Programs That Grow With Your Child

Choosing care for your child is a big decision. At our schools, your child is known by name, cared for by teachers who love what they do, and encouraged to explore, play, and grow every day.

6 Weeks - 12 Months

Infants

There's more happening in your baby's first year than meets the eye. Every cuddle, song, and tummy-time session is building trust, language, and a growing sense that the world is a safe place to explore. Our infant teachers treat those little moments like the big deals they are.

1 Year - 2 Years

Toddlers

Toddlers are in constant motion, and every step, stumble, and "I do it!" is learning in action. This is the year of first words, big feelings, and boundless curiosity. Our teachers channel all that energy into discovery while keeping the day steady and warm.

2 Years - 3 years

Junior Preschool

Two-year-olds live between two worlds: still little, but so ready for more. They're testing independence, soaking up words, and learning what it means to be a friend. Junior preschool meets them right in that in-between, with room to try and support to land.

3 Years - 4 Years

Preschool

Preschoolers are natural scientists, artists, and storytellers. Ask one question and you'll get ten back. Our classrooms turn that curiosity into the building blocks of reading, math, and friendship, without ever making learning feel like work.

4 Years - 5 years

Pre-Kindergarten

The year before kindergarten is a big one, and pre-K children know it. They're ready for real challenges, proud of what they can do, and hungry to do more. We channel that pride into the skills and confidence they'll carry through the kindergarten door.

5 years - 12 Years

School Age

School-age kids need a different kind of care around the school day: a place that respects that they're big kids now, with room to burn energy, finish homework, and just be themselves. Our teachers know the difference between watching kids and actually knowing them.

Nurturing Care

Personalized Attention for Every Child

Our caring teachers give each child individualized support throughout the day, whether that's cuddles and one-on-one attention for our youngest learners or encouragement and independence for our oldest. Every child is known, supported, and met right where they are.

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."
Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

How do I know which program is right for my child?

Age is the starting point, but every child is different, and fit matters just as much. When you tour, your school's director will ask about your child, their routines, and what they're working on, then recommend the classroom that suits them best. If your child is between stages, we'll help you decide together.

Programs and ages served vary by school, and so do options like transportation and summer camp. For the most accurate information on current programs and availability, find your local school and reach out by phone or through the request information form. The school's director is always happy to walk you through their programs and help you find the right fit.

You'll get daily reports and updates on your child's day, from feeds and naps for the littlest ones to meals, activities, and milestones as they grow. Teachers also share the small moments that make your day, and drop-off and pickup are always a chance to talk. You'll never be left wondering how the day went.

Start by finding the school nearest you, then schedule a tour. You'll meet the director, see the classrooms, and get answers on tuition, availability, and start dates for your child's age group. If you decide it's the right fit, we'll walk you through enrollment step by step, and help you and your child get ready for a great first day.

We follow the child-to-teacher ratios required by each state for every age group, so younger children always have more hands and eyes on them. Every employee completes a background check before their first day, and our teachers complete the training their state and program require. You're welcome to ask your school about the specific ratios for your child's classroom.

It varies by school. Some of our schools provide meals and snacks, some provide snacks while families send lunch, and at a few, families provide meals. Whichever way your school works, they'll tell you exactly what to expect, and they'll work with you on allergies and dietary needs.
