Virtual Learning Pods
Stepping Stone School is providing safe Virtual Learning Pods for school-age children this Fall!
We are ready and eager to assist your child in a safe and clean learning environment with their virtual learning. We continue to provide our full-time School Age Programming to assist our families and children who are unable to attend elementary school in person.
We have retrofitted our school age classrooms to accommodate full-time At Home elementary school (public & private) fall curricula. We are providing safe, highly sanitized individualized learning environments for our children. While also enhancing Stepping Stone School’s curriculum to augment your child’s daily learning and to fully support TEA guidelines!
We are providing a safe and quiet academic area for your children to participate in virtual learning, and to complete their homework. An onsite capable and degreed faculty member will guide your children with their Private or ISD curriculum work and technology. Our teachers are willing, ready, loving and supportive and WANT to lead your child. Parents will need to provide a laptop or tablet, headphones, logins, passwords and websites children need to log into. Stepping Stone School will also offer TEKS based curriculum to supplement their learning as necessary.
Once schools reopen, we will continue to implement our one-of-a-kind STEAM based After School Care and Curriculum! In addition, Stepping Stone School will provide a daily homework opportunity and a series of exciting activities designed to promote Joy and Mindfulness!

After-School, School Holiday and Year-Round Programs
School-age children grow at an amazing rate— physically, emotionally/socially, cognitively and linguistically. As they develop, 5 to 11-year-olds refine peer relationships and information about the adult world, so they thrive on friendships, alliances, challenges and responsibility. Our programs are designed to nurture your child with character building, homework assistance, mind-expanding S.T.E.A.M. programming and experiments and physical activity to keep your child Fit for Life™!
At Stepping Stone School, our exclusive Future Leaders and Innovators™ After-School Program offers your student a comfortable, group atmosphere. Learning plans are based on the accomplishments of the world’s greatest innovators and leaders. Themes and projects are tailored to your child’s interests, interwoven with our Platinum Learning for Life™ and S.T.E.A.M. curriculum. Children thoroughly enjoy exciting programming, health and wellness education and character-building activities!
A research study by Posner and Vandall (1999) found that high-quality after-school programs are associated with better peer relationships and positive outcomes.
I am one of the students at Stepping Stone School and I love it! We do very fun activities that I learn a lot from and I have made many amazing friends here!
When I have children, I will definitely let them go to Stepping Stone School and I think you should too!
