The Learning Experience - Torrance

My daughter attends this school,and our experience has been exceptional because this school is home for my daughter.I feel so comfortable and at ease with taking my daughter to The Learning Experience because it is a lovely place,it is sparkling clean and tidy. The teachers are amazing, they are compassionate about seeing their students succeed, they are engaging,lively and energetic.The director is so welcoming and friendly,she is always ready to listen to everyone.Her assistants are also wonderful,they approach you in a respectful and approachable manner.The administration is open minded and is committed to the whole child.This makes learning easy for the children and also enables the children gain confidence in their learning abilities.Great team-great school!

The worst daycare. The center director literally sucks at her job. Very rude and impolite, people are working hard to pay crazy tuition and they behave like the school is free! not to mention this is by far the most expensive daycare that does NOT worth it.They put a happy and loving face in front of parents but god knows how they treat the innocent kids! My son screams every single day whenever it’s time to go to school. And YES he was in another school before we move here and he had no issues. Sometimes he talks about teachers shouting at kids and when I ask more he is not up to speaking. It’s very disappointing.

When we couldn't pay for the daycare, the teachers slammed the door in our face. My daughter used to love this daycare until she was moved into the upper class.I also had a previous incident where my daughter went a full day without a diaper change. Mrs. Carrie took care of it promptly but I never received an apology from her teachers which I resented. Even still, I treated everyone with great respect. They even helped with an employee discount because of my disability, this was the only daycare I'd have enough mobility to take her too but then expected me to pay for two time slots and $300 more when that's how much my rent was. They knew I couldn't make much, but after Mrs. Carrie left, showed apathy and gave me dirty looks when I came back for Aisha who promised me assistance if my daughter and I, being vulnerable indigenous were ever given trouble by the corrupt system. They refused to even give me her contact information. The new hires were racist. I had been going for two years hoping my daughter could graduate at five. The educational value and socializing was irreplaceable.The woman who I had assigned to take my child in the morning via ihss, we knew each other for twenty years, threw out my child's diapers and left a rash I tried everything to figure out why she had diaper rash... I changed her diet... Two weeks it takes the facility to tell me she was coming over there with her morning diaper still on. I was horrified they took so long to tell me she had poop on her little butt when I always changed it.Even now that's caused me issues, especially that girl. It brought attention to my family over my work, even when she had the same vocation.I was told if I ever needed anything else in regards to the threats I was made from this woman, to ask Aisha. No one called back.I told my concerns to Mrs. Carrie. I was hoping she'd be a godmother to my children because already one of my daughters loved her. She called me paranoid. I wanted her to be in my child's life but after that, it was difficult to let anyone disrespect me like that, especially when Mrs. Carrie is white with privilege neither my child and I will ever have. And clearly, I was not being paranoid given the system tried to sell my daughter again to a woman who took a hammer to her leg, attacking my character with false accusations in my business page, making sure no daycare would take me pretending to care about my daughter meanwhile I asked if Mrs. Carrie could take over placement in an emergency. I've been harassed by several people in town for two years now. It escualted to me getting assaulted in front of kids, while the woman had her hand on my neck. So call me paranoid again?I to this day, could use these people in my life but they let me down.It's disappointing because I stayed in this dangerous city so I could take her here, which has costed us all dearly.But a couple new hires didn't like me, then I have had no way of contacting anyone.My daughter really trusted y'all. And so did I. I still haven't gotten a years worth of pictures of my daughter, which upsets me the most.They have the capacity to help with my current situation, and they won't even call and meet to come up with a plan when my daughter is getting smacked around with no one to protect us.I got excited and mentioned I might know who her dad was (I was wrong at the moment but I am not now, oh well people are not perfect... Y'all perfect? No but Iforgave... I was SA'd around the time I got pregnant then ran to her dad) and three of these woman laughed at me. I could hear even as I left for the day. I never trusted the facility after all this happened.It hurt my feelings, these woman used to make me cry. The woman used to call me beautiful and support my relationship with my daughter but they abandoned us entirely over money. Even when my daughter really could have used stable people in our lives we both could communicate with. We only have each other. And now I'm constantly being threatened over my daughter over my job.

