ABOUT US

We are here to help parents raise happy and healthy children

We all need support through the most important period of our children: the early years.

At Stepping Stones Child Care, we consider the first years of a child’s life to be the foundation for their physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral development.

We provide the right conditions for your child’s development in a safe, clean, friendly and stimulating environment.

We offer bilingual education and quality care in Walnut Creek for children ages 4 months to 5 years.

We believe that when we dedicate ourselves to the development of a child, we are creating a better society. We are part of this amazing construction.

We always do our best.

Day care Options

Age-specific support for every stage

Infant

The first years of a child’s life are when their foundations are built.
Each moment is an opportunity to learn, grow, and feel loved. At Stepping Stones Child Care, we provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Toddlers

The toddler stage is full of discoveries. In a safe, nurturing environment, children feel welcomed, loved, and encouraged to explore. They grow through play, social interaction, and hands-on learning, building confidence, curiosity, and independence.

Preschool

This phase is full of transitions. Children learn to manage their feelings, develop social skills, and gain independence. Feeling loved and supported is essential as they explore new activities, engage in group play, and build a strong foundation for future learning.

Testimonials

Fernanda Ramos

Hi neighbors, I was visiting a Daycare in our region for my 16- month-old daughter, and I got to know the Step Stones in Walnut Creek and I just loved it, the excellent space (two environments) the toys all strategically chosen for the children, because the owner’s husband he is an Occupational Safety Technician, and he made me feel more at ease, because I know my daughter will be safe. In addition, it has a beautiful and cozy outdoor space. It’s really good to know. Suellen (owner) +1(510) 426-1792 181 Saranap Avenue, Walnut Creek, CA

We are big fans of Suellen. Suellen was one of our son’s primary caregivers at his daycare in Richmond before she owned this daycare of her own.
