Here is just a short list of parent's testimonials about SSI

• Stepping Stones has been a great introduction to the world of formal education for Trisha. She says“I love my school” and to me that says it all. The team at Stepping Stones is very dedicated to their profession and believes they can make a difference which is why they really do.
  - Gita Lobo (Parent of Trisha Lobo)
• Stepping Stones has been an enriching experience for both my kids. The individual focus they got early in their first schooling years went a long way. The school more than lives up to it’s name– a true stepping stone for young tiny tots to get initiated into schooling.

• Dear Ms. Seetha and Ms. Mini,
  Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, affection and love that you gave to Nikita. We both have seen a remarkable difference in our daughter. Although she joined N1 class late in session but in a short time she learnt to sing, act, colour and write and has become very independent and confident and credit goes to the staff of‘Stepping Stones’. I highly refer the school to all my friends.

• Thank you, Stepping Stones!
  As parents, we have seen phenomenal changes in our twin daughters since they joined Stepping Stones three years ago. They jad just turned three when we came to SSI hunting for enrollment. While we were sitting in the Principal’s office, Daiti and Nishti simply walked into Nursery and there was no looking back from that point!
  We’re as hooked on to SSI as our daughters are! The fact that they’ve never once woken saying“ we don’t want to go to school” is testimonial enough about the SSI learning environment. Every teacher has been patient, understanding, encouraging, gentle and persevering. SSI also fosters regular interaction through PTA meetings and encourages participation in school activities.
  At the age of 5 years, Nishti became a fluent reader. Now 6 years old and in UKG, Nishti has moved on from Dr. Seuss to Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, poems and participates in children’s theatre! Daiti at the age of grew attracted to sports and at 6 years is now a budding swimmer, showing a talent for racquet, sports and is also into children’s theatre. We owe their confidence and growth to the teachers and staff of Stepping Stones. Academically speaking, the school also prepared our children thoroughly for some grueling entrance tests for grade school. At their age, our children have a vocabulary and firm grasp of number sense that we would confidently match against a student from any other school.
  Stepping Stones has always been a safe school, something we as parents are deeply grateful about. The professionalism and dedication of the staff are visible in the students they turn out. The students do the school tremendous credit. Kudos and compliments to the professionals of this school.
  We just wish you had classes up till the 12th grade!
  Three cheers!

• I have never seen such a wonderful Nursery School where creativity flows across each and every inch of the school. My daughter is blessed to have got such an opportunity to start her life.
  A child at the age of 3-4 is at the peak of grasping things and also wants to experiment with everything they see and this school seems to provide the perfect platform for the child to open its mind and start understanding.
  The teachers show such love and care to each child that it makes me wonder at times.
  Overall I see the school as an excellent, enthusiastic and entertaining school for budding children.

• We are indeed proud to be associated with Stepping Stones. We like the way this school receives each kid every morning. We wholeheartedly appreciate the school's efforts in getting Chetna out of Mommy's shell. When Chetna started off, there were very few who could really understand what she was trying to communicate. One can easily see a drastic improvement
  that these fourteen months have done to her. We believe these initial years definitely would be a "stepping stone" in her future.

  The assessments are designed very professionally to take care of all aspects. We also appreciate your efforts to tie up with Hypocampus and Sports village for inculcating the habit of reading and playing from an early age.

  Yoga is another good thing that can be introduced at an early age. Similarly we think that instead of focusing so much on writing the alphabets and numbers at a Nursery level, you could first introduce some free hand drawing like drawing fruits, flowers, etc. We are sure the children might enjoy doing this, as much as they are enjoying writing currently.

  Thanks,
  Lalitha & Balajee

• Stepping stones constantly endeavors initiating our children in their formative age. It leaves no stones unturned in bringing out the hidden potentialities of the children. We as parents feel great to associate ourselves with this institution in this joint effort.

