Our son went to school at Stepping Stone from 3-12 months. We are so grateful for the care he received there. Devin and Jessica's leadership helped him develop skills in all sorts of fun and interesting ways. We are especially appreciative of his teachers: Ariana, Ashley, Bella, Nardy, and Sadie. We knew he was going to be loved and cared for every day and have lots of opportunities to learn and make friends. A change in work schedule led to his un-enrollment; we are really going to miss this place.Thank you to the Stepping Stone Mueller team!

My Son started in the Senators room (12-17 months) at Stepping stone in March and we had a rocky start after the director abruptly left. The new campus principal Mrs. Devin is incredible! She used to be the quality control specialist for Curriculum at Stepping Stone Main office and has made substantial leaps implementing learning activities daily. My son started coming home with projects every day, they did fun things outside playing with water and improving their motor skills. He started saying more words and speaking sign language. He spoke no words and in 3 weeks said Agua, more, good, go, bye and his communication skills improved dramatically. He loves his teacher Mrs. Vanessa and she has really nurtured him and allowed him to feel safe and cared for. I love their tadpoles app that lets me know everything he did that day as well as receive photos of their fun activities. Jessica McCrary the assistant principal has been in our son's classroom to fill the gap while they onboard the new teacher and she is also incredible! She knows every kid and baby's name and she is sweet, helpful, and attentive to parents. This is my first son and first experience with daycare and they have taken care of my neurotic first time mom obsessiveness! I am grateful for the care and support and my son absolutely loves going to school every day.

After 4 months into a new school, I can't believe I let my child go to Stepping Stone.

We love Stepping Stone School-Mueller. Our little one has been attending for 8 months, and she has built very good relationships with all of her teachers. Ms. Tiara (Principal) & Ms. Julia (Asst. Principal) are welcoming and responsive to any questions that we've had as our LO has developed. What sold us on Stepping Stone School was the curriculum. Our LO even impressed the pediatrician with her vocabulary at the 12 month check up! Choosing a daycare can be really tough. I'm glad we found Stepping Stone - Mueller!

We had our kids at Stepping Stone and always felt our kids were very well supported and cared about by the staff. The general space is clean and tidy while still kid-focused. Our youngest who just moved on to AISD was most recently with Mr. Kody who I cannot say enough glowing things about. Besides his commendable aptitude for working with kids, his genuine enthusiasm and positive spirit kept our child happy, engaged and sprinting through the hall to his class each and every day. (We miss him and the school!)

I just wanted to take a minute to praise your Mueller campus. Our daughter has been attending the school since February, she is in the infant class. Ms. Jacquie and Ms. Julia are truly gems!We came to Stepping Stone after we realized our first daycare was not a safe space for our daughter, and have felt so welcome here. Ms. Jacquie has certainly juggled her fair share of parents and our various levels of neediness with patience, understanding, and kindness. Always greeting us and the children by name and with a smile.Ms. Julia is hands down the best teacher we have had - she truly cares for the kids and is always quick with a solution and a smile to any issue. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her interactions with our daughter and the other kiddos she cares for. We have never questioned whether our daughter was cared for with these two!

My daughter spent three months in the infant room at Stepping Stone while we were on the waitlist at another daycare. It got the job done, but the excessive turnover (100% of caregivers and administrative staff in 3 months) created concerns about how the company treats its employees, which affects the quality of care. We had several caregivers who were wonderful and loved on our daughter, but they were not well-supported (often overwhelmed with a high child-to-caregiver ratio) and, I imagine, not well-paid. We used it as an interim solution, and the caregivers appear to do the same until they find a better opportunity, and I don't blame them! The problems seem to come down from corporate and create a toxic environment.

Mr. Kody (chemist class) is amazing!!! He is so wonderful with the kids and they absolutely love him! He gives each child the individual attention that they need while maintaining control of the rest of the class and setting up or doing the next activity. Absolute hero ❤️

Our daughter has been in Stepping Stone since she was 3 months old (now 16 months) and we truly love the school, the staff, and what they stand for. Choosing to go the daycare route was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make and our experience with this school has been overwhelmingly positive. My daughter has loved her teachers and benefitted greatly from the social interaction with other kids. Even throughout this pandemic, the staff has been flexible, communicative, and optimistic. The few concerns I have expressed in the last year have been carefully listened to and addressed immediately. We are so thankful to Stepping Stone for providing a safe, loving place for our daughter to be during the day.

We absolutely love the team at Stepping Stone Mueller! They go above and beyond every time! I am a worrier and have lots of questions (lots!), but the principal, Lauren, always responds quickly and kindly. We love the Tadpoles app that they use so that we can see photos and videos throughout the day of our son playing and learning. The teachers are all very nurturing and obviously take great joy from working with their students. It has been a scary and anxious time to become a new mom and have to go back to work, but I've had zero reservations about who takes care of my son, and that means the world to us!

We were very nervous sending our baby to day care for the first time but she has transitioned beautifully at Stepping Stone Mueller/UT. It helps that we get a picture every day of the activities she's doing and friends she's meeting there. We really appreciate her teachers, Ms. Helen, Ms. Liliana and Ms. Daisy. They take good care of our girl. The principal, Ms. Lauren, is very responsive to emails which is helpful.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stepping Stones Mueller! They have the BEST teachers ever! As a new parent I was very concerned about sending my 12 week-old little girl off to daycare, especially during COVID. The staff has gone above and beyond to care for my little girl and make my husband and I very comfortable with everything you worry about as a new parent. Their communication has been incredible during these unprecedented times and their attention to detail on keeping the kiddos safe has been so comforting (this coming from a nurse). Also, they just truly love on your child. My daughter lights up with a huge smile when she sees any of the teachers there (even with masks!). They send pictures to me while at work of all of the wonderful things she is doing developmentally. So, although I can't be around her during the work day, there is no where else I would rather her be than at Stepping Stones Mueller!
