Private Pay Policy

In 2017, Stepping Stones implemented a private pay policy for our recreation programs. Payments for services must be completed in full prior to the service date in our Saturday Club, Weekend Respite and Summer programs. 

This private pay policy allows Stepping Stones to best prepare for staffing and client needs. Payments can be made by credit card by calling our Billing Dept. at (513) 965-5105 or mailing a check to 5650 Given Road, Cincinnati, OH 45243.

Private Pay Arrangements

As part of our private pay policy, Stepping Stones gives families the option to make a payment arrangement for services. Those wishing to make a payment arrangement must complete appropriate form and return to us by mailing to 5650 Given Road, Cincinnati, OH 45243 or faxing to (513) 248-1860.

Our billing department will be able to provide you with the necessary form but if you need a replacement, they can be found below:

• Summer Day Camp Form
• Respite, Saturday Club and Summer Overnight Staycation Form
