Huntington Beach, CA Preschool & Daycare Huntington Beach, CA

I am a new mom of a 9 month old. She started daycare at The Learning Experience in HB at 6 months old. I have a background in daycare teaching, so I was very particular with who I trusted with my lil. The staff blew me out of the water right away. They're all nurturing, loving, kind and approachable. They'll work with you for you and your little one's individual needs any time you need them. I couldn't be happier with this decision for me and my family.

My son started at this daycare when he was two years old and attends full time. From the very beginning, I’ve been so impressed by the genuine care and attention every child receives. The love they show the kids is real, consistent, and truly special. The staff are not only kind and attentive, but also authentic and approachable, which has made a huge difference for our family. My son is also getting a great early education here, which is important to us—but even more important is knowing he’s a happy, healthy toddler in a nurturing environment Learning through play and that’s exactly what they provide. As newcomers to the area, we were hoping to find a sense of community and this daycare has exceeded our expectations. It’s been exactly what our hearts and our daily lives needed.

After being a stay-at-home mom for 2.5 years, I was ready to go back to work and send my little one to school for the first time. My husband and I toured several places and nothing felt right (I even left one of the places crying!), but when I walked into TLE I immediately felt like that was the right place for my son to be. The staff was welcoming and my son even got to participate in recess with the other kids during our tour. I noticed all of the students seemed genuinely happy, and the staff knew all the kids' names (not just their own students). The facility itself is also extremely clean and well-maintained and has fantastic security measures in place. There are several locked doors and student checks in place to facilitate safe transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as drop-off and pick-up, which was a huge relief for me as well. While I was planning on easing my son (and myself!) into school/work over the course of 2 weeks, the place that I got hired at wanted me to start just 2 days after my interview. The first day drop-off went fairly well, I definitely cried more than my little one, and by the time I made it to my office just 5 minutes down the street from the school, my son's teachers had already sent me updates in the school's app that made me feel instantly better. The app allows us parents to know our kids' daily activities, diaper changes/potty breaks, meals (did I mention those are provided by the school? Complete game-changer for our busy mornings!!), naps, etc. and also allows us to see pictures of our children throughout the day. This has definitely made going back to work soooo much easier for me, and I couldn't be more thankful for technology like this! My son has been in 3 classrooms now as he has gotten older and more advanced, and the teachers he's had along the way (Ms. Yune, Ms. Gissele, Ms. Mayra, Ms. Johan, and Ms. Angie) have all been absolutely fantastic. Not only is he learning new things every single day, but the school also implements super cool activities throughout the year along with dress-up days every Friday. Most days my son doesn't even want to leave school and I have to force him to go home! You know you've hit the jackpot with a great facility when your little one can't wait to go back every day. I couldn't ask for a better place for my son to be at, and my husband and I can't wait to send our future kiddos here as well! Thank you for all you do for our family and our little one, TLE is truly the best!!

After leaving LePort Montessori, we were a little hesitant about enrolling our daughters (ages 2.5 and 4.5) in a new school. Transitions can be tough for little ones, but since starting here in January, the experience has been absolutely amazing. Our girls had such an easy and positive transition, and a huge part of that is because of the incredible staff. From the teachers to the front desk and administration, everyone is so warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the kids. The entire team creates an environment that feels like family. A special shoutout goes to Ms. Martha, the director -- she is truly wonderful and sets such a positive tone for the whole school. You can tell everyone loves being there, and that energy carries through to the children. My daughters' teachers are amazing and definitely help meet wherever my daughters are at. My oldest is a bit on the shy side and Ms Rocio has been so great in helping support and give her confidence and she's had tremendous progress in such a short time with her writing, letters/sounds and drawing! my youngest daughter is also thriving and loving her teachers Ms Giselle and Ms Mayra. We def feel so grateful and lucky to have amazing teachers! Two of the biggest perks for our family are that all food is provided (which makes mornings so much easier!) and the app that keeps parents connected throughout the day. I receive at least two photos daily of my daughters, which I absolutely love because I get to see what they're learning and experiencing. It gives me such peace of mind. The school also has cameras in every classroom and a very secure setup with double-entry key fob access, which adds an extra layer of safety and reassurance. We truly wish we had found this school sooner, but we're so grateful to be part of this community now. Most importantly, our daughters love going to school every day -- and as a parent, that says everything. We couldn't be happier with our experience here!

