Stepping Stones Learning Academy

most teachers are very good. The owners have no Idea how to handle children. They only care about the money. My son was at the stepping stones in Salisbury and did great. as soon as he went to the one in fruitland his behavior change. Now that he is in another school he is excelling not only academically but his behavior has changed. I would not recommend the school in Fruitland at all. Not a very clean place either

To the parent who assumed that I didn't like the school because I didn't pay my bill - I paid my bill ahead of time all the time. The parent of the child who tortured my child daily, in one case throwing sand in my child's eye which required a visit to the emergency room, was the one who didn't pay. The owners don't follow their own policies. They don't get rid of children who are consistently violent toward other children and don't get rid of people who don't pay their bills. I paid mine ahead of time Don't assume that everyone who dislikes this school is delinquent in their bills. I'm happy you like this school. I like most of the teachers but the director of the preschool in Salisbury and the owners are not up to the standards I expect for what I'm paying. They care more about money than the safety of my child.

Both of my children attended first the preschool then the upper campus. Reading the negative reviews was surprising to me. It's probrably a parent that wasn't able to pay the bill or their child was the issue. Ownership and principals are willing to talk with you when there is an issue.

My child is a middle school student at stepping stones. This has been the best school year ever. My child attended public school previously. I feel the my child is receiving the best education and the teachers are wonderful.

well, teachers are great especially at the infant through pre k. very friendly and the teachers are caring to the needs of the students. especially barbra brittingham. now for administration the right hand doesnt know what the left hand is doing. i have a child with a disability that has been going there for several years and has been treated excellent and learns well. he is being denied part time care. at first everything was going to be fine with it and i was told they would work with him but then all of a sudden the owner changed their minds. i just hope they realize that all the training and good work my child had there is going down the drain because of a personal issue. again dont get me wrong teachers are great and the children learn. i will really miss sending my children there

Great people but in the middle school there is no diciplin kids are not made accountable for their actions

Great school for lower grades. Higher grades theire is a real lack of diciplin. Teachers are great and what they learn is above public schools but students are not really made accountable for their actions.

I cannot even begin to express how wonderful the teachers and administration are at this school. My son transferred there mid-year after having a bit of a traumatic experience in the local public school. His first grade teacher at Stepping Stones is stellar as are all of the teachers. Not only is he receiving a better education than the public school could provide, the staff is all very caring and patient and treat each child as if they are their own. I would highly recommend this school to anyone...they are the best!
