Early Development

Every Moment Builds a Foundation

Our infant rooms are built entirely around your baby's own rhythm. Feeding, sleeping, and play follow the schedule you set, in a secure classroom with low ratios and teachers trained in infant care. You'll get daily reports on feeds, naps, and diaper changes, so you never feel far away.

Nurturing Care

Personalized Attention for Every Child

In our infant rooms, personalized isn't a buzzword, it's the whole design. Your baby eats when they're hungry, sleeps when they're tired, and plays when they're ready, following the schedule you set at home rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. Along the way, our teachers give the cuddles, comfort, and one-on-one attention that help babies feel truly secure. It's care shaped around your baby, because at this age, that's the only kind that works.

Developmental Milestones

Rolling over, sitting up, first babbles, first steps. Our infant teachers know what's coming next and celebrate every first with you, sometimes with a photo you'll keep forever.

Learning Through Play

Peekaboo, songs, and sensory play are how babies learn. Every game builds language, movement, and curiosity, guided by teachers who know how infants grow.

Supporting Parents

Daily reports keep you close to feeds, naps, and diaper changes, and your baby's teachers are always glad to talk at drop-off and pickup. Your questions are welcome, always.

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 you handle feeding and naps?

Your baby's schedule is the schedule. You tell us when and how your baby eats and sleeps, whether that's breast milk, formula, or starting solids, and our teachers follow your instructions exactly. As routines shift over the year, we adjust right along with you, and you'll see every feed and nap in your daily report.

Many of our schools welcome babies beginning at six weeks. Infant spots are often the most in demand, so if you're expecting or planning ahead, it's smart to tour early and ask about availability for your timeline. Your school can walk you through options for your start date.

Consistency is one of the most important things we can give an infant, and we strive to keep familiar teachers with your baby as much as possible, someone who knows their cues, their comfort items, and exactly how they like to be held. When transitions do happen, we make them thoughtfully, so a familiar face is never far and your baby always feels known.