We feel so lucky to have found The Learning Experience in Huntington Beach for our son. From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, caring, and professional. Our son looks forward to going every day, and as a parent, that gives me so much peace of mind. A special thank you to the Director - Miss Kristine and Miss Martha. They are incredibly understanding and supportive, always taking the time to listen and making sure each child feels loved and cared for. Their dedication truly shows in the way they connect with the children and support the families. The environment is safe, clean, and full of fun learning opportunities. I’ve seen my son grow socially and academically since starting here, and I couldn’t be happier with his progress. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place where their child will not only learn but also be genuinely cared for.

We have had nothing but a positive experience with TLE Huntington Beach and could not be happier with our choice to send our daughter there. Having our little one in the Infant Room for the past three months has confirmed that this is a truly special place. The entire staff, from the administrative team to every teacher, is extremely kind and brings a daily positive attitude. I'd like to specifically recognize Miss Mariyah and Miss Ines. Their dedication to the children is obvious. Our daughter has developed an incredibly strong and comfortable relationship with them. Watching her light up in the morning when she sees Miss Mariyah is the best possible confirmation that she feels safe, loved, and engaged while she is there. If you are looking for a caring, professional, and genuinely joyful environment for your child, we highly recommend The Learning Experience Huntington Beach. We feel really good about the choice we made for our family!

Both my son (Felix) and daughter (Dorothy) went to tle for 2.5 years. Compared to their peers they are both more knowledgeable and sociable. It was a wonderful experience and worth the investment. Both of my kids have graduated and it is a bittersweet moment. We got to know everyone and see them everyday. Our Dorothy went from being a shy little girl and turned into a social butterfly. Thank you for helping us care for our children and teaching them to be nice and kind. You guys are appreciated.

Both my kids go to the TLE in Huntington Beach and they love it! They love there teachers they all are so caring and loving to my kids! My kids especially love Ms. Martha always looking for her and giving her hugs! TLE is by far one of the best childcare centers around!

Our two and a half year old has been going here since she was 1 and our 9 month old since he was 3 months old- absolutely incredible staff and program. They keep us well informed on our kids, go out of their way to make our kids feel special, and the activities are fantastic. Our pediatrician regularly says our daughter is advance with her talking/communication - I give TLE Huntington Beach and her teachers all the credit for this. Highly recommend!

My son has been in TLE for two weeks. We all like it, Ms Jennifer and Ms Kendra are very sweet and careful the kids a lot. Ms Kristine and Martha are very helpful with all my questions. All the staff here are friendly and sweet. I glad we choose TLE

TLE has gone above and beyond for my son. They are very attentive and you can tell are deeply invested in every child's success here. Thank you for all you do!!

Run, don't walk to TLE (like our kids do!). We have had our son here since May 2022 and have had nothing short of a wonderful experience. Our daughter now also attends, so we have one in preschool and one in a twaddler class. The teachers are truly excellent, you can tell they really care about the children which is so nice considering how much time they spend there. Miss Kristine, Miss Martha, and Miss Araceli run this daycare so well and bring such great energy to the building. You are always welcomed with smiles and warm greetings every time you walk in, and there is always something fun on the schedule- dress up days, exciting events for the kids, art projects, you name it. The amount that these kids actually learn and absorb here is also incredible, they really benefit from both the structure of the classroom and the social interaction with other kids their age. Our kiddos love it and so do we, highly recommend if you are looking for a daycare!

TLE has been WONDERFUL for my little girl! She has been attending TLE for a little over a year now (started around 18 months:). She has grown so much - socially, emotionally, cognitively! She has group circle time, outside play, and other activities throughout the day. love that this is an actual preschool and not just a daycare. The care that they provide is above and beyond any expectations I had. It's been so special to see everyone treat her so lovingly. Every teacher/administrator/staff member that we've come into contact with has truly been the best. They provide text messages throughout the week with their menu, reminders for upcoming events and spirit days, and monthly news to go over everything that will be happening in the upcoming month. Besides that, they also have an app! It's filled with different resources that I have yet to fully explore because it's also where they give you reports throughout the day. From diaper changes to the amount of food that they are actually eating. AND all of the pictures (except one) that I posted have been from their app! It is such peace of mind to get all of this info and pics throughout the day! The facility is beautiful too! Classroom and playgrounds are kept clean. I can't believe they have kids there all day!!! 10 out of 10!

