This was our 2nd Stepping Stone school. We moved to this one once we moved to Georgetown. We did not keep our son here long and if I had any other choice at the time, we would have removed him earlier.
We started in April-May of last year.
At the time the kid-teacher ratio was horrible. The teachers always looked worn out and no one ever seemed to know what was going on. Often times they came off irritated at the kids and I heard a few yelling at the children often. A few times my son's teacher seemed to lecture me that he didn't know how to wipe himself and she was having to do it. He had just turned 3 the month before! He could do it, but yes...you should check and make sure the 3 year old did it correctly.
We were one of the first to arrive each morning. The room was always filthy and the tables to eat breakfast on never looked like they were clean from day-to-day. It always smelled like dirty diapers. Pick up was always a surprise, as my son was never in the same room. I had to hunt for him. Luckily, it was a smaller building than our previous location. This is also the only location out of the 3 we have now been to, where no one EVER asked my name or verified I was allowed to pick up my child. Not even the first day! My husband and MIL also stated no one verified who they were the first time/s they picked up.
Another thing that was a little irritating but in the grand scheme is not important - The parking lot is tiny! Pickup sometimes took awhile to get a parking spot. The employees park up front and take up a handful of spots the parents should be parking in.
