At Stepping Stones our approach to learning is multifaceted to enable children’s healthy development. Learning is an active, lifelong process that begins with curiosity about the world. It is motivated by interest, fueled by choice and enjoyment, and shaped by social context.
Providing inspirational learning opportunities that motivate children to lead fun and healthy lives are rewarding for everyone. Play is essential. Children are conductors of their personal learning journeys and adults have important roles in helping design and navigate each unique experience.
Stepping Stones provides outstanding exhibits, programs and services for children that contribute to healthy communities around the world.
