Located in Barrie Ontario, Stepping Stones is a non-profit nursery school that provides today’s parents with an affordable option for their children to learn through interactive and independent play. The Stepping Stones environment is warm, inviting and open to all toilet-trained children between the ages of 2.5 and 5 years of age.

The school is run by a volunteer Board of Directors, which consists of parents with children currently in the program. Like you, they want the best for their children in an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and comfortable. Our staff members are qualified ECE teachers and they structure their classes based on the Stepping Stones teaching philosophy and play-based class programs.

Because Stepping Stones is a non-profit school, we rely heavily on volunteer participation. With the help from participating parents, the support of the community, government grants and fundraising we are able to provide quality educational experiences keeping the costs to a minimum. Throughout the year, parents are asked to play an active role in the learning sessions their children are exposed to.
