Our Journey and Commitment

Our Journey and Commitment

Stepping Stones Academy Harrisburg was founded with the vision of creating a unique and nurturing learning environment for children. Our mission is to provide exceptional child care that not only supports the development of foundational life skills but also fosters a love of learning through imaginative play. We believe in the importance of creating a safe and engaging space where children can explore, discover, and grow.


Our Director, Laura Fitzpatrick, brings eleven years of experience in the field of education. With a Bachelor's degree in Middle Childhood Education Mathematics and English Language Arts, a Master's in Special Education, and a Doctorate in Inquiry-Based Learning, Laura has dedicated her career to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment. Assistant Director Christy Euske also brings nearly two decades of experience working with children. Her background includes supporting children in foster care, volunteering in school classrooms, and engaging in various community activities. Christy is a proud mother of four and is deeply committed to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for both staff and students.


At Stepping Stones Academy Harrisburg, our goal is to prepare each child for the next stage of their educational journey by providing a strong foundation of life skills and a love of learning. We are excited to partner with families in Central Pennsylvania to create lasting memories and positive experiences for their children.
