About Us

Stepping Stones Montessori Academy is family owned and operated by myself, Casey and my husband Zach. We opened in August of 2018 to provide care for children of the Kamas Valley and Summit County. We have developed and evolved over the years enhancing our Montessori inspired childcare to become a Montessori School with a certified Montessori educator.

Stepping Stones spends every day outside and take the children hiking every week throughout the year. We observe children and follow their interests to design a program that fits the needs for all our students. Guides support families and their needs with exceptional communication and guidance.

I began my Early childhood career after my first son was born in Vail, Co in 2014. I went to school and received my ECE degree while working towards a business degree. We moved back to Summit County, Utah before our second child was born in 2017 and worked in a Montessori school which is where I found a passion for Maria Montessori and her philosophy.

When we opened SSMA I knew I wanted to someday get fully trained and become a certified Montessori Guide. I completed my course in the spring of 2024. We have transformed our classroom environment and will continue to educate and grow our program for our future students.
