“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Stepping Stones Children’s Garden! From the moment you’re there, you can feel the warmth and intention behind every detail. The cozy, home-like setting is so inviting, and it’s clear the teachers are deeply committed to nurturing the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically.

My son and daughter have absolutely thrived here. The play-based curriculum encourages them to explore, imagine, and express themselves in ways that feel so natural and joyful. They come home every day with stories about their adventures, whether it’s through outdoor play, crafting, or listening to the storytelling that is a hallmark of Waldorf education.

What I truly appreciate is the sense of rhythm and routine that the school provides. It has given my children a strong sense of security and confidence, which has been such a gift as they grow and learn. The communication between families and teachers is also outstanding. I always feel like we’re part of a safe, supportive collaborative community.

Stepping Stones has created a space where childhood is truly honored and celebrated. I am so grateful for the love and care they pour into every aspect of their program. It’s a joy to watch my children flourish in such a nurturing environment.”

Thank you so much Shehlee 🤍🤍🤍 – Ruth Jones

“We are so happy with Stepping Stones and the teachers! Our son has been attending Stepping Stones for 1 1/2 years and he has learned so much from cooking to meeting new friends to learning new activities. He has grown both physically and mentally and has learned how to share with others. He loves going to see his friends and teachers each week! I can’t think of a better preschool than Stepping Stones.”

“My son went to Stepping Stones Children’s Garden for a couple years and had such a wonderful time at it. The owner of the business, Shehlee Johnson, is a pure delight to see every day. She has such a gentle and kind way with the kids. She helps kids feel at home and comfortable so quickly. The staff that she had employed there were wonderful as well. We were extremely happy with this preschool!”

“I have had 3 children attend the Stepping Stones preschool, and it has consistently been a magical part of our family’s lives. The foundational experience of consistent rhythm and shared values of striving for connection with ourselves, eachother and the natural world strengthened our children and us as parents.

Shehlee is a very special person, able to meet children where they are and truly be in the moment with them while leading the group. We are so grateful for our time here and believe our children are better people from spending time here and we are better parents, supported in community. 

My son believes the food prepared here is the most delicious food on earth.”

We love Stepping Stones!
