Beach Babies opened in 1991 as a small family child care home in Manhattan Beach. What started in a small house with 4 infants has now grown into 4 childcare centers throughout the South Bay, caring for over 500 children daily. Beach Babies has grown into what it is today because of our simple philosophy:
To give infants and children plenty of love and security so they will thrive. Since 80% of a child’s development occurs by the age of three, what they learn from the very beginning will be with them for a lifetime. It is our primary goal at Beach Babies to make it a great beginning.
The basis of our philosophy is love and respect for all children beginning with infancy. We involve the children in activities relevant to them. We help them learn to find their own solutions and build security by teaching trust. We encourage and nurture each child to grow socially, physically, cognitively, and emotionally. In this loving environment, we know each child will gain confidence and self-respect as well as respect for others and the environment. We practice our philosophy each day at Beach Babies which allows parents to feel secure in their choice of childcare providers.
Beach Babies is open from 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday.
Each year Beach Babies closes for all major holidays and observances so that our caregivers can spend time with their own families. In addition to holidays, Beach Babies observes a two week winter break and a one week summer break each year. These closures enable us to perform annual maintenance and make improvements to our centers so that our buildings and classrooms are maintained in great condition for our children, staff, and families.
Each Beach Babies location is equipped with security cameras that record activity in all of our classrooms, common areas, and exterior grounds to ensure safety and security at all times. Additionally, Beach Babies utilizes ProCare computer systems in which parents and guardians must scan their fingerprint to check their child in and out each day along with a security door or gate that ensures only approved visitors gain entry to our building and classrooms.
