried about what problems were going on with my child that when something happened to my child they never knew and I had to ask several times for an incident report that would come days later and didn’t know if it was the full truth. Due to these issues I wanted to move centers. I moved the center closer to my job. They only gave my child a week calling him a problem due to all the unhealthy boundaries set by this center. I find it strange that now I have been to a whole new daycare all together and have camera access that I do not see the issues that this daycare said were occurring. My child hasn’t had any incidents reports and now that pants and shoes are being enforced there isn’t anymore runny nose. Now that my child isn’t locked up in a high chair, they are ready to close for the day instead of wanting to play (which should have been happening during the day)"

"We moved to Kyle in summer of 2020. My children have attended Stepping Stone full time and/or after school ever since. We have had a wonderful experience. My children have had very loving and caring teachers and the director, Ms. Brittany, has been amazing. There isn't a single negative things I could say about her!"

"My daughter went through a big transformation when we moved from Leander to Kyle last year. Leaving behind all she knew, first house, friends, neighbors and a great school. I was so scared that we wouldn’t find another great school. We started going to Stepping Stone in January this year and it was the best decision we could have made. In 5 months she has learned and grown so much! We owe it all to her amazing teachers for teaching her everything she has learned. Kindness, empathy, sense of self, and the social aspect they teach warms my heart! I can’t thank Mrs. Lyndsey and Ms. Laura enough! We are ready for Kindergarten!"

"I am thrilled to have had Stepping Stone Plum Creek to support myself and my children for the past 2 years. My children started school back in 2020, and we have had such incredible experiences. My children have moved through different classes at Stepping stone for the duration of time there, and all of the caring teachers have made positive impact for my kids. So much so, that my children feel welcomed, loved, and cared for, and actually hate to miss school. Additionally, they always have extra curricular activities that your children can enroll in, like swim class, sports, gymnastics, dance, etc,. My children did dance and swim, and I was so glad to not have to worry about them as much in the pool over summers because they were so well trained! That said, the main teachers that have made incredible impact to them are: Ms. Sam, Ms. Sam, Ms. Laura, and last bit certainly not least, Ms. Lyndsey. My daughters have both had the pleasure of being cared for and educated by these talented ladies and I couldn’t ask for more! Additionally, Ms. Lyndsey has always been so thoughtful and creative in her lesson planning. My kids have learned a great deal from her, in age appropriate development activities. It’s incredible that they are taught so much through guided play. And, just as my eldest was ready for kindergarten, Ms. Lyndsey put on (and does so every year for the pre-k students about to go to kinder) a wonderful graduation ceremony for parents and grandparents! This graduation ceremony is extremely well planned and executed. The children get to show off their talents and everything they’ve worked so hard learning the entire time they’ve been at Stepping stone, and it’s an amazing right of passage. I can’t put enough worlds in to this review to give enough credit to how much care and love have been put in to my children. I wish I could! Thank you to all the teachers and faculty there that work tirelessly to make a difference for our children. We truly appreciate you!"

"My daughter has been at Stepping Stone Plum Creek for 4 years. The school has been great! My daughter enjoys her friends there and the teachers take time to welcome every child. Mrs. Lyndsey and Ms. Laura are always welcoming the children with open arms and assist them in transitioning to their day at school! T"