We absolutely love The Learning Experience daycare in Torrance! The staff and teachers are attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in our child's well-being. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities. Our son looks forward to going every day, and I appreciate the regular updates on his developmental progress. TLE truly provides a nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. Highly recommend!

Caring, Kind, Professional, Welcoming, Skilled, and Connected. The Learning Experience is your family when you cannot be there with your kids. My wife and I always felt like our child was cared for first and foremost. Combined with the daily curriculum taught to our daughter, the Learning Experience teaches the whole child; social, emotional and academic. Our daughter came home each day with new knowledge, fun stories to share with her friends and showed joy to her teachers everyday. Their program teaches character clearly and consistently across all grade levels. Our 3 year old daughter grew across 3 classrooms and at each level, the teachers were skilled and compassionate to our daughter and the needs of our family. Ms. Demi is an amazing leader and creates a warm, positive atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Ms. Aisha and Ms. Taylor can handle anything you need and have the center running smoothly. Multiple security doors and tall, thick walls make the school very secure. We always had confidence and felt safe leaving our daughter. So many positive feelings and nice things to share about our experience and the staff. You will see for yourself when you tour, best wishes to all!

After a previous negative experience at a different preschool, I was anxious about finding the right fit for my 2.5 year old. The front office/administration at TLE is efficient, quick to follow up with every question and concern I had, and above all so KIND. Once my son started, every concern I had was put to rest. His teachers are amazing. They did everything they could to make his transition a positive experience and the proof is in the fact that he loves coming to school every single day. I feel like I’m part of a team who has my son’s (and every other child there) best interest at heart. Oh also, I love that they use an app to update us about what they’ve eaten, if they’ve napped, and send pictures of them throughout the day. Best decision we could have made, I can’t recommend TLE highly enough.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Learning Experience but most importantly the staff. We will start with the facilities. They are always clean, they have top of the line learning materials for the children and they utilize these spaces so well. They are always setting up beautiful decorations for the holidays, cute backdrops for back to school pictures and areas for events like a book fair, ice cream day and a trunk or treat, just to name a few. Now for the staff, who are not only fantastic people but who are also educated and present. I could go on and on about them but take it from my kids, who run to me when I pick them up but often linger in the classroom and wave goodbye to their teachers because they enjoy their time there and feel so comfortable! Ms. Demi and her staff have created a family not just a daycare and I am lucky my kids get to attend this amazing place!

I cannot recommend The Learning Experience enough!!! We had a family friend who recommended TLE to us and before we even finished the tour we knew this was a great place for our daughter to go. We previously had a nanny and TLE gives the same personal feel. The director and assistant directors know all the children by name, along with the adults who regularly pick up/drop off. They take the time to get to know each family who attends school there. Since they take such care in getting to know each family, the communication is above and beyond in regards to any issues (social or medical) that arise throughout the day.The teachers truly enjoy working at TLE. As a teacher myself, I have never seen a staff who truly enjoy showing up as much as the staff here does. Teachers in other classes even make a point to know my daughters name and know who we are. They are always willing to play with the students and participate in the activities with them. When I pick her up, they are running around with the students, playing on the ground with them, and handling any issues.Parents are able to stay up to date with their app. The teachers can post what the kids ate, how much they ate, any pictures from the day, along with a label of what the students are learning in the picture. The app even have a kid section where the kids can watch learning videos with Bubbles and the other characters. My daughter loves to watch it on her iPad during long drives.The tuition can be pricey, but it is worth every penny. The building is secure with a key fob entrance and door chimes on all door leading outside to the play area. Students are provided breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack every day. The curriculum that they learn is top of the line. My daughter has learned so much. She recites random facts or songs that she has learned in the car on the way home from school each day or when she sees something that reminds her of something from school. She has also learned words in Spanish and sign language.TLE is a fantastic place to send your child to get a personal nanny feel but giving your child(ren) the opportunity to learn and social in a school setting.

