Description Of Center:

The purpose of Stepping Stones Early Learning Center is to provide quality childcare at affordable prices. To accomplish these ends the center provides a safe, consistent and enriched environment where developmentally appropriate activities encourage exploration and hands on learning. Qualifications: Our teachers exceed the requirements set by the State of Maine for qualification and annual training. Teachers and teacher assistants are required to take 30 additional hours of training each year. All staff members are required to obtain certification in CPR and First Aid. Philosophy: Stepping Stones provides children with a nurturing, safe, and secure environment that utilizes a child-centered curriculum. This curriculum is based on the emotional, physical, and cognitive needs of the individual child. The developmental needs of the child are used to determine appropriate activities carried out with that child. Because children grow and develop at different rates, this approach offers them the opportunity to explore each area of development at their own pace. Center staff members create an atmosphere of support and affection as well as providing the materials, equipment and experience required to optimize the experiences of each child. They also serve as examples to the children, since children learn as much by observing others as they do by direct instruction. The teaching staff members act as facilitators rather than directors of activities.
