Best Emergency Childcare in Walnut Creek, CA

Emergency Childcare Program

We help our youngest children explore their senses, surroundings, and milestones in a safe, nurturing environment. With one-on-one attention, age-appropriate books, and activities like finger painting, music, and pretend play, we spark creativity and support early development.

Toddler Care Program

We welcome toddlers into a safe, cozy, family-like environment where they can explore, play, and learn. With fun sensory, motor, and social-emotional activities, healthy routines, and open communication, we make sure every child feels happy, cared for, and supported.

Toddler Program

Our toddler program offers a warm, nurturing space where children build early independence, language, and motor skills through hands-on Montessori activities, music, movement, and guided social interactions.

Baby Nido (Infants)

Smiles, cries, coos, and babbles flood the classroom with expression—a classroom intentionally designed to offer a homelike environment that will nurture and soothe. Our educators inspire and motivate these quickly developing minds and bodies, observing and recording their growing interests recognized in their gazes and discoveries. At KLA Schools, our educators understand the importance of creating a trust-filled relationship with your baby. By quickly and reassuringly responding to your baby’s needs, our Baby Nido teachers support their growing sense of confidence and well-being. Making eye contact, talking in a calm and quiet voice, singing, and cuddling ensure that your baby is content and ready to take on the next stage in their development.

Nido (Toddlers)

Our Nido program ensures that toddlers develop their expressive language skills, experience empathy, engage in pretend-play, and practice social roles as they navigate their first relationships and begin to create their own identities. Educators in our Nido classrooms work to build strong bonds not only between children and teachers, but between teachers and parents as well. This partnership with your child’s teacher, along with excellent communication about your toddler’s development, results in a confident, secure toddler with the confidence they need to express themselves and grow their vocabulary.

Infant Program

At this age, your infant is mainly learning through observation and exploration. For example, as our Infant teachers talk and sing with your child during feeding, diaper changes and playtime, your little one is beginning to understand language and conversation. Nurturing interactions like these will fill your child’s day and can be adapted and personalized to meet their individual needs.

Toddler Program

In our Toddler program, you’ll find carefully selected equipment that our newest walkers love to climb on, crawl through and hide in while stretching their gross motor skills. Teachers also use books, toys, games and other materials to create exciting explorations into colors, shapes, science and more.

Infant Care

With young babies the day consists of play, music, and lots of one-on-one attention. With older toddlers we use blocks, read, draw, and learn about shapes & colors. We listen to different types of music which the babies love.
