Delivering quality childcare to families in Adelaide CBD and surrounding areas

Our RAH early education and care facility consists of 5 main rooms and one large outdoor play space that all ages share. This provides a focus on a natural outdoor learning space within a building site. Take a sneak peek inside our centre below...

About the centre

At Stepping Stone RAH we are fortunate to be in a very unique and rare facility, providing the RAH staff and local community a new centre that offers spectacular views of the city.

Our centre is in the heart of Adelaide city allowing our children to be able to experience many educational opportunities within the community. The children regularly go on local walks and actively participate in the local activities that the city provides.

Our facility consists of 5 main rooms and one large outdoor play space that all ages share. We offer a number of veggie patches, fruit trees, a worm farm and natural resources. The children are able to look out at the local surroundings using our circular peepholes that are positioned along the wall of the outside yard.

We believe Stepping Stone RAH offers a place for a positive learning environment for children to develop and grow at their own pace. Allowing children and families to feel like they are part of our extended family and create lifelong memories.

Reflective of company priorities, our educators engage in a culture of critically reflecting on their practices to support continued growth within the centre. We aim to offer our families quality education and care from a team of highly trained professionals that are passionate about early childhood education.

Hear from families who have attended our Adelaide CBD childcare centre...

We love Stepping Stone RAH. Our son has been at the centre since he was six months old and the staff at Stepping Stone have treated him with so much love, patience and kindness. They have supported our family through many changes and we are just so grateful. The centre is clean, well organised, and has amazing outdoor space. There is a lot of diversity in the curriculum at all levels and staff are so invested in the development of each child. Highly recommend.

Could not recommend Stepping Stone RAH enough. Our little one loves going to childcare, as he gets exposed to new positive experiences every time he attends the centre and comes home showing off his new learnings. I was really worried about taking my boy to childcare at a very young age, but the Educators made me feel at ease with their professionalism and caring nature. We have been attending the centre for a while now and we feel his development and social skills have fast-tracked. Every time I drop him off I know he is in good hands.

Meet the Centre Director

Hello and welcome to Stepping Stone RAH Childcare & Early Development Centre.

My name is Karen Webber and I am the Centre Director at Stepping Stone RAH Childcare & Early Development Centre. It is with great pleasure that I would like to
introduce myself to you all.

I have been in the education and childcare industry since 2008. I completed my Bachelor of Education in Primary Teaching in 2007 and worked within schools, teaching in the early years, for 2 years, before moving into before care and after school care. In 2014 I made the change into childcare. From here I worked in a Kindergarten in China for two years as an English teacher. I obtained my Diploma in 2017, on my return and have continued in this career. I worked as a Team Leader in Melbourne for 2 years before returning home to Adelaide. I worked as a Team Leader and then the Early Childhood Teacher at Stepping Stone RAH from 2019 to 2022. In 2022 I was offered an opportunity to further my career and development by taking on the role of Centre Director at Rostrevor College Stepping Stone Early Learning Centre.

I have now been provided the opportunity to return to Stepping Stone RAH Childcare & Early Development Centre in the Centre Director role. This is an honour and a privilege to return to where my career started with Stepping Stone SA and continue achieving my career goals.

Here at Stepping Stone RAH Childcare & Early Development Centre, our inspiring educators are committed to positive outcomes for children by promoting play based learning and using the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standards (NQS) as our educational platforms.

I look forward to also forming a bond with Stepping Stone RAH Childcare & Early Development Centre with opportunities for both children and educators.

In my free time I enjoy doing some quilting and reading when I get an opportunity. I also enjoy looking after my garden. Recently I have enjoyed tackling some of the beautiful flower Lego’s from their Icon range.

My team and I look forward to working in partnership with your family to provide a safe, happy and caring environment where the best educational outcomes are possible for your child.
