Stepping Stone School - Hyde Park

"My daughter has been attending stepping stone school for about a month now. She is delayed in speech and socially withdrawn from children her age. She receives speech and occupational therapy. Her therapist do provide their services there with her at the school. Since enrolling her at Stepping Stone Hyde Park she is now finally saying 2 word sentences and playing with other children! She is no longer withdrawn and no longer just pointing at what she wants she is finally talking! Thank you ms. Akayla, Ms. Alicia and Ms. Diane for working with her and teaching her how to count and how to initiate conversation with her friends! She has grown so much both in her speech and socially! Thank you Ms Robyn for always being so helpful! ❤️"

"We are so happy with our choice in sending our daughter to school here. My husband and I both work full time, and it was really difficult to drop her off at around 3 months old when I returned to work from maternity leave. This school has been a dream come true. Our daughter has been attending for nearly a year and a half, and all of her teachers have been great. Promoting Jessica to a leader of the school was an excellent choice. While all of the teachers have been great, I know our daughter is well taken care with Jessica close by. We really like all of the teachers and have seen our daughter develop real life skills from her school. Food is also included, which is very convenient. Would definitely recommend."

"It has been 4 months since sending our daughter to this place. Overall, I feel like she loves her teachers and the school. We can also see she has a good time in the activity they provided in the pics and videos they sent us on the app. It is also great to hear from the teachers how my daughter’s day was when we pick her up. They also provide empirical advice for us from their experience, which is really helpful for us as a first-time parent."

"We've had some ups and downs over the years, but ultimately our daughter loves her teachers, and the curriculum has been great. Reading another review that was negative talked about issues with putting them in other diapers not provided by the parents which is true, and everything that review mentioned has unfortunately happened to us but I genuinely feel it's due to a lack of staffing which I fear every daycare is facing. An example would be the inaccurate reports in the parent app where they report 3oz offered, 3 oz given when we're bringing 5oz bottles. I figured it's probably better they're focusing on watching the kids rather than updating an app, but I would love if there was time for them to improve their daily reports. They have always loved my girls and tell me stories about their day at pickup. The older classrooms don't have the problem with the app as much. The lack of staffing leads to having classes that many times combined in order to meet daycare ratio guidelines and that means my child may not be in in a classroom with their own diapers readily available. I feel this campus does the best they can with the resources they have. We've gone through at least 5 principals in the 3 years we've been there. The current principal, Robin has been the most genuine and helpful so far. Alicia is my daughter's teacher and she provides great updates when I'm able to see catch her at drop off/pickup. We get multiple pictures sent daily which we love. Overall there's room for improvement but my girls are fed and taken care of so I will continue to keep my girls there. My daughter is also extremely bright, loves singing, has developed strong friendships and I feel like a lot of her personal growth is due to the work and curriculum at Stepping Stone."

"Our two year old daughter has been enrolled at Stepping Stone Hyde Park since she was about 3 months old. We have been very pleased with their staff and programming. Teachers seem very interactive and seem to care about their work. Several of the teachers have worked at this location since our daughter was an infant. Staff are communicative and easy to get in contact with. We get daily written, and photo / video updates. We are expecting another baby and plan to enroll our soon to arrive child at stepping stone as well. Highly recommended!"
