Little Stepping Stones

Little Stepping Stones (LSS) is a mom-owned business, founded in 2001 with the opening of our first facility on Technology Drive in Garner. Named “Best Day Care Provider in Johnston County” for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2011. LSS continued to grow, opening its second center on Cleveland Road in the summer of 2006.

LSS is owned and operated by Mary Moore and Jennifer Gibbs, working parents who are actively involved in day-to-day operations. Mary has 15 years of teaching experience with the Montesorri method while Jennifer Gibbs has a background in childcare, as well as B.S. in psychology. Staff at LSS are chosen carefully and receive extensive, ongoing training.

Each classroom is clean, bright, and designed to engage the children, with age-appropriate toys and furnishings. Classrooms (two’s and up) include Learning Centers, stationed about the room, to build skills in language, science, social studies, mathematics, art, music and drama. Lesson Plans are posted in each room.

Special Needs:

All children are welcome at LSS as long as their needs do not compromise the well-being or safety of other children. We are happy to support children dealing with physical, emotional or behavioral challenges and encourage parents to discuss these situations with us.
Parents must take responsibility to communicate and regularly update information related to their child's allergies, immunizations, medications or physical limitations. Though LSS will periodically request these updates, the parent or guardian of the child is responsible for providing current information in a timely fashion.
