Discover why parents call us the best daycare Walnut Creek, CA has to offer.
The Reggio Emilia philosophy was founded in Italy and has influenced early education worldwide. At its core, it respects each child’s individuality and emphasizes learning through exploration, relationships, and hands-on experiences. Key principles include:
Each day at KLA follows a consistent, nurturing rhythm that helps children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.
From the moment they’re greeted by name, your child is welcomed into a warm, community-driven environment. The day begins with songs and stories to spark connection and curiosity. Then, children dive into hands-on activities like painting, building, and exploring that follow their interests and encourage creativity.
Outdoor play offers fresh air, movement, and social growth. Meals and routines are handled with care, turning everyday moments into chances for independence. After a peaceful rest, children reflect on their discoveries and help shape what comes next.
Whether your child is an infant or a preschooler, their experience is guided by educators who know them, support them, and partner with you every step of the way.
Come experience our classrooms, meet the team, and see if our approach feels right for your child.
