Stepping Stones for Little feet
Story House Stepping Stones for Little Feet curriculum is an integrated, interconnected inquiry curriculum prioritising the authentic journey of a child’s unique learning and development pathway.
Our Stepping Stones curriculum is designed for your child as their little feet step through their learning and development milestones. The curriculum is designed to nurture your child’s cognitive, emotional, social, language and physical development by engaging with our highly skilled educators. Our curriculum is based on contemporary brain research and early childhood evidence-based practice inspired by the Circle of Security model and infant and toddler focused Educaring® approach.
Children thrive in early learning settings where adults interact with them in a warm, sensitive, responsive manner, the environment is physically and emotionally safe and language-rich, and everyday experiences promote social interaction, play, creativity, exploration and problem-solving.
Our learning program encourages each child to explore their world in a safe, supportive environment, promoting independence and creativity as they learn through play. Your child’s little feet will embark on exciting adventures with peers, building lasting friendships while developing essential life skills. We do this by providing key spaces for cuddles, special places to share conversations when eating, time to be an inquisitive explorer and creating learning opportunities for each child to develop skills and gain knowledge through our personal care moments.
