Infant Care
A Safe Place To Explore and Play!
Non-mobile Rooms
For younger infants who are still working on mastering sitting up on their own, developing their neck muscles, lifting their head up, grasping and reaching for toys.
Mobile Rooms
For infants that are able to roll around, pull themselves up, learning or already crawling, or taking their first steps!
Walker Rooms
For confident walkers who love running outside on the infant playground, are taking one nap a day, and have graduated from a bottle to a sippy cup.
We are proud to utilize Action Star Learning Curriculum throughout all our infant center and preschool locations. Rooted in our 55 years of dedicated observation and cultivation of young minds, Action Star Learning curriculum was developed exclusively for Action Day by renowned curriculum and educational leaders.
In our pursuit of excellence, we’ve not only embraced the California standards as a foundational benchmark but have ventured beyond. The Action Star Learning Curriculum integrates these standards with a wealth of additional content, all the while staying true to our experiential learning philosophy and overarching mission to empower children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills in a fun, loving, and innovation friendly environment. To ensure a seamless experience for all, a consistent semi-structured daily schedule is implemented across all our campuses.
One of the cornerstones of this curriculum lies in its thematic approach. Every month, our students will embark on a voyage of exploration and discovery. These themes, thoughtfully selected to mirror various facets of your child’s everyday life, cover a wide array of subjects such as transportation, animals and habitats, bubbles, nature, and more. Through engaging, hands-on activities, we will delve into these themes, nurturing growth not only in math, literacy, and science but also in social development, and large and fine motor skills.

Early Socialization
Infant centers provide opportunities for babies to interact with their peers, fostering early socialization skills. This can contribute to the development of important social and emotional skills, such as sharing, taking turns, and forming attachments with caregivers and other children.
Professional Care and Supervision
Professional Care and Supervision
Trained infant teachers and caregivers in these centers are equipped with knowledge about early childhood development, ensuring that infants receive appropriate care, nutrition, and stimulation. This professional supervision contributes to the child’s overall well-being and development.
Structured Learning Environments
Structured Learning Environments
Infant centers often offer age-appropriate activities and environments that stimulate cognitive development. These activities may include sensory play, tummy time, and exposure to different textures and materials, all of which support early learning.
Consistent Daily Routine
Consistent Daily Routine
Infants thrive on routine, and many infant centers provide a structured daily schedule, including regular feeding times, naps, and play. Consistency in routines helps infants feel secure and allows parents to coordinate their schedules more effectively.

Preparation for Later Education
Preparation for Later Education
Infant center care can serve as a positive introduction to the learning environment, setting the stage for future educational experiences. Children who have early exposure to socialization and learning activities may be better prepared for later transitions to preschool and formal education.
Tab Content
Infant centers provide a practical solution for parents who need to work or pursue other commitments. Having a reliable childcare option allows parents to maintain their careers and other responsibilities while ensuring their child is well-cared-for in a nurturing environment.

In addition, your child’s shoes need to cover his or her whole foot and must be worn at all times. If your child loses any of his or her items, please check with the school’s director. All locations keep a lost-and-found basket for a period of three weeks.
