Our Mission
SteppingStone Day School, established in 1983, is a private, not for profit preschool program and evaluation site for children with and without special needs. The agency’s mission is to provide collaborative evaluation, education, therapy and family support services so that young children can develop to their full potential and join with their families and friends as members of the community.