As a first time mom, it was so nerve wracking putting my daughter in someone else’s care, but the minute we walked into TLE, it felt like family. All of the teachers and staff here are so friendly and the love and thoughtfulness they put into everything they do makes this place stand out. They take care of my daughter like she is their own and my daughter has absolutely thrived here! She runs in every day with a smile and goes straight to her teachers for a hug. We love TLE!!

I am a teacher here at TLE and also parent to my daughter who is in the preschool class. I love being able to work with my amazing coworkers and supportive management. I felt so comfortable being here that I enrolled my daughter and love having her here. My daughter loves her teachers and is always so happy to be there that she doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! I couldn’t be happier working here and having my child attend as well.

Our child has been attending TLE since he was 7 months old and it has really been great. The teachers clearly enjoy their time with the kids; the many activities are well thought out; and everyone is very accommodating and communicative. They also have an app that updates you throughout the day on what your child is doing (with photos!).

I’ll start by saying, two separate neighbors introduced us to TLE- Torrance (Shout out to them!) Both families had nothing but good things to say about the school, both the teachers and the facility itself.After touring the campus twice, we decided to leave the daycare we were currently enrolled in and give TLE a shot.After waiting around for a couple of months, we finally received the call we had been waiting on!The school finally had space for our two kids.Since enrolling our kids, we haven’t looked back.The kids love it here!The campus is cleaned daily, the teachers are awesome, we feel as if they show our kids extra attention (what parent doesn’t appreciate that?)!The technology used in the class room, curriculum, themed weeks and events, awesome playground, secured facility, bright colors and daily lunch gives this location 4.8 stars in our mind!Finally, I will agree, no place is perfect. But the administration listens very well and does their best to be accommodating.

its been a while since my kids started here but literally every morning we have problem preparing/ dropping off and its hard to see my kids are not happy where they go and they have to stay there for long time! I thought it’s the matter of getting used to the school. But still after months same story. I started paying attention to the details and see how other kids drop off is but I really don’t see any happy faces there ~ most kids don’t like to stay ~ I like how new the building is but I don’t think the quality of care is as expected. Here and there I hear how my kids dictate something with a mad attitude which I think they picked up from school and teachers, i understand they are kids and can pick these from anywhere but the words they use and their attitude is not something we use at home and they have limited screen time with educational contents only so I feel something is definitely wrong at this school.If you have other options go that route and prevent this school

They are forcing kids to sleep during nap time:Each class has two teachers for legal ratio, the rest and lunch time for teachers is kids nap time. If kids are napping the ratio could be one teacher for the class, so in that way teachers can go for lunch/rest.If some children not napping then they need two teachers and because they are under staff during lunch time they have to keep kids napping or stay quietly on their bed.This napping time last 2 to 3 hours, and if a child in not sleepy they force the kids to stay in bed during that long time, and listen to a loud white noise in dark room, it’s forcing kids to sleep.For kids that take nap there is no problem, but for kids that not taking nap(those out grow napping) it’s like a torture and will lead to consequences for child.They should provide options for kids are not taking nap, either have more teachers or assign a classroom for kids that not need nap and wants to play, in that way it will reduce pressure on teachers shoulder that desperately trying to put kids to sleep.This happen when companies want make more money and kids, parents and teacher face the problems.

7-26-21: Benihanas has gone downhill!! We have been customers for years and we are very disappointed at how things have changed. So much so I am actually posting it now. 30-45 min wait for drinks, servers training new servers and messing up orders and many delays! Food quality and quantities have deteriorated! Prices are up and quantities are smaller. All new faces and no sense of urgency or professionalism like before!!Best thing today was the water.Regretfully and sadly,Dan😟😩👎
