“Our family feels incredibly lucky to have found this special school. Through The Oaks’ play-based approach, our son has learned so much about himself and how to move through the world with confidence and curiosity. As the oldest parent-child workshop on the West Coast, its roots run deep. I’m reminded of this when I wear my Oaks hat around town, I’m almost always stopped by someone who attended years or sometimes decades ago, smiling as they share their memories. It’s a truly magical place that has been supporting Santa Barbara families since 1947.”

“We love Learningden! Our son is thriving in this wonderful environment. All the teachers and staff truly care about the children. The school is a vibrant, inclusive, safe and most importantly fun atmosphere. The cherry on top is that the students aren’t rushed. The day is thoughtfully curated with Music, STEAM activities, classroom time and ample outdoors. The school even provides healthy morning and mid day snacks. The whole team goes above and beyond. Can’t believe we get to have our child attend this amazing school! It feels how school should be…communal, thoughtful, engaging and full of love and fun. Bravo Learningden thank you for creating a haven outside of the home! It’s a SB gem 🫶🏽.”

“We are so beyond happy with our experience at Discoveries! The staff are like family to us and we trust them fully with our two boys. We’ve now been there for 2.5 years and are familiar with all of the teachers and can say for certain that they go above and beyond. I think it’s rare to find a school where everyone feels like family, yet you still have the structure, support, professionalism, and expertise of a well oiled machine. It goes without saying that our boys love it and are there M-F half days. Highly recommend!!”

“We adore little angels. Our daughter is in her second year there, and we have been so impressed by the personal attention from teachers, the creative and exciting projects, the wonderful children in her class and the great outdoors space. Our experience has been miles above our older child's experience with TK, especially with social-emotional teach through play, sweet and loving environment, and play that is more open-ended and inspiring creativity.”

“My 5 months old thrived at H4K La Cumbre. He would still be attending if we had not moved. Ms. Natalie, Ms. Marlene, and Ms. Marina felt like family. They helped my son learn how to sit independently, did lots of sensory play and art, and helped me get him on a solid napping schedule. You can see how much they love their jobs.Doing mostly nursing at home, they helped my son transition to purées. I miss H4K.”

“It’s a great place for the kids. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Kids learn in a fun way. Staff always makes sure that the kids are safe because that is one of their main concerns. They ALWAYS protect the integrity of the kids. They also care about the parents and their well-being. They also help kids that go through emotional trauma and offer many resources. My daughter was there for 2 years, and she absolutely loved it ”
