Stepping Stone School Brings High-Quality Early Care and Education to Kyle's Plum Creek
AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) June 09, 2017 -- With the population boom in Hays County continuing, Stepping Stone School is pleased to announce the opening of a new state-of-the-art early care and education campus located in the Plum Creek master planned community of Kyle, TX. Stepping Stone School is renowned for its commitment to education, the community and the families of Kyle, TX who will now have a second campus providing high quality, educational child care. Stepping Stone School opened its new campus located at 1020 Lightfoot Street on June 5th.
“Research has demonstrated that children enrolled in high-quality, early care and education programs continue to reap the benefits long into their educational careers. We look forward to a wonderful partnership with each and every family and providing the nurturance, love and support each child deserves," said Rhonda Paver, Stepping Stone School founder and executive director.
This new campus provides a holistic, nurturing, and inclusive environment for all children which boasts classrooms designed using the latest research on learning environments, shaded and safe outdoor play areas, and enhanced security. In addition, the school is highlighting a ‘Literacy Grotto’ which gives children a glimpse into the history of writing materials and how paper shaped civilization. But most importantly, the students at the Plum Creek campus will benefit from Stepping Stone School’s nationally recognized Platinum Learning for Life™ curriculum.
Designed and built by Stepping Stone School’s own business development team, the new campus will continue the school’s tradition of creating innovative, environmentally sound spaces that inspire wonder and learning in the school’s students. For example, the campus features:
• The award-winning HATCH Technology interactive learning center and a Literacy Grotto filled with classic children’s literature.
• A hands-on S.T.E.A.M. curriculum room to pique children’s curiosity about how things work and introduce them to the endless possibilities of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
• The Atelier™ at Stepping Stone School Plum Creek is a unique and innovative concept designed to expand educational opportunities in the fields of art, design, building and architecture.
• Museum-quality installations where the children can examine a timeline reflecting the life of books.
• An overall museum-like environment that will provide a perfect setting where children will flourish and advance.
• Large naturally lit classrooms.
• Three age appropriate turfed playgrounds with exciting play and climbing structures for building large motor skills while exercising and having fun.
• An in-ground pool specifically designed for young children who are learning to swim.
Stepping Stone School at Plum Creek is now open and classrooms are filling up quickly with many children transferring from other Stepping Stone School campuses and pre-enrollments. Parents wishing to reserve their child’s place at this campus are invited to attend the Grand Opening on June 10th, between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
