Early Foundations Children’s Academy is committed to providing young children and their families with high-quality early childhood education in an enriched setting in Redding California. The early years are the most critical years in a child’s life; experiences during this time have a lasting impact on a child’s development and future academic success. Our purpose is to offer early learning experiences that give children the tools they need to grow and develop into productive members of our society and the leaders of tomorrow. Our approach to early education is based on age appropriate, culturally sensitive, sensory-based, hands-on learning experiences. Our job is to make sure that each child has numerous successful experiences every day to promote positive self-image and to ensure a lifelong love of learning.

The child’s classroom is arranged into learning centers that encourage exploration within a predictable daily routine, including small and large group times. In our toddler rooms, we offer space for push-pull toys and the opportunity for toddlers to do their favorite thing: fill and dump! In our preschool rooms, you will frequently see a group of children developing their social skills by dressing up or pretending to cook dinner in the home center. In our Pre-K rooms other children may be developing their emerging literacy skills in the writing and reading center, while a child in the science center is discovering what sinks and what floats. It might appear that your child is “just playing.” However, according to the latest research in brain development, children learn best  through play. We give your child the opportunity to actively explore his/her environment and “play.” Our teachers observe the children’s interests and choices, developing meaningful individualized learning activities based on these observations.

Due to COVID-19 the hours of operations are 7:30am to 5:15pm Monday through Friday.
