Teachers Who Know Your Child

The heart of every school is its teachers, and ours show up every day with warmth, patience, and real skill. Meet the people who will know your child's favorite book, their proudest moments, and exactly how they like to say goodbye at drop-off.

More Than Warmth, More Than Credentials

Great early childhood teachers need both heart and craft: the warmth that makes a child feel safe and the skill to turn an ordinary morning into a morning of learning. We take real care in selecting dedicated, nurturing professionals who bring both, because talented, caring teams are the reason families trust us.

Behind every classroom

Supported Teachers, Steady Classrooms

Ongoing Training

Every teacher completes their state’s required training hours each year, plus continuing professional development through ProSolutions. The learning never stops for the grown-ups either, and children feel the difference.

A Team Behind Them

Directors, regional leaders, and a dedicated support team handle the behind-the-scenes work, so teachers can pour their energy where it belongs: into the children in front of them.

A Culture of Kindness

Kindness isn’t just something we teach children, it’s how our teams treat each other. Teachers who feel valued and supported create classrooms that feel exactly the same way.

Room to Grow

Many of our directors and leaders grew up inside our schools professionally. When your child’s teacher sees a future here, your child gets someone invested for the long haul.

Every Day, All Day

The Moments Between the Moments

Anyone can plan a lesson. What sets a great teacher apart is everything in between: the warm greeting that starts a child’s day right, the extra minute with a shy new friend, the way they remember whose grandma visited last weekend and ask about it.

Those small moments are where trust is built, for children and for you. They’re why a child runs into the classroom instead of clinging at the door, and why pickup comes with a story instead of a shrug. We hire for those moments, train for them, and notice when our teachers deliver them, because they’re the real job.

Why Our Families Trust Us

Kristen Mcintire
Millennium Academy
"As a parent, leaving your children in someone else’s care can be difficult, especially when they are so little. Our School has always given us peace of mind knowing that our children are safe, loved, cared for, and treated like family. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the children and their well-being, and it shows in the way they interact with them every day. We have watched our children grow, learn, become more independent, and build relationships with their teachers and friends. I am so thankful for the wonderful memories and experiences they have given both of my children. Choosing childcare is such an important decision, and I would recommend Millennium Academy to any parent looking for a place where their child will be genuinely cared for and loved. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing daycare for our family!”
Elizabeth P.
5 Star Childcare Learning Center
"I am grateful I have found this amazing daycare for my child. After I toured a few others, this is the only one that caught my eye. Everyone else rushed through the tours, did not seem enthusiastic, some were not very organized, and some classes seemed too crowded which did not seem very safe. I also never heard back from them for follow ups on enrollment. After looking online for some other options, I came across 5 Star, hoping that it would not be like these others. I was glad I reached out. Ms. Nicole called me within minutes to schedule a tour on that very same day which was so convenient for me. Throughout the tour Ms. Nicole answered my questions and explained everything thoroughly in great detail. After my tour I immediately decided this is where my daughter will be going to pre-k. I’m so glad I did. Every day the first question I ask her is how was her day. Everyday is a good day for her and she tells me about all the fun stuff she gets to do. I want to thank the staff for constantly keeping me up to date with videos and pictures of their daily activities. Had I known about this daycare earlier, I would have enrolled my daughter years ago."
Tiffany Hill
Redding's Kids Academy
“I’m so grateful for Redding Kids Academy! As a parent, one of the most important things for me is knowing that my children are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away from me. I truly feel comfortable leaving them in their care, and that peace of mind means so much. One of the best signs is seeing how happy my infant is when I drop her off and how happy she is when I pick her up. Though she can’t speak yet, that speak VOLUMES to me. Knowing my two children enjoy being there and feel comfortable with their teachers reassures me that they’re in a positive and nurturing environment.Thank you to all of the staff & the director Michelle for the love, patience, communication, and care you show my children every day. I appreciate everything you do and feel blessed to have found a place where my children are genuinely happy and I can feel confident leaving them."
Brittany Yates
Little Tigers Academy
"Everyone at LTA is amazing. We (my daughter) have been attending LTA since we were 6 weeks old. She's just over 5 months now. The teachers show her so much love. I can tell they absolutely love everything they do. I highly recommend Little Tigers to anyone who asks. Keke came in however many months ago and the whole vibe of the place is just great. I love seeing people who love their jobs and what they do. Angel, Jessica, Bri and Gabbie have all been such blessings. If our little family ever grows again, you can bet our little will absolutely be here. We are so thankful we chose Little Tigers!"
Heather Phillips
Funfield Learning Cottage
"I absolutely love Funfield! The staff are truly amazing at what they do, and you can tell that they genuinely care about each child. They are personable, attentive, and make you feel like your child is more than just another kid in their care. My son is happy every single time I drop him off, and that means the world to me as a parent. Knowing that he is loved, cared for, and treated like one of their own gives me such peace of mind. Funfield doesn’t just provide childcare—they create a loving, caring environment where the kids can feel safe, happy, and supported all while learning. I couldn’t recommend them enough! I really could not do it without this village. I appreciate each and every single person there."

How to Choose a School

Choosing care is a big decision. Here's how families usually find their fit.

Identify What Matters Most

Start with your family's needs: location, hours, ages, and the feel you want when you walk in the door. Knowing your priorities makes every other step easier.

Learn about The School

Explore programs, meet the director, and ask your questions, from daily routines to how teachers communicate. Good schools love the questions; they mean you care.

Come See It for Yourself

Nothing beats a visit. Schedule a tour, watch the classrooms in action, and trust what you see and feel. That gut feeling at drop-off matters.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

How do you choose your teachers?

Carefully. Every employee completes a background check before their first day, and beyond credentials, we look for the qualities that can't be trained: warmth, patience, and a genuine love of working with young children. The interview that matters most is how someone lights up around kids.

Every teacher completes the annual training hours their state requires, and in some programs the bar is even higher. On top of that, all our teams have access to ongoing professional development through ProSolutions Training, covering everything from child development to classroom practice.

We strive for consistency as much as possible, because familiar teachers are how young children build trust. When transitions do happen, we handle them thoughtfully, so a familiar face is never far away and your child always feels known.

Easily, and we hope you will. Drop-off and pickup are natural moments to talk, daily reports keep the conversation going, and your child's teacher is always glad to set aside time for a longer conversation when you want one.