Very welcoming and friendly staff! Building uses many safety protocols and teachers do a great job keeping track of the kiddos when moving to outside time.

Thank you for your kind review and recommendation! We're more than pleased to hear that you and your family have had such a positive experience with us. We work hard every day to ensure we provide the best learning environment possible and feedback like yours gives us the encouragement to keep up the good work! Thanks again for this great review!

Absolutely love the learning experience!!! My 3 year old has been with the learning experience for over a year now. When I first enrolled my son they didn't have space available for my infant so I took my baby to another day care. Horrible experience at that other daycare it was a nightmare. I told the director Kristine and Martha about the situation at the daycare and they made accommodations to get my infant in early! They send updates and pictures through out the day of the kids which I love. Any accidents they are quick to call me and notify me. They make learning fun and my littles are happy and excited to go to school everyday. I highly recommend the learning experience to any family. I use to live local now I live about 40 minutes south and I happily make the drive. The price is pretty reasonable as well.

My children absolutely love their school and so do I . They have an awesome curriculum, activities and outdoor play area!

The Learning Experience has truly been a blessing for our family. From the moment we walked in, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere, thanks in large part to the incredible staff. Ms. Lorena consistently goes above and beyond, ensuring my daughter has a joyful start to her day, even on those challenging mornings. Her thoughtful updates and photos allow me to focus on my work, knowing my daughter is happy and well-cared for. Ms. Kristine manages the daycare with exceptional professionalism, love, and a truly welcoming spirit. Her dedication to creating a positive environment is evident in every interaction. Ms. Yune has been an extraordinary mentor to my daughter, enriching her life with the gift of multiple languages. It's heartwarming to see my daughter come home and eagerly share her newfound knowledge with me. And then there's Ms. Nikki. Words cannot express how grateful we are for her. She has been a constant source of love and support for my daughter since the very beginning. Knowing my daughter is in her safe and capable hands provides immeasurable peace of mind. Ms. Nikki is truly a paragon within this organization, and they are incredibly fortunate to have her. My daughter adores her, and we consider her part of our extended family. The Learning Experience has not only met but exceeded our expectations. The dedication, care, and love shown by every member of the staff has secured our patronage for all our children. We wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their little ones."

My son has been attending for 1.5 years, starting when he was just 3 years old. On his first day, he was excited, so there was no issue leaving him there. However, the next day, he was very stressed and cried when I left — I couldn't bear it. Ms. Martha came into the classroom and spent one-on-one time with him, which helped a lot. I left, but as a mother, I felt awful. The first two weeks were tough, but the staff supported him throughout the day. Ms. Martha stayed with him for extra hours to comfort him, and since then, they’ve become very close. Whenever he sees her now, he gets a hug! They even play catch and share lots of laughs together. It’s truly heartwarming! During this time, he had a few issues with other children, but the teachers and management handled it professionally and took it very seriously. Our teachers are amazing; they genuinely care about what they do and what they think. They encourage and motivate the children to learn and play. Additionally, my son has started learning sign language and Spanish, and he loves singing songs with his teachers. He’s also been practicing yoga poses! I don’t have to worry about his meals either — they’re healthy, colorful, and include plenty of veggies and fruits. I’m so happy he’s here. They not only take care of my son but also teach him new things and make sure he has fun. Everything is perfectly balanced. I highly recommend this place to anyone. You’ll feel it too!

Amazing staff. We love Ms. Kristine! She keeps everything fun and running smoothly. My kids both love coming here. Great clean, colorful, modern atmosphere. Love this preschool.

I can't say enough good things about this preschool! Both of my kids attended, and they were always excited to go each day. The teachers and staff are incredibly happy and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The building and classrooms are bright, clean, and organized, making it a cheerful environment for learning. The variety of fun and engaging toys keeps the kids entertained and encourages their creativity. Communication with parents is excellent; they are always informative and supportive. I highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing and joyful place for their children!

The Learning Experience is absolutely amazing! In the Summer of Happiness there was a fun new activity every day. I remember going on the tour before enrolling and seeing kids go up to Miss Kristine, the director, and giving her a hug. I thought it was so cute, and that it must be such a caring environment. Despite being a pretty shy kid with new people, my son quickly became one of those kids going up to Miss Kristine and the other teachers and asking for hugs. I loved getting pictures every day and all of the communication so we could participate in events. Highly recommend TLE!

