Welcome to Stepping Stones Academy!

I am very grateful to be able to provide a safe, nurturing, and happy learning environment for your children. My dream has been to open a meaningful center for kids to be taken care of and loved and also for parents to feel safe and have a piece of mind knowing their children are well taken care of. As a mother myself finding childcare where you were able to be at work and not worry was a struggle. Children's safety is the utmost important thing to us. We are not a normal daycare nor are we "Just babysitters" we help in many different ways developmentally, educationally, emotionally and more. We will help your child with the right steps towards a solid educational foundation and a brighter future. We go above and beyond to help each child reach their full potential. Being in childcare since 2016 I have learned a lot about the differences in children's learning styles, special needs education, and have been able to help many teachers adapt their lessons accordingly. We look forward to being a part of your child's life!

Hello, I'm Jackie and I am 26 years old. I am a very thankful wife and mama of a beautiful little girl! I am a huge family person and I couldn't thank God enough for them! I've always wanted to teach kids and watch them grow up which led me to your babies! I have worked in childcare since 2016 and have loved every second of it, the crazy days, the good days, and the best days! I've been lucky enough to teach, love, and care for your children and others and I couldn't imagine doing otherwise! Here's to new beginnings every day for all of us!

I am so very excited to be in a classroom with your children and can have the opportunity to be a role model for your child. I have been working with children since 2015 starting out as a 4-H camp counselor and then into a classroom setting with a background in special education. My biggest goal in the classroom is to ensure that your child is getting the attention and the help that they need all while providing a safe, healthy, and fun environment to reach their full potential and be everything they strive to be while being in our care.

I'm so excited to be working in the classroom with your children! I have always loved working with younger children from babysitting in high school to having a daughter of my own in 2021. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and helping each child based on their individual needs. My passion in life is to make everyone smile, I'm here to work with your children and to help them as they grow. I would like to teach each child about respecting each other and believing in themselves. I can't wait to work with your children and make the classroom a safe and fun place to learn!

I am beyond excited to have an opportunity to not only be in a classroom with your kiddos, but also provide a fun, safe, happy, and loving environment! I live on a farm with a variety of livestock animals including my two pugs Mac and Louie and my kitty Mimzi! I was in 4-H my whole life and found enjoyment in teaching younger youth the things I've learned throughout my time in 4-H
