One World Learning Center Inc. dba

Stepping Stones Children’s Center is committed to providing a top quality, educational program that promotes high self-esteem, the joy of learning, and an environment of respect and dignity for each other.  Stepping Stones creates an environment that emphasizes kindness and empathy towards others and promotes skills in self reliance which is the root of where high self esteem starts.  We believe without question that the early years are THE most important in the social, emotional, and intellectual development of a child’s life. We provide an environment that is not only safe, positive, and nurturing, but that will also give your child the opportunity to explore, learn, make friends, and most of all to feel successful. We believe that all children deserve to be treated with unconditional love and respect and that each one of them is a unique individual. We believe that the parents are the first and most important teachers in a child’s life and we strive through communication and support to form a partnership between parents and staff for the good of the whole child.

The Center is licensed through the Washoe County Department of  Social Services  for 102 children with four separate classrooms from infancy through Kindergarten  . Each of our classrooms is designed by age and developmental needs of the children in that classroom.  In order to provide and maintain the highest quality program possible Stepping Stones child-to-staff ratios are lower in most of our classrooms than Washoe County requirements.

 We realize that our teachers are our number one asset to providing a quality program for children.  Stepping Stones Children’s Center provides higher wages and excellent benefits compared to the majority of other preschools in the area in order to attract and maintain the best qualified staff.  We strongly believe that children deserve to have teachers who are capable and caring, who take pride in their job, and whose values and character enable them to be excellent role models.
