Stepping Stones was created in June of 2003 through the hard work and dedication of Hollie Pearson and Jennifer Bockholt. They believed the Yankon community needed and deserved an educational and safe setting for infants thru age 5. Thier passion for children was well recieved by Yankton. Without a doubt, Stepping Stones needed to expand. They opened their new location at Morgen Square in December of '06 to accomodate the growing need for quality care in Yankton.

Stepping Stones is a licensed facilty that provides free, nutritious meals through the CACFP. Our menus are designed with the children in mind. We are very aware of the importance of a healthy meal!

Hollie and Jen were able to "look through the eyes of child" when designing the new facility. Stepping Stones is the only daycare in town to not only offer an outside playground with a sandbox, trike riding area, and climbers; but also an indoor play area for inclement weather. The children can ride trikes inside, play parachute, and dance and excercise to their heart's content.

Stepping Stones offers weekly themes to all the children. Projects, circle time, reading materials, and other learning activities are based on the theme. All our staff are educated to help your child prepare for kindergarten. We believe these young years in your child's life are some of the most important and influential. It is crucial for your child to feel safe and comfortable in their daycare setting in order to succeed.

Stepping Stones is the only licensed facility to offer extended hours in order to accomodate the working parent. Both parents and single parents working is on the rise. Choosing Stepping Stones for their nurturing staff, educational setting and field trips, indoor play area, outdoor playground, and healthy meals are just some of the ways to start your child on the right path.
