Local Business Spotlight: Stepping Stone Education Center

Stepping Stone Education Center is a school for children from 6 weeks to 5 years in both part time and full time education. We are located in Franklin Commons Complex in Phoenixville. It is a wonderful, caring environment for your child! Please come and visit us.

OUR MISSION
The Stepping Stone Education Center accepts each and every child regardless of their educational or financial needs. We provide learning experiences to support each child’s individual intellectual, social, physical, emotional and spiritual growth in a safe and fun environment. We focus on the needs of the whole family by offering parent seminars, providing activities for families to enjoy together and connecting those families in need with local social service agencies.

The Stepping Stone Education Center is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.We provide the best opportunities for the children and their families, SSEC works closely with the Phoenixville Area School District, Chester County Intermediate unit, Center for the Arts and Technology, Valley Forge Christian College, Phoenixville Community Health Foundation and the Phoenixville Community Education Foundation. Over 1000 children have experienced a unique preschool education with SSEC!

“For more than twenty years, our mission has been to love each child for who they are, help them to grow into who they can be, share hugs and laughter every day and reach out to families whatever their need may be.”

OUR HISTORY
SSEC began in 1985 as an afterschool program adding the Happy Hearts Preschool classes in 1987. In the 2008 school year we moved from the First Presbyterian Church, our home for over twenty years, to our newly renovated school at Franklin Commons.

We are excited to offer full time and part time preschool for 80 children! Right now, we are hosting summer camps for preschool and school age children! In August, we open our arms to love infants, toddlers and two year olds with a new fulltime class!

With all of these wonderful changes it has enabled us to offer a richer, more comprehensive education to our preschool students. We view each child as a unique gift from God and believe that each child deserves to learn in a setting that enriches their lives while providing them the love and security they need. No child has been turned away regardless of their educational or financial needs. We reach out to help our families with any concerns they might have by connecting them with the services they need. We also feel it is important to stay connected with our alumni and their families. We believe the Phoenixville community enhances us in becoming a more effective school where our children can develop and grow. Therefore, we incorporate the community in our many of our activities.

Please call Mrs. Janet Hunter at 610-933-7710 for a tour and a time to meet our teachers, and visit our website at www.steppingstoneeducation.org. for class times and class prices.

Several Local Businesses Closing Up Shop

Over the next couple of months, three local businesses will be closing their doors. On Saturday, February 16th, Polka Dots will be closing their store at 246 Bridge Street. The shop, a women's clothing boutique, opened nearly two and a half years ago but has recently found business slow. --- Originally, (owner Susan) Randels said that the store was doing well, but that the momentum could not keep up. "The things that sold in Paoli didn't sell in Phoenixville," she said, adding that some customers thought that the store was too expensive or the sizing did not go high enough (size 12 being the highest size sold). "We tried everything." Randels also said that parking was an issue for many of her customers who could either not find spaces or did not feel safe parking behind the store. --- Polka Dots remains open until the 16th, with hours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 610-935-5914.

Barry Cassidy Addresses Downtown Rumors

Today's Phoenix ran an article written by Barry Cassidy in which he addressed the various rumors that have been circulating regarding the immediate futures of several local businesses. He paints a much rosier picture than some of the comments here would have you believe. From the article: --- On Monday someone came in and told me Molly Maguire's was closing. I knew that was not correct because they are expanding, not closing. Then about 20 minutes after than I heard from someone else that 101 was closing and the building was going to become a McDonalds. I knew that was not correct either. Marietu' Fanny from the crepe joint at Bridge and Gay called me and was upset that she heard someone at the business association meeting say she was closing... She went on to tell me that they were doing well... Then I heard probably the most outrageous rumor of all... Ellie's Choice is closing. Now think about this one, folks. Here, Ellie has been here for a long time, she was here ...
