Our mission is to provide a positive,
explorative and child-centered environment that promotes creativity,
inner-discipline, independence, problem-solving skills, and positive relationships with peers and caregivers.

Our Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) offers five alternatives for financial assistance to families wanting to enroll their children. The Parent Participation Fund, Scholarship Fund, Work Scholarship Fund, the Emergency Fund and Child Care Assistance Reimbursement Fund.
Participation in this program requires a completed application and proof of family income. The TAP is currently providing assistance to 12 families (16 children), which accounts for approximately 24% of our enrollment.

The Parent Involvement Program (PIP) helps Stepping Stones promote, track and acknowledge parent involvement here at the school. Each family is encouraged to provide 10 hours of volunteer service per year. We highlight their commitment and efforts in the monthly newsletter. Since initiating this program, parent involvement has increased substantially. We recorded over 600 PIP hours during last fiscal year from our very busy parents.

SS Friends SS Friends is a great way for our grandparents,
extended family members, and friends who don't live in Crested Butte to
become involved with Stepping Stones. In addition to receiving our
newsletter every month, members will also receive photos and art from their
favorite little students for only $100 per child. Do you know someone who
would like to join? Give us their name and address and we'll send them
information on joing the club. |
