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!

I’m thrilled to support the incredible children, families, and team members who make this center so special. I love the work we do in ABA—helping children grow, learn, and gain new skills every day is an honor. I’m excited to lead with compassion, collaboration, and a deep commitment to high-quality care.

As our community of learners and families has grown, so have we. We are proud to move into our new West Los Angeles Learning Center--a warm, welcoming space designed to support growth, connection, and meaningful progress.

I am filled with joy when I see our kids learn in session and then use those new skills across all aspects of their lives and without our support! That is the true evidence of the meaningful work we do at FirstSteps.
