Stepping Stones Home Child Care, Inc. – Joliet

A typical day at Stepping Stones is structured, not strict, in
having time for both active and quiet play, snacks, meals, and
any homework assignments.  Everyday, a large-print schedule
is posted with the date, weather, meals & snacks, and 
activities of the day.  In addition, a “Look What I Did Today!”
hand-out goes home with each child, letting you, the parent,
know what your child has accomplished that day.

There are four things that make Stepping Stones Home Child
Care a great place to be:

• Balanced home cooked meals and nutritious snacks promote healthy eating habits.  A wide variety of healthy foods are offered daily.  A meal calendar is sent home weekly to help detect and prevent food allergies.
• We know that every parent doesn’t work from nine to five and we also know what it is like to need five more minutes at the office, or be stuck in traffic.  Therefore, our lenient pickup and drop off times give parents extra minutes without extra fees.
• Every child makes mistakes or is naughty at times.  We believe persistency, reasoning, compassion, and encouragement has more of an effect than punishments.
• The combination of active and quiet play allows children to be rid of their energy and to give them the “down-time” they need in order to focus and relate to others in the group.
