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. 

Play is essential. Providing inspirational learning opportunities that motivate children to lead fun and healthy lives are rewarding for everyone. Children are conductors of their personal learning journeys and adults have important roles in helping design and navigate each unique experience.

Stepping Stones connects with children, ages ten and younger, and their families at home and around the world through new and enhanced exhibits, programs and services that promote healthy children and healthy communities.
