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 can always do our best.

Why Parents Trust Us Testimonials
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

My 23mo old son loves his daycare. They provide such a loving, and exciting environment for the kids. I feel like I’m leaving him with family. He eats healthy food there, cooked daily. He loves his friends and asks about all of them every day. He even asks if he can go to daycare on weekends 🙂 I would recommend them to anyone. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your little one, this is it!!

Stepping stones is a great daycare! Suellen and William take such good care of all the kids, they have activities and a set schedule for their lunch and naps, which is super helpful for us parents. Our son loves it, he’s made friends and usually comes home in a good mood after daycare. We are very lucky to have found Suellen and William. I would recommend Stepping Stones to any parent looking for a safe, happy and welcoming environment for their kid. 5 stars no doubt!

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.
Akiko Barton
Our son has been attending Stepping Stones since he was five months old. He’s just over two now, and we couldn’t be happier with the loving and attentive program. Our 4-year-old has attended a few days as well. Suellen is excellent with kids of all ages. She’s great with communication and provides the children with an engaging and educational environment. Highly recommend..
