I’ve been taking my son to Stepping stone for around four months now and although we’ve run into some issues along the way, I’m still giving Stepping stone five stars for the way Liz, the Director, handles problems and issues here. She handles all issues with care and in great detail and i am so appreciative of that. The teachers are also so caring, kind and compassionate, that I am going to be sad when my baby moves up to the bigger class! Thank you !

Not all Stepping Stone locations are created equal. We have been so so happy with this location! We had our toddler at the Teravista location for about 8 months and things were so hectic and inconsistent. When a spot opened up at the AW Grimes location we took it because we had met the director, Liz, and loved her. Advice for parents seeking daycares, the director matters more then the teacher. There’s a lot of teacher turnover no matter where you go but if you can find a consistent director, it makes all the difference! Because they are the ones in charge of replacing those teachers who leave. The teachers here are wonderful with our daughter. They help her when she’s having a rough drop off, they communicate well about her day, and you can tell they truly love and care about our family. Liz runs this place so well and we love seeing her every day. Can’t recommend this Stepping Stone enough!

My baby went for a bit and loved it. Huge thank you to her teacher Ms Sidney who always kept me in the loop and Ms Liz best principal ever! Wish my baby could go back but she's too old now.

We sent our kid for about 1.5 years. It was good for playing, but we felt it lacked structure and proper curriculum. I liked the class teachers but most afternoons the classes were overcrowded where my 3 year old class had much older kids and lacked attention.I did not like the fact that almost every day for the past few months, 4-5 year olds were joined in my 3 year olds class late in the day and there were more students than one teacher can handle.

We have only been coming for the past month and absolutely love it! After having a really bad experience at another center, Ms. Liz heard everything I had to say and was so kind and sympathetic. She assured me that our children would be safe, loved and would learn so much! Stepping Stone is delivering!

We had an exceptional experience with Stepping Stone. Staff's dedication to providing a safe, nurturing environment for children is truly commendable. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and filled with engaging activities. My child eagerly looked forward to each day, forming strong bonds with both teachers and her friend. They provide you regular updates and provide you a good communication about your child's well being via phone call. We highly recommend this daycare for any parent seeking a top notch care and early childhood development.We are really grateful to all the teachers and staffs(especially Ms Jess, Ms Kayla, Ms Liz, etc) who provided care and support for our daughter.

We loving having our boys at stepping stone. They love attending school and being with their amazing teachers Ms.Marni and Ms.Gia. My oldest is always excited about going to school and learning new things. The cook Mrs.Tanisha is amazing and greats every parent as they come in. The campus principals MsLiz and Mr.Israel are constantly doing things to help improve their campus. As a bonus I get to work their and see my kids throughout the day. What a great place to not only send your kids but to also work

Our boys have attended stepping stone since the were new borns. We have watched them grow socially and education since they started attending. Ms.Marni has taught our son not only how to sign words but also how to say words in Spanish. Ms.Gia is our other sons teacher and she constantly leads her room with positive through her lovingness for the kids and her creative art activities. The campus principals Ms.Liz and Mr.Israel great us every morning with a smile

We have attended Stepping Stone School Round Rock for over seven years. From the moment we left our first born with Yhadira we knew we were in good hands with her gentle and active engagement with the children. Leadership has evolved over the years with the recent principal Taylor Ratcliff being the most attentive and hands-on director we had the opportunity to work with. Our children have blossomed during their time growing with the school and we have continued full time and school age aftercare to ensure our children can be connected during part of the day. We'd recommend Stepping Stone School to any family looking for a safe, stable and professional daycare.

I waited to give a review on this school until my son had been a student for 4 months. This place is AMAZING! His teachers Ms. Yhadira and Ms. Marni keep all of his needs well met, but then they go above and beyond to keep him entertained with learning toys and activities such as arts and crafts. The chef prepares a varied menu that makes me jealous as an adult. And the principal Ms. Taylor makes sure everything runs smoothly and that my son is always safe. You can tell that she loves her students.

Our son has been attending Stepping Stone School since we went back to work after parental leave. Ms. Taylor (director) has been extremely accommodating and is readily available for any questions that come up. His teachers Ms. Yhadira and Ms. Merari are always very friendly, attentive, and loving toward the infants in their care. Our son always seems happy when we drop him off and when we pick him up, plus we get several updates throughout the day. We are so thankful for their excellent care of our baby boy!

My boys have attended this school for the past 2 years and we LOVE the teachers and Principal. They are always kind and patient, provide fun activities and enrichment, and are open to hearing concerns. My youngest had the pleasure of having Ms. Terry in Pre-K and I felt comfortable leaving him there knowing he would be loved and care for each day. Now that my boys are in after-school care, they have tons of fun with Mr. Israel, who goes above and beyond for these kids- even buying toys out of his own pocket for them! The Principal, Mrs. Taylor wears many hats, but always greets us warmly and is super responsive and organized. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice in Stepping Stones!

My son has been going to Stepping Stone in Round Rock for 3 years. The staff is very friendly and caring. Ms Terri is a wonderful teacher. Even during the pandemic they have been amazing and supportive. As a front line worker they were there for my family when we needed them. Thank you Stepping Stone staff and teachers!
