Stepping Stones Preschool

The skills needed for school and life are learned well before the age of six. With an impeccable facility that supports a variety of learning opportunities, including licensed teachers and supportive staff, the Stepping Stones Preschool at Pearson Early Learning Center is a truly rewarding program for young learners of all abilities. 

Did you know Pearson Early Learning Center is a Four-Star Parent Aware preschool? This designation indicates that Stepping Stones Preschool early education programs use research-based practices to best prepare children for kindergarten. Instructional programming also includes innovative approaches that infuse STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) concepts as well as the Pyramid Model. The Pyramid Model supports the social and emotional growth of each child through dedicated social-emotional curriculum, practices and interventions.