• We were happy with the experience our 3 year old son had at Stepping Stone International. He looked forward to going to school each day. We saw a lot of positive change in just 2 months of his attending Stepping Stones. The staff is very friendly and supportive, and pays attention to the individual needs of each student. We were very impressed by effort the staff put in to make the annual show a big success.
  Thanks,

• Dear Stepping Stones,
  You have been a very dear part of our lives for the past 2 years (since Anushka started Nursery in 2004). We love the staff and the team at Stepping Stones for their enthusiasm, their commitment, their creativity and the sheer affection that they show to the kids. Anushka has loved every day that she has spent there and looks forward to another year of Ms. Seetha’s leadership and another year with her favorite teacher Ms. Chhavi.
  Thanks SSI!

• Stepping Stones has helped my son in enjoying academics as well as all other extra curricular activities and has also helped him in developing his freedom of expression and thought. His sense of camaraderie has also improved a lot. I would like to this opportunity to thank Stepping Stones, Ms. Seetha, and her team of dedicated teachers who have made all this possible.

• Stepping Stones has been a wonderful learning experience for Akshara and it has been a pleasure to watch her grow with and enjoy that experience. My heartfelt thanks to the teachers and Ms. Seetha for the attention, care and encouragement showered on the students.

• Madiha means“praiseworthy” and her school has helped her to live up to her name. Her teacher Chhavi’s effort has definitely brought out her better side, and will remain for the rest of her life.
  - Maisa Khan (Parent of Madiha)
• Stepping Stones has lived up to the expectations that we had, when we enrolled our daughter here. The special emphasis on learning the regular curriculum while at the same time ensuring that the child gets a healthy mix of cultural and outdoor sports exposure, is of great value to the all round growth of the child. The team of instructors/teachers at Stepping Stones is truly well trained and experts in their own field. All the best for a continued bright future!

• Stepping Stones International has contributed to the emotional, social and intellectual growth of children. With gradual persuasion and immense care and unique patterns of teaching the school has been able to ignite the inherent motivation to learn among children which will always prove to be a strong footing for following years of formal education.
  - Parents of Hita
• I expressed the difficulties of growing two children of same age and one a little weaker than the other (academically at least). Ample times, I met Seetha and Chaavi trying to find a way to address Rachana to meet the goals. We (Ms. Chaavi and myself) collectively identified Rachana’s weakness and plausible solutions; and at home I tried those tricks. This interactive relationship has helped Rachana to gear way ahead without many speed bumps. And - TODAY I SEE RACHANA NOTHING LESS THAN AN ACHEIVER AND SHINING IN ALL AREAS.
  I hope my kids will remember SSI, Seetha and Chaavi for their life time. I am sure they will have a bundle of treasure that awaits them in UKG and an always smiling teacher ARUNA! Thank you SSI and the teachers in providing such a treasure able and cherish able experience and memories.

• Dear Ms. Seetha,
  Arjun has had a wonderful year at Stepping Stones. I would like to thank you, Ms. Mini, Ms. Ashita, Ms. Pramodhini, all the teachers and staff for making his first year at school a memorable one.
  He loves to come to school and is excited whenever school is mentioned which clearly indicates that you have created a very warm, friendly and nurturing environment at school. He loves the little gate at the entrance which is a great idea.
  I wanted my child to be loved and have a good time at school for the first year at school and you have provided that with great abundance.
  Thank you once again.

• We moved from the USA in July 2005 and were hunting for a good school for our second son who finished LKG. We selected Stepping Stones after speaking with the principal. Our son was going through a tough time due to the transition and he found it difficult to cope up as he also joined late. He was fairing very bad in dictation. Now, thanks to Ms. Aruna’s commitment, patience, and compassion, he scores 25/25 in dictation, has mastered blending words in English and excels in Math. And just last week, he started reading story books. Our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Aruna and Stepping Stones for making it happen.
  Sincerely,
  Priya and K.R. Balaji (Parents of Sathvik)
