Big Steps for Stepping Stones

posted 10/01/04
Four-year-old Hallie was more than happy to demonstrate the play equipment (especially the swing set) at Stepping Stones Childcare and Learning Center last Saturday, (Sept. 25, 2004). During the Open House, parents and children checked out the Toddler Center and the Preschool. Stepping Stones also offers After School Care.

Lacey admires three-year-old Kennedy's playdough creations.

Director Dean Kinnaman started Stepping Stones in 1997 as a daycare center. The business has expanded its services over the years.

Stepping Stones offers childcare from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Preschool is offered for children ages three to five years from 8:15 to 11 a.m. Monday through Thursday.

After School Care for ages five to seven includes pickup from kindergarten.

The most recent addition, The Toddler Center, for children ages 12 months to 2 1/2 years of age, opened last May.

Besides the wide variety of outdoor play equipment, the center also boasts bright colorful rooms.

Stepping Stones offers parenting classes, nutrition, support groups, financial assistance and scholarships.

Stepping Stones is located at 54 Margaurite Place in Friday Harbor. For more information contact Kinnaman at 360.378.4455.
