BOSTON, Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Stepping Stones Group, a leading national provider of therapeutic, behavioral and autism services to children in educational, home and community settings, has made the Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies, for the sixth time. The Stepping Stones Group has earned the rank of No. 2208 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list. The Stepping Stones Group is majority-owned by Five Arrows Capital Partners.

"We are honored to have earned a spot on this list once again and to be recognized for our tremendous growth after an unprecedented year, '' remarked Tim Murphy, CEO of The Stepping Stones Group. "I want to thank our amazing team for their unwavering commitment to our mission of transforming the lives of children, families and communities together. "

The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
