New Beginnings Learning Academy We are inspired by our family and strive to provide you with a second home for your children. The four-classroom school was originally named Stepping Stones.

New Beginnings Learning Academy was originally located on Bennett Street in Middletown, NY. In 1996, Stepping Stones experienced a financial decline resulting in the selling of the building and business. Nicola Parrotta, the school's present owner, purchased the school with only thirty students enrolled. The name was changed from Stepping Stones to New Beginnings so as to foreshadow the start of a child’s education. Due to rapidly increasing enrollment, it was time for a bigger, new location. In 1998, the old Albert Street School building was purchased from the City of Middletown. The brand new location opened its doors to the community on January 4, 1999. With dedication to each individual child, the school now has a student population of over 200 enrolled students during the academic year and up to 100 children during the Summer Program.

Learning goes beyond the classroom! 🌱

From our Cereal Box Domino Challenge with ShopRite, where all food was donated to local food pantries, to a Teddy Bear Clinic with Torro College and their doctors, our students explored problem-solving, compassion, and community connection through hands-on experiences.

Just another reminder that some of the best learning happens when little minds get to do big things. 💚

The best learning happens when little hands are busy. 🎨🧪🌱 Through art, experiments, play, and discovery, every moment becomes an opportunity to grow. Hands-on learning isn’t just fun—it builds confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. 💛

Here’s a look at what our students have been up to as they’ve learned, explored, and grow this summer! ☀️
