Does The Stepping Stone Daycare accept the Florida Private School Scholarship?
Not as of October 28, 2026: the state file does not flag The Stepping Stone Daycare for the FTC/FES-EO Private School Scholarship. A school can join by registering with a scholarship funding organization, so ask the admissions office whether it plans to, and whether any FES-UA or PEP payment is possible for its programs.
Christian schools commonly offer church-member pricing, sibling discounts or sponsorship funds; the Edu Fund partner scholarship is available at some participating church and community schools.
