Stepping Stones Academy II

VPK News:  The VPK program at Stepping Stones Academy 2
is FREE from 8:30am to 12:30pm!

Our VPK program (at Stepping Stones Academy 2) is now free from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm for VPK program participants for the 2019-2020 school year plus breakfast and lunch is included at no additional cost!  We are committed to helping children learn and grow and believe the extra hours each day better prepare them to enter kindergarten.

Of course we still provide our "wrap-around" hours for those who need additional care for their children before 8:39 am and/or after 12:30 pm.   Learn more about the VPK program in Okeechobee County, here.  You can register for VPK here.

Welcome to Stepping Stones Academy II, where learning is fun!

Stepping Stones Academy II preschool started as a day care center. In 2004, the Stepping Stones Academies were purchased.

We are NECPA accredited and hold the Gold Seal Quality of Care, the highest quality rating issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

From our clean, bright classrooms—the safe and shady Perma-Grass playground, to our spacious specialty playgrounds featuring a basketball court, soccer field and pavilion allowing for endless hours of outdoor fun for school-aged children, we are all about bringing the best "trends in education" to your child and family. 

At Stepping Stones Academy II your child will enjoy the excitement of learning while making friends and special childhood memories, all in a wholesome setting.  Please visit our Okeechobee, Florida preschool and learn more about all we have to offer.

To put it simply, we are passionate about your child!

We know that a love of learning is caught rather than taught. The interactions with our students foster academic support, discovery of individual gifts and respect for one another, assuring a great start in life.

We are committed to educational goals of excellence.

Our “whole child” focus ensures each child is encouraged and nurtured to grow socially, physically, academically and spiritually. Through a warm secure environment, each child gains confidence and self-respect, forming close bonds with adults and peers.

We utilize a multi-sensory, integrated curriculum as a framework, and provide state-of-the-art classrooms and playgrounds rich in literacy and discovery opportunities.

We look forward to introducing your child to a lifetime of learning.

Many of us hold Associate or Bachelor Degrees or the nationally recognized CDA Credential. We are CPR and First Aid Certified, closely screened by the Department of Children and Families, and regularly participate in continuing education.

We are pleased to provide your child:

• Breakfast, lunch and a snack
• Perma-Grass playground
• Computers
• Music-Art
• Summer Camp
• Transportation from local elementary schools for school age children
• Safe Harbor Web Cam for Parents
