Celebrating Excellence in Education!

At Stepping Stone School, our commitment to excellence continues year after year through our dedication to professional growth, continuing education, and lifelong learning.

Our 34th Annual Conference for educators and administrators is a meaningful tradition and an important part of our ongoing commitment to providing the very best educational experiences for the children and families we serve.

This year’s conference was especially inspiring, featuring an extraordinary group of speakers who shared their knowledge, vision, and expertise:

Rhonda Paver, MA — Owner & Founder of Stepping Stone School

Daniel Turner — Architect, B.E.D., Bachelor of Environmental Design

Christopher J. Lemons, Ph.D. — Professor of Education, Graduate School of Education at Stanford University and world-renowned education expert

We are incredibly grateful for the wisdom, inspiration, and fresh perspectives shared throughout this special day. Our educators and administrators left energized, inspired, and ready to continue growing in their profession.

Because at Stepping Stone School, excellence is not simply a goal, it’s an ongoing commitment.
