Story House STRONG Beginnings curriculum focuses on building foundation skills for children to be successful in early childhood, school, and life.

Stepping Stones for Little Feet

Our Stepping Stones curriculum is designed for your child as their little feet step through their learning and development milestones. 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.

At the heart of our services are caring Early Childhood Educators who take the time to truly know and nurture your child. Through warm, responsive, and meaningful interactions, children feel safe, supported, and valued. In this secure and language-rich environment, everyday experiences become opportunities for joy, connection, and discovery. Whether through play, creativity, exploration, or problem-solving, your child is encouraged to grow in confidence, build friendships, and thrive in their early learning journey.

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.

Resilient learner through responsive caregiving

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do, our curriculum is based on the internationally renowned Circle of Security model, where you will partner with your child’s primary educator, supporting your child to feel safe and secure to grow, learn and thrive. This approach reduces stress for both a child, educator, and you as we partner with you from your child’s first day. Educators create nurturing interactions, purposefully supporting your child to build confidence, develop language and understand how to play and learn with others.

Learning life skills through everyday moments

We embrace the Educaring® approach, which focuses on the individual child’s unique temperament, interests, and developmental stage. This approach encourages responsive caregiving, promoting an atmosphere filled with warmth, understanding, and respect as your children develops skills like feeding themselves, independently looking after their belongings to learning life skills like applying sunscreen. By attuning to your child’s cues and fostering a sense of belonging, we aim to inspire curiosity and support meaningful learning experiences through everyday care moments, such as through mealtime.

Curious learner through exploratory play

By nurturing child’s innate spark of curiosity and adventure in our dynamic infant and toddler curriculum, educators explore the rich potential that your child brings to every learning situation. Curiosity, wondering, questioning, and discovering enables your child to learn through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events and ideas. We believe in a holistic approach to learning, where every ounce of their being, heart, mind, senses, and emotions comes alive in the thrilling process of exploration alongside our teaching teams.

Confident communicators

Being able to communicate is fundamental to children’s everyday lives, including their ability to express their ideas and feelings, to question, to learn, to connect and interact with others. Your child’s language exploration will be strengthened through experiences such as storytelling, role-playing, reading, singing rhymes, and talking with educators. Through these approaches, educators create a nurturing atmosphere where infants and toddlers can thrive through language and literacy, laying the foundations for their future communication abilities.
