Empowerment Through Education

Since its inception in the early 1970s, Stepping Stone has been driven by a singular, powerful mission: to ensure that every child has access to the education they deserve. What began as a dedicated effort to support indigent youth has naturally blossomed into a sanctuary for neurodiverse learners.

Today, we are proud to be recognized as a leader in specialized, inclusive programming that celebrates the unique strengths of every student.

A Legacy of Growth

Our history is marked by significant milestones that reflect our commitment to excellence:

• 1986: Solidified our mission by formally establishing as a non-stock, non-profit foundation.
• 2005: Expanded our reach through our vibrant Guadalupe Viejo campus.
• Today: We are now proudly rooted in the heart of Parañaque City, serving as a community hub for specialized learning.

More Than Just a Name
In 2013, we officially became the Center for Excellence in Special Education (Stepping Stone) Foundation, Inc. This name is more than a title; it is a reflection of our essence. We believe that education should be a "stepping stone" to a life of independence, confidence, and joy. At the Center for Excellence, we don’t just teach, we empower our students to navigate the world with skill and pride.

To provide a nurturing environment where neurodiversity is embraced and every milestone is celebrated.
