    My son is currently enrolled and I've had nothing but great experiences with TLC. Mrs.Yvette and Ms. Malina are the best. This is my son's first year in school and Mrs.Yvette is so welcoming and supportive, my son has grown an attachment to her. I feel at ease leaving my child at school, I truly feel my son is safe and will take care of him like their own!

    From the first time I set foot to take a tour of TLC Norwalk with Miss Nicole to see if it was the right place for my daughter, my mommy intuitions told me my daughter would be safe. My daughter's first teachers were Miss Ivette and Miss Stephanie and they were both so sweet to the kids and always so helpful when my daughter needed extra attention. TLC always communicates with us parents and Miss Blanca the director is always attentive to what's going on to keep the facility safe. Having a child at daycare can be scary for parents but I'm at ease because of all the teachers at TLC (you guys are amazing and I'm grateful!)

    I have fallen in love with TLC all over again. My oldest daughter attended TLC nearly 15 years ago and now my little one is 2nd to attend and it's even more amazing now. She's in room 3 with Mrs Yvette and Ms Malina and she's thriving. I feel so at ease knowing how much my little one is loving her class and I see her development. She's learning new things everyday, being challenged and is being supported in her pre school journey. I highly recommend TLC to help your little one fully embrace their developmental journey into school, learning, and evolvement.

    Going on 3 years at this daycare preschool and I am still exceptionally pleased with our oldest daughter's experience here. My 2nd daughter who turned 2 last summer started as soon as she was able and we have also been very happy with her development here. I also have to give a shout out to our school for being open for us parents who need them for care during this pandemic. Even though it didn't make financial sense for them to stay open when the quarantine started, they did so to help us parents who still needed to work. I have heard from many friends that their daycare preschools closed leaving them stranded without childcare. Not TLC! They are the best school ever! I will also definitely be enrolling my 6 month old boy-girl twins once they turn 2.

    Both of my kids attend TLC Learning Center, i am very happy and pleased with this school. Both of my kids graduated preschool from here and let me tell you, both of them were academically ready for Kinder. They learned all the basics that prepares them for Kinder. All teachers are very sweet and patient with the little ones, making them feel safe and loved. Now that my kids are in elementary, they now attend the TLC after school program. If you are thinking to enroll your little ones, do it! I highly recommend.

Sunnyday learning center has left me at ease to leave my child under supervision that isn't mine. The school is very organized, attentive, helpful, and the staff is overall amazing. If I felt like a daycare was not meeting my wants and needs I would've taken him out but I truly feel safe here and even take the extra drive because of how safe I feel with my son here. It is a small school so that's good! They pay attention to my son and have days where they know if something feels off with him. (Not even sleep) Things I really enjoy here are: -lunch is provided for an extra small fee (I don't have to worry about meal prep) -they potty train -they really look out for your child's progression here. The amount of phrases and words my child has learned even surprises me. -outdoor play and themed weeks sometimes -written reports when there's an incident (behavior or injury) -calls are given promptly if something if your child would occur. -washing of hands around the clock to make sure they don't spread germs. -use of phone app to inform parents on school schedule -tuition affordability -interactive through the app with pictures on your child's day (special event, holidays, or even activities) -nap time (because we all need one!) I'm happy to have found this place. It really gives me a peace of mind whenever I drop off my child. The staff is nothing but patient and hardworking. I'll be sad when my son's age term is up!

They run a wonderful summer program with activities such as water balloon toss, reptile and bubble shows. My child always looks forward to these activities.

This year he moved on to kindergarten, and he was more than ready thanks to the incredible foundation he received here. Happy Land is extraordinary, not only academically, where children leave knowing their colors, shapes, alphabet, numbers, sounds, and even how to write their full name, but also socially and emotionally. The kids learn how to share, wait their turn, raise their hand for questions, and treat friends and adults with kindness and respect. Most importantly, they are taught strong values such as responsibility, patience, gratitude, and compassion, which shine through in everything they do. As a parent, it gives you true peace of mind knowing your child is in great hands: learning, growing in character, making friends, and enjoying delicious meals every day. Their birthday and holiday celebrations are also so special, creating beautiful core memories for both kids and parents. It's also a huge plus that they're open year-round (with the exception of holidays and a well-deserved winter break) We are so grateful for our time at Happy Land and highly recommend it to any family looking for a safe, loving, and value-filled environment for their child.

I do want to start off by saying Ms. Karla and Mrs. Jasmine in the office as well as many of the other teachers were amazing in the almost 4 years that my other children attended. Up until my youngest son started at Kiddie Academy I loved the school, referred people to the school and spoke so highly of it but after this incident and how HR and Corporate are handling it, it's extremely unprofessional and unacceptable. On July 2, 2026, an incident occurred between my infant son and an employee. Management reviewed surveillance footage of the incident, and the employee was subsequently removed from the classroom and terminated. Based on what I witnessed myself and what was communicated to me regarding the footage, the incident involved the employee flicking my son's in the nose, smacking his arm which made him scream and cry and flicking remaining water from her hands into his face after washing her hands. I reported the matter to Community Care Licensing and the Buena Park Police Department. One of my biggest concerns has been the handling of the surveillance footage. I specifically requested that the footage be preserved because it documented what happened to my son. I was later informed that the surveillance system automatically overwrites footage after approximately four days and that the footage was no longer available. I have repeatedly asked why footage involving an incident serious enough to result in an employee's termination was not preserved, particularly after I requested that it be saved. I have not received an explanation. I have also repeatedly requested complete written documentation regarding the incident. After more than two months of requests my emails went unread and phone calls and voicemails never answered or called back. I finally emailed again stating all the violations they were violating by keeping this information from me and sure enough I received an report that was not filled out correctly. In my opinion, the report did not adequately document what management had observed on the surveillance footage. Instead of describing the specific actions involving my son, the report stated that the "employee was terminated for not follow Kiddie Academy policies and procedures" and stated nothing else. I've emailed them again asking for a corrected report and again have been left without a response! I have also raised concerns about discrepancies between what I was told occurred and information provided in connection with the Community Care Licensing investigation. I have repeatedly requested clarification regarding those discrepancies. Throughout this process, I have sent multiple emails, made phone calls, and contacted HR and corporate seeking answers and documentation concerning my own child. Many of my questions have gone unanswered, and I have experienced significant difficulty obtaining responses. What concerns me most as a parent is the lack of transparency and communication after such a serious incident involving an infant who could not speak for himself. I am sharing my personal experience and the events as they were communicated to me and documented through my communications with the HR, corporate, law enforcement, and Community Care Licensing. Parents considering this facility may want to ask specific questions about: * How long surveillance footage is retained * Under what circumstances footage involving a serious incident is preserved * How incidents involving employees are documented * What information is reported to Community Care Licensing * What documentation parents receive when an incident involves their child * How HR and corporate communicate with families after a serious incident And what are they doing to protect our children. I trusted this facility with my infant son. After what occurred, I expected transparency, accurate documentation, preservation of relevant information, and timely communication. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. I have made numerous attempts to address these concerns privately before posting publicly. I am sharing my experience now because I believe other parents have the right to ask these questions and make informed decisions about who they trust to care for their children.

She was also not yet independently using the restroom among various other concerns. In our search, we visited various schools, some that we were highly impressed with.

She listened to our concerns and never made us feel as though our daughter was behind; we could tell right away that she understood kids and that she truly cared and was knowledgeable about their development. She was open and honest in her communication and was just a very warm and welcoming person in general. During her year there, our daughter learned so much! I don't mean an academic focus (which is still there) but in other ways; she's now more social, independent, and her communication skills have improved.
