During covid times staff was diligent about temperature checking, wearing masks and notifying parents if any staff or students tested positive for Covid19.

Here's what I love about it. #1: Everything is very clean. #2: Check in and out is a very secure process. #3: Staff is always warm and kind, my son feels loved and cared for. They really know him, his personality, his emotional needs & they would let me know if he had even a slightly off day. They never made him feel unwanted and I never worried about him not being looked out for. #4: So many fun dress up days, water days during the summer, the cutest winter recitals and a great park! #5: Just the right amount of programming placed on math, reading writing, and we would get assessments on our sons progress and where his strengths were/where he needed work. As a busy family with full time jobs we don't have a ton of time to get a head start on education so he can start Kindergarten with confidence. Little Flowers is doing that for us. #6: The price is fair, it's right around where everyone else is priced, in fact, when I was shopping for child care, this place was the most affordable in Vacaville, other than in home daycares. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign to get signed up. We did have to get on a waitlist as they do take staff to student ratios very seriously and they were full, so don't wait! Thanks again Little Flowers!

VACAVILLE LOCATION Recommend: NO…read more Advice: RUN Appreciation to the director, Lisa and the Bumblebee teachers (Ms. Penny, Ms. Z, and Ms. Amanda) We have a young child and am speaking from our experience with the ladybug class (1 year olds). We are sharing from a place of flexibility, a understanding that mistakes happen, and that we are all ultimately human. However, it becomes concerning when it becomes a pattern. Some teachers presented as overwhelmed, stressed, unkept, careless, burned out and not interested in the child's well-being. Here are several examples: 1. At pick up, another child was wearing our child's change of clothes, despite the clothes being clearly labeled, inside of a clearly labeled bag, AND even inside a clearly labeled cubby that displayed a 8 x 10 photo of our child. 2. A teacher would gossip about other parents in my presence. 3. Our child came home dirty everyday. Let us repeat EVERYDAY. Dirty clothes, yes, but we are referring to filthy face and hair. Dirt, food, snot. Perhaps wiping a face of a child not old enough to do it themselves is not in their standard procedure? 4. Almost weekly, our child's pacifier was being used by another child. This was documented in their posted photos to sutterfly. Teachers did catch this and we understand these are 1 year olds. however, at times teachers have been observed talking among themselves and just sitting there not presently engaging the children and makes one wonder if there were times this was not caught. 5. MULTIPLE times we were asked to update the same paperwork within days to a week of submitting the original. Perhaps misplaced? Overwhelmed? Careless? 6. Eliminating the lunch service was a disappointment. On numerous occasions, teachers verbal report of our child's food and milk intake were inconsistent with the daily written report and even the food left in their lunchbox. We had to throw out perishable items from their lunchbox after we arrived home as numerously the items (yes, nutritious) were not offered to our child at lunch time. When inquired, it was not due to the child declining the item, the teacher took the initiative and decided to save the item for the child's snack. BUT the center provides a snack and the item was forgotten to even be served at snack time. 7. The director and teachers information to parents were numerously inconsistent and contradictory. Confusing. The center did not foster an application of individual development for the 1 year olds. Infants, less than 1, are able to nap based on the child's needs. However, the 1 year old class is structured for children to only have 1 nap at a set time and bottles are highly 'discouraged.' Not child-centered. The littles are forced to fit inside this one-size-fits-all box. Again, not focused on individual development. This may work great for some children but our child at 14 months sometimes needs 2 naps. They may 'say' they will offer another nap but some teachers are not attuned to individual needs and cues. When masks were required by the State and County, a few teachers wore masks inappropriately or even not at all. Unfortunately, they were maskless for the young children that at the time didn't have the option of vaccination due to their age. This was not a isolated experience as the department of social services licensing observed a staff wearing their mask below their chin in the preschool class when required to do so.

They are safe, responsible and really love what they do. I started her when she was 5 months old and had to go back to work. As any parent would be, I was nervous. But the staff at TLE made me feel so comfortable and secure when I first visited and have never let me down since. They always provide detailed updates and photos through their app. I love seeing my daughter participate in reading circles, art and science projects, music time (she loves to dance) and general fun with her classmates. Plus, she loves the food. While my daughter has only been in two classrooms (infant and toddler), I've had the opportunity to meet several teachers. They are all dedicated and happy to help and answer any and all questions (and I have a lot). The front staff, Miss Biane and Miss Jade, are also wonderful. They keep us up to date on everything going on with the school and are great at posting notices and protecting students from the various illnesses that our kids pass around. I couldn't have picked a better place for my daughter and she'll be at TLE until she's off to kindergarten.

I enrolled my Daughter on December 27th 2021 and Withdrew by January 5th 2022…read more Center Director and Business Manager take zero accountability for their lack of communication and breach of contract. What they offer in the Family Handbook is not the service they actually provide. The contract they give you is not accurate but they don't notify you of that they expect you to guess. Center Director Sabrina Oldani became disengaged and ignored me and my child after I complained about their lack of communication and breech of contract. She was not welcoming. Did not welcome my child nor introduce herself to my child. I'm really not sure what her job is or why she sits in a reception area and then doesn't receive the children with any positive energy. Just, yuck energy and unprofessional. Business Manager Jenny is deceptive and will talk in circles to avoid any accountability for the behavior of her staff or the lack of communication or follow through on the promises made in the Family Handbook meant to give Families a Top Tier experience which you absolutely pay for by the way. I found her to be condescending and dismissive of my experience. She makes excuses and passes blame onto the parent for not knowing their policies...when they don't seem to know them either. Ultimately, while the curriculum seems pretty cool, they are under staffed. They do not communicate (see previous 5 star review from another yelper that addresses the lack of communication as well so it's not just a ME problem as Jenny tried to indicate when I spoke with her). They do not take COVID seriously and just had an outbreak where my Daughter was exposed and has to quarantine now. They do not have children wash their hands when they get dropped off nor have them wear masks and even after the outbreak I witnessed Sabrina with her mask down and not socially distancing. They allow parents all throughout the facility. On at least 3 occasions when I popped in unannounced to drop off paperwork I could hear the infant room and the babies were crying as though they were distressed and they were crying for a long time. On one occasion I heard a Teacher yell at an infant to "Knock it off, just because you can't get what you want!" While the baby cried. After 2 weeks of attending this school....my Daughter still didn't know the names of any of the adults watching her everyday except for her main Teacher who was only there the first week. My daughter is exceptionally smart and a big communicator so her not knowing the names of the people watching her told me that they were not forming relationships with her at all and/or had a revolving door of people in her classroom. Which is also probably why she came in contact with COVID. **They charge an extra $55 if you drop off your kids between 630a - 8am. and a $35 fee if they stay till 6:30p. *$1385 a month was what I was paying ***Check Glass Door and read the reviews from employees of The Learning Experience as a whole. What you will see are consistent complaints of being understaffed, disorganized, high turn over, lack of care from Management ect. from all over the country which shows you they have a flawed business model as a whole (I wish I would have checked this before deciding on this place) My final takeaway is that the Management staff just wants to get as many people enrolled as possible. The teachers I met all seemed to be cool and the only staff members I found to be distasteful for me personally were Sabrina and Jenny. But anyway be aware and good luck. Maybe you'll have a better experience than I did but it was too many red flags on the play for me.
