Conscious Discipline
Conscious Discipline is a research based comprehensive self-regulation program that combines social and emotional learning with discipline and guidance. Built on a foundation of current brain research, the school family is constructed from safety, connection, and problem solving. The tools in our classrooms help create a school family where children feel safe, loved, and begin to problem solve with the executive part of their brain on a regular basis. Conscious Discipline empowers adults to consciously respond to daily conflict, transforming it into an opportunity to teach critical life skills to children. The school family increases connections between adults and children at all levels, ensuring optimal development and learning for all. A school family culture is built through consistent modeling of routines, rituals, and structures.
“Self-regulation is the key to school readiness and more powerful than IQ as a predictor of academic achievement.”
– Becky Bailey, PhD
Thematic Lessons
The thematic lessons are theme-based, such as “Opposites,” “All About Me,” and “Friends.” Max, a plush puppet, is an integral member of the classroom; he helps welcome friends to school and enjoys singing and dancing with all the children.
The Brightwheel App
The Brightwheel app allows our educators to communicate with parents throughout the day. Our parents are updated daily regarding diaper changes, meals, pictures, and the dispositions of our students.
Our toddlers enjoy our outdoor play area at least twice a day. Each classroom has their own playground to enjoy with grassy area, a covered porch area, climbing equipment, sand box, push toys, and much more!
Enrichment Programs
Stepping Stones Preparatory Academy understands that each student is a unique individual who possesses a different kind of mind. Therefore, each student understands, performs, and remembers in different ways.
Our students have the opportunity to not only learn in the normal classroom setting but also rotate on a daily basis to other specialty rooms to enjoy learning through Spanish, physical education, music, and chapel. Contact us today for more information on our curriculum.
