Learning Centers

Our Centers represent the heart of our organization. They are where we first meet our families and your beautiful children, where our staff collaborate and learn, where our administrative team ensures the wheels never stop turning for your kids, and most critically, where your children’s treatment plan is developed, reviewed, and often implemented.

Given that we support our children in any and all environments optimal for their learning, our Centers were built accordingly. With kid endorsed art and décor, spectacular murals, fully stocked toy libraries, group-learning “classrooms,” and focused learning pods for 1:1 instruction, our children have endless opportunities to learn and thrive.

We look forward to welcoming you to your local FirstSteps Center where you will discover your new supportive ABA community!

Southbay was the location of our first office, opening its doors in 2005 and growing steadily for the past two decades. Two years ago, we moved to our new, larger ocean-front location in Redondo Beach. Our kids cherish their center-based learning, excited to hear not only the cheers of encouragement from our team, but also from the resident sea lions lounging on floats just outside our doors.
