About this preschool

Stepping Stones Pre-School is a play-based preschool in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood with a multi-cultural curriculum focused on community engagement and hands-on learning. The school serves children ages 2 through 5 (including Transitional Kindergarten) across four age-appropriate classrooms.

Philosophy
Early childhood is a time of natural exploration and discovery. Young children learn through hands-on experiences and each child learns differently. Teachers scaffold each child's growth in a natural way to support their curiosities and turn them into lifelong learners. The main teaching philosophy is focused on the concept of community, helping children learn what it means to be part of a community and how they can contribute to it.
