About
Little Genius Academy offers infant, toddler, preschool, pre-K, and kindergarten programs that follow a carefully planned curriculum where play takes precedence and learning opportunities are presented throughout the day. The program takes place in a bright, clean environment that is described as warm, inviting, and nurturing to children, with small classes and low child-to-teacher ratios and an atmosphere where children feel at home. The program includes educational child care services with a creative and age-appropriate curriculum for infants, toddlers, preschool, and pre-K children, along with planned daily activities and developmentally appropriate materials.
• Ages: 0–5 years old
• Schedule: Year-round program with weekday hours; Walnut Creek operates Monday–Friday 7:30 am–6 pm and Danville operates Monday–Friday 7:30 am–5 pm; closed on national holidays listed on the program calendar.
Little Genius Academy states that its mission is to provide high quality child care, inspire, challenge, and educate. The program offers resources ranging from infant and toddler facilities to preschool, pre-K, and kindergarten to guide young students to the entry level of elementary school. The staff is described as experienced, with extensive training in early childcare and education, and the program’s goal is to recruit and retain professional teachers dedicated to the hearts and development of young children. The program follows consistent, comforting, and fun routines that meet the needs of each age group, uses positive guidance methods such as clear limits, redirection, modeling, opportunities to make choices, and positive expectations of each child, and includes planned activities and experiences to develop self-help skills and independence, as well as opportunities for everyone to develop, practice, and model happy, healthy behaviors. The program is based on a strong belief that every child is naturally gifted and that talents are yet to be discovered, with teaching in harmony with each child’s natural rhythm and individual nature and a focus on discovering a child’s talents and teaching children how to use them, and it emphasizes early childhood education as the most effective way to build competence and self-confidence.
One parent, Dan S., reports having two children who started at Little Genius Academy at 5 months of age and describes the staff as very warm and nurturing and the school as providing a lot of stimulating activity. Another parent, Gregory P., describes the Walnut Creek site as a loving, caring environment for younger children and a supportive, rigorous academic and fun environment for older children, and notes that the teachers and staff are professional and that the academy has changed to accommodate children’s needs. A parent named Erin describes the infant care program as excellent, says the teachers were incredibly caring and treated her daughter like an individual, and mentions lots of hugs, laughing, and playing every day, as well as a director who was very responsive to questions and concerns from first-time daycare parents; a similar testimonial from Dave M. repeats these points and states that their family highly recommends Little Genius Academy.
