Our Stepping Stones Story
Stepping Stones Child Care Centers adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood education. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave our preschool, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.
Meet Stepping Stones Regional Admin
Hello there, my name is Samantha Schrader and I am grateful for the opportunity to be the Regional Admin for stepping stones Preschools.
I have been working in early childhood education since 2011 and have been a part of the Stepping Stones family since August 2015. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, preschool/Pre-K, and school-age children.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, my Director’s Credential, and my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. I am also continuing my education by working toward completing my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Development.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time on the small hobby farm where I live and making memories with my two children and our animals. Our family loves riding horses, fishing, and enjoying the great outdoors.
My favorite part of working in childcare is building relationships with children and families and having the opportunity to watch children grow, learn, and reach new milestones. I am excited to continue serving the families in our community and look forward to being a part of each child’s early learning journey!
Meet Stepping Stones Regional Director

I hold my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and Director’s Credential, and I am currently pursuing my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am passionate about early childhood education and truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, participating in demolition derbies, and making memories with my three children and my spouse. Our family loves racing, being outside, and enjoying time together.
I am excited to continue serving the families in our community, building strong relationships, and watching Stepping Stones of Troy continue to grow. I look forward to getting to know each of you and being a part of your child’s early learning journey!
Our Mission
Guiding Dreams, Igniting Curiousity
Our childcare centers put child-centered learning and quality education before all. We believe in providing a nurturing and holistic approach to early childhood education. Our mission is built on a foundation of love, care, and deep understanding of children's needs during these crucial formative years.
Why enroll your child in our preschool?
Preschool and early childhood education offer numerous benefits for a child's development. These ages are vital for cognitive, social/emotional, and physical development. At Stepping Stones, your child will begin to learn independence, step further into their creativity, and become one with the diversity their home away from home has to offer.
Our school provides a nurturing, stimulating environment where children can develop academically, socially, emotionally, and physically, setting them on a path for success in school and life.
