A Stepping Stone Foundation

Transforming lives through quality two-generation education.

Founded in 1989, A Stepping Stone currently collaborates with Alhambra, Isaac and Synergy School Districts to provide three preschool classes for a total of 60 three- and four-year-old preschool children, 39 younger siblings, and adult education for the parents. Our Preschool: We provide a tuition free, high quality, developmentally appropriate preschool program. It is comprehensive and creates su

ccess for children at risk of school failure due to literacy issues. Family Literacy: We ensure family success by requiring the parents to attend: tuition free adult education classes, parental classroom participation and parenting classes. Further supports include home visiting and tuition free child care and enrichment for the younger siblings of our preschool students. Our Community: We further ensure success by: providing our preschool children with meals in partnership with the hosting school district, partnering our preschool program with colleges and local organizations to assist family literacy by providing adult education, and reaching as many preschool children as possible through blended funding streams. Our Success: We reward and continue to promote family literacy by providing post secondary education opportunities to our former preschoolers who are now high school graduates, by enabling access to college through our college scholarship fund.

Learning can happen anywhere, and some of the most meaningful lessons happen outside the classroom. 📚🌿✨

✨ So much to celebrate 💛🎓

We’re incredibly proud of all the families who reached this milestone through our LEAF Program alongside and 🙏🏽📚

What makes this journey so special is that it’s about so much more than preschool. Through two-generation education, families are supported along a pathway of growth. From early learning and parent education to long-term opportunities that can lead to higher education, career pathways and a stronger future for the whole family. 🌱✨

Watching both parents and children learn, grow, and support one another along the way is a beautiful reminder of why this work matters so deeply.

To all the parents, students, teachers, and partners who make this possible, thank you. Your dedication and belief in education continue to create lasting impact for generations to come. 🩵

Together, we are empowering families and building brighter futures. 💫
