Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Your information states that your prices are competitive. However, when I compare pricing to other local options, your prices are equal to or a bit higher. How do you consider your prices competitive?

A: We price our programs as all-inclusive. Many programs do not include Spanish, music, diapers, wipes or baby food in their pricing - and have additional fees for such features. We believe that all children at Stepping Stones should have equal access to these program features and do not have additional fees for them.

Additionally, we have an on-site chef, and all of our food is wholesome & freshly prepared. To compare apples to apples, you will need to factor all prices together at other centers, and then compare to our price. You will find that we are priced much lower than other centers in Woodbury.

Q: Are you a chain/franchise?

A: No, we are locally owned and operated. Our owner is a local mom who couldn't find the kind of childcare and preschool for her own children that she would have liked, so she was inspired to create Stepping Stones. Her ideas of what could be different, stimulating and more nurturing are found at Stepping Stones. The building design, student/teacher ratios, classroom set up, highly-qualified teachers, curriculum, and even the colors found on the walls are an expression of her dream to build something unique and desirable for local families.

Q: Are your programs available only to residents of the Stonemill Farms neighborhood?

A: The site of Stepping Stones was picked very specifically. We love the features of being set in the quiet Stonemill Farms neighborhood across from Liberty Ridge Elementary School. However, Stepping Stones is not exclusive to this neighborhood. All of our programs are open to the public, regardless of where they reside.
