Introduction

Stepping Stones Bilingual School operates a preschool campus in Auderghem, Brussels, catering to children aged 18 months to 6 years. The educational framework integrates Montessori and Reggio Emilia methodologies, emphasizing self-directed learning and artistic exploration. Instruction is provided by two native speakers in every classroom—one speaking English and the other French—ensuring constant bilingual immersion. A distinctive feature of the school is its "Forest School" initiative, where children take weekly trips to the nearby Soignes Forest to explore the natural environment and develop motor skills. The facility includes garden spaces designed for sensory play and light-filled classrooms equipped with specialized manipulative materials. Beyond the standard day, the school provides after-school workshops such as yoga, music, and culinary arts. This setting serves families seeking an international environment that combines structured language acquisition with a focus on creative and outdoor engagement.
