Stepping Stones Early Learning Center in Greene, ME

Welcome to Stepping Stones

Since 2004, Stepping Stones Early Learning Center has been dedicated to providing high-quality childcare and early education to families in Greene and our surrounding towns. For more than two decades, we have nurtured young learners in a safe, caring, and engaging environment—and we are proud to have been recognized as the Best Early Learning Center in Lewiston/Auburn 6 times since 2018.

At Stepping Stones, we believe that good childcare depends on consistent, reliable caregiving in a center-based atmosphere where every child feels secure and supported. Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that children grow and learn best when they are given the freedom to explore, create, and communicate with both their peers and caring adults.

We are more than a daycare—we are a community. Our classrooms are designed to encourage discovery, hands-on learning, and social development, while our teachers provide the guidance and consistency children need to thrive. Families can feel confident knowing their children are in a safe, nurturing environment that values curiosity, creativity, and communication.

When you choose Stepping Stones, you’re joining a trusted early learning community with a long-standing reputation for excellence, where children are encouraged to take meaningful steps in their growth, learning, and development.

Best daycare around! They are very positive, upbeat and always aware of any situation. I am very happy I am bringing my children here! Chelsea Whitlock – Mom of Issabella Whitlock & Katina Murphy

Stepping Stones is Awesome! They are proactive in teaching our children valuable skills. The summer activities for the older school age children are untouchable as far as participating in MANY summer favorites of children. Absolutely love it. Farris family

My child has been going to Stepping Stones for the last 10 years. This facility has been a big part of my daughter’s life and I can say that she has been extremely happy there and we as the parents have felt at ease knowing our child was being taken care of by such great people. My daughter has been lucky to have Ms. Chris throughout the whole time she has been at Stepping Stones. Ms. Chris like others there is so caring and encouraging and my daughter loves her. I can say the same about the owner Ms Mandy. She does great activities throughout the year and schedules great summer activities and outings for the kids to keep things in interesting for both the younger and older kids. Ms. Mandy has a big heart and will help anyone at any time. I would certainly recommend Stepping Stones to anyone looking for child care at whatever age. Laurie, Chad, & Abbigale Pelletier
