Welcome to our new Stepping Stones’ After School Program! It is our hope and intention to provide a solution for after school care for Watertown families as they navigate the Free Pre-K and wait lists for after school at their local schools.

We will be offering after school care for Pre-K students from 2:00-5:00 and Kindergarten students from 2:30-5:00.

At this time, we are not able to offer care on early release days and during WPS vacation weeks. However, as we go through the year, if our staffing permits, we will extend this out to families.

Applications will be accepted starting Thursday, August 8th and will be entered into our Lottery System. Families will be notified by August 14th.

All Fees and Deposits are non-refundable. $50 application fee can be mailed in or dropped off with the application. Checks should be made payable to Stepping Stones. For those that will be enrolled, a last month security deposit and forms will be due August 19th. The Pre-K daily rate is $36 and the Kindergarten daily rate is $30. Tuition will be billed monthly and due on the first of each month. All those not enrolled initially will be placed on a wait list for the current school year.

Our after school teachers are part of our full day program, licensed by the Department of Early Education & Care. Please note that Stepping Stones is a private school and we do not have the staffing to offer individualized care for students that may require one-on-one.

Transportation will be the responsibility of the parent. Stepping Stones will not provide transportation to/from after school.
