Stepping Stones Preschool Registration
Stepping Stones Preschool offers a wide range of preschool options. Programs include half-day preschool and full-day programming (7:00 am - 5:30 pm) when combining preschool and extended care through our partnership with the River Valley YMCA. Children must be 3 or 4 years old as of September 1 of the school year they plan to attend and independently potty-trained - no diapers or pull-ups. Space is limited and will be reserved based upon order of registration.
Scholarships
There are two scholarships that Stepping Stones Preschool families can apply for, one with funds coming from the State and the other State funds that are issued by our school. To be eligible for an Early Learning scholarship, families must live in Scott County and have a child who is 3 or 4 years old by September 1 of the current school year and not yet eligible for kindergarten. A family must have an annual income at or below the income guidelines. A family must reapply each year.
Please contact Elaine Berens at 952.496.5861 or eberens@shakopee.k12.mn.us for specific information on how to apply for an Early Learning scholarship and income guidelines.
Applications will be available after May 1st and awarded after July 1st per State guidelines. Families that are over the income guideline but are experiencing a family hardship may receive alternative scholarship consideration.
