Stepping Stones Children’s Center Mission Statement

Stepping Stones Children’s Center Inc. is a private non-profit organization whose mission is the total development of children. We are committed to providing high quality education and child care in an environment that fosters positive relationships among our children staff families and the community we serve.

History of Stepping Stones

In 1979 a group of parent volunteers turned an old farmhouse on Eden Hall Farm in Gibsonia PA into a schoolhouse in just 9 days and Stepping Stones Children’s Center was born! Programs included Extended Day child care Home Based Child Care Preschool Education and Time Out (a play group for toddlers). In 1981 Stepping Stones became a 501©3 organization.

Over the next 15 years Stepping Stones expanded its programs adding Before/After School-Age Child Care School-Age Summer Camps Extended Day Child Care for Infants and Toddlers and Kindergarten Care.

In 1990 Stepping Stones began its relationship with the Pine-Richland School District with the creation of the Work-Study in Child Development for High School Juniors and Seniors. The Before/After School-Age Child Care program also moved to Hance Elementary.

In 1993 Stepping Stones began (and is still!) operating at our Wexford (Route 910) location in Crossroads Presbyterian Church which houses Extended Day Care (Infants – Preschool) and our Kindergarten Program and in 1995 we opened our Gibsonia (Warrendale Road) location next to the Pine-Richland High School which currently houses Extended Day Care (Infants – Pre-K) as well as the Stepping Stones Administrative Offices.

Currently Stepping Stones Children’s Center operates in six sites with over 350 children enrolled. We proudly celebrated our 30th Anniversary in 2009!
