Continuing the Learning Journey

Stepping Stone supports children as they progress from early-years learning into primary education, with age-appropriate learning experiences designed to encourage confidence, curiosity, communication, creativity and independence.

Learning Through Play, Exploration & Experience

At Stepping Stone Day Care and Play School, we believe young children learn best when they are actively involved, encouraged to explore, and given opportunities to learn through play and hands-on experiences.

Our learning approach supports communication, creativity, cognitive development, social interaction, physical development and school readiness through age-appropriate activities.

From Playgroup to UKG (PP2), children gradually develop the skills and confidence they need for their next stage of learning. Our primary classes, Class 1 and Class 2, continue the learning journey, with detailed curriculum information being updated.
