"The world needs different kinds of minds to work together."

- Temple Grandin

OUR STORY

Stepping Stone has come a long way since its creation in the early 1970s. At the start the goal was to provide education for indigent children. Overtime, more neurodiverse students became a part of the student body which earned a reputation for the school's neurodiverse programmes.

In 1986, Stepping Stone was finally formed as a non-stock, non-profit foundation. Then in 2005 the foundation moved to Bernardino street in Guadalupe Viejo until 2005. Now, Stepping Stone is situated in the heart of Paranaque city.

The foundation changed its name in 2013 to Center for Excellence in Special Education (Stepping Stone) Foundation, Inc. which reflects the school's essence.

Empowering Neurodiverse Minds, Unlocking Every Child's Potential

HOW DO WE SERVE OUR COMMUNITY?

At Stepping Stone, we are dedicated to nurturing children with mild to moderate cognitive differences by tailoring the general education curriculum to meet their unique needs.

We are driven to equip these children with essential life skills and basic literacy, empowering them to become active and contributing members of society.

Our team of special education teachers provides personalized instruction across pre-school, elementary, and pre-vocational levels. We cater to a diverse range of disabilities, including Specific Learning Disabilities, Speech Language Impairments, Multiple Intellectual Disabilities, Orthopedic Impairments, Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Williams Syndrome, and other related developmental impairments.

We pride ourselves on promoting inclusivity, welcoming children from all backgrounds. Our innovative socialized tuition fee model ensures that education remains accessible: students who can afford to pay in full do so, while scholarships are available for those in need.

We believe in every child's potential to thrive and succeed.
