Stepping Stones School NJ

Unique Learning Style Designed for Each Child

For decades, Stepping Stones School, a NASET School of Excellence, has empowered children ages 3 to 12 with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities through a fun, personalized, and therapy‑infused educational program that helps every child thrive. A New Jersey Department of Education–approved private school, Stepping Stones provides a nurturing environment where students are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally at their own pace, guided by an experienced interdisciplinary team.

Instruction at Stepping Stones is built around an individualized, multisensory curriculum designed to meet each child’s unique learning style and developmental needs. Small, low student‑to‑teacher ratio classes allow for meaningful, hands‑on instruction and the seamless integration of therapeutic supports. Students receive speech, occupational, and physical therapy, along with social‑emotional support, woven directly into the school day to reinforce learning and skill development across settings.

The school’s thoughtfully designed environment includes a sensory room and hands‑on learning spaces that promote engagement, regulation, and exploration. Stepping Stones operates a year‑round program, including a summer session, offering continuity and consistency for students and families throughout the year. Stepping Stones School creates a supportive foundation that helps every child build confidence, independence, and essential life skills.
