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.

The Grandparent's Club was initiated in 2003 with great success! For a suggested donation ($50-$100 per year per grandchild), grandparents and other extended family members can join this club. They receive a monthly newsletter, greeting cards and artwork handmade by their grandchild, and their names posted on the Grandparent’s Club Board and in the newsletter.
Last year’s club boasted 35 very delighted members!! Also- this club has a new name. It is now known as "SS Friends" and available to all sorts of friends and family members. |