I took a tour of the school in anticipation of putting my child in and was really blown away by the entire school. Mrs. Martha was an amazing guide and answered all of my questions and tool me through a child's day. From the curriculum, to the food and the fun event's they have for the kids , this is at the top of the list for schools in the area.

Our twin boys go here and we love it so far. The place is clean and the staff is very friendly, well-organized and super good at taking care of the kids. They do it with care and we are more than happy than ever to have our kids under their care.

If I can add 5 more stars I would. TLE has been the biggest game changer in our lives. From our first day touring the center, to getting the call that our little one got a spot (5 months earlier than expected), to today. From the moment you walk through the door, you just know your little one is going to have the best day. And the staff: We absolutely love Miss Kristine and Miss Martha for running this place and creating fun events for the kids and parents. They truly get to know you and your family, so they greet you by your name when you come and go. Lastly, the teachers...AMAZING! Our little one cannot wait to get into his classroom and see his teacher Miss Carmen and friends, that Miss Carmen has to continue to remind him to say goodbye to my husband and I. Thank you TLE HB for everything!

Always a big decision on where to choose for your child's care especially when they spend most of their time there and a big part of their upbringing. I took my time and did many tours at many daycares. I am so thankful and grateful for The Learning Experience !! My son was there for a few years couldn't be more happy with all he has learned and his development. The staff has always been great the entire time and professional in all aspects. My son is now moving on to Kinder but definitely going to miss everyone. Thank you all for everything you do for our little ones

I would like to share my experience from a long time ago. Today, I started the day with their coffee. They always think of us! My son has been going there for 8 months. He started when he was 3 years old. On the first day, he was excited, so there was no problem leaving him there. The day after, he was so stressed and cried when I left - I couldn't leave. Ms. Martha came to the class and played with him one-on-one. I left, but as a mother, I felt awful. The first two weeks were hard, but they supported him in all parts of the day. Ms. Martha was there with him for extra hours to comfort him. Since then, they have been so close. Whenever he sees her, he gets a hug from her! I love it! Five months later, we had a problem with a few kids, and the teachers and management took it seriously and solved it professionally. Our teachers are amazing, especially Mr. John and Miss Sherry. They really care about what they do and what they think. Additionally, my son started to learn sign language and Spanish, which he sings songs with them - also yoga poses! I am so happy to be there - they are taking care of my son, teaching him new things, and also playing games. The foods also healthy- my son eat them all! Everything is balanced. I advise everyone to bring their child here. You will feel it!

Miss Martha, Miss Kristine, Miss Giselle, Miss Mayra, and Miss Yune are absolutely amazing. they are caring and nurturing, and really take the time to make sure my son has a wonderful experience at TLE. Thank you to the whole team!

The Learning Experience is a fantastic preschool. My 5 year old son has been to 2 other preschools in the last 3 years and when he would get rowdy with his friends or upset about not getting his way (like any other toddler) they were quick to send him home and wouldn't follow through with action plans to work with him on his behavior. TLE is completely different from the others though. When we started going to them, our son was having a hard time with the transition and they worked with us and him to make a plan and have actually followed through with it, to the point that he doesn't have "bad days" and enjoys going to school.

I can tell this is a happy place where the children have fun and learn at the same time. Everyone here is friendly and happy very helpful and welcoming. I toured many other center and this is the best one. The very first day of school my child already loved it, she went home in a happy mood , we know she had good time at school.

The Learning Experience is the perfect name for this school. It saddens me to be leaving such a wonderful school, From day one, walking in to tour the school, I knew this was a hard place to leave. This was my daughter's 2nd home, it was a place that taught her so much... how to be strong, independent and learn things that a working mom can't be able to do. All teachers and staff treated her with so much love and kindness. So many fun activities throughout the school year. Only if we didn't have to move, my 2nd daughter would have gone to this school too. This was a GREAT. Learning Experience for my daughter. " It takes a big heart to shape little minds". - Riley's Mom!

We LOOOVE being apart of the TLE family!! It's a one of a kind experience for your kids to apart of. My littles have formed so many special friendships in such a short period. Some of the best teachers as well!
