Building Bright Futures with STEAM and The Creative Curriculum

Preschoolers are children ages 3 to 5 years old (36 to 60 months), a stage characterized by rapid cognitive growth and boundless energy. Children at this age are actively improving their coordination, learning complex new skills, and beginning to interact much more meaningfully with their peers. At Stepping Stones Early Childhood Center, our preschool program is designed to harness this natural energy and turn it into a foundation for lifelong learning. We provide a structured yet highly engaging environment that prepares your child for kindergarten and beyond.

Advancing Complex Skills and Peer Interaction

Our preschool classrooms are dynamic spaces where children are encouraged to take on new challenges. As they grow, we guide them in refining their fine and gross motor coordination, mastering increasingly complex tasks, and navigating cooperative play. By learning how to share, collaborate, and communicate effectively, children develop the vital social-emotional skills required for future academic environments.

Hands-On STEAM Learning

To prepare young minds for the modern educational landscape, our preschool program introduces essential topics in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM). We present these subjects at developmentally appropriate levels to encourage growth in all domains. Through captivating, hands-on experiments and guided investigations, children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills organically.

Evidence-Based Practice and The Creative Curriculum

SSECC implements The Creative Curriculum, a renowned evidence-based practice model for the development of the young mind and body. It strictly follows the DAP (developmentally appropriate practice) model. Our comprehensive preschool structure features immersive thematic units, engaging hands-on experiences, and a balanced mix of daily small-group and large-group instruction to ensure individualized attention.

Flexible Scheduling to Fit Your Family

We understand that modern families have diverse and demanding schedules. To best accommodate our community, our preschool offering is built as a comprehensive full-day program that can be easily modified into a half-day program according to your specific needs. You get to choose the schedule that works best for your family without compromising on educational quality.
