The teachers were motivated, caring and attentive. The kids learned something new every day. They "graduated" to upper campus in fall of 2023. Both girls had wonderful experiences. Some other parents asked about the turnover amongst the staff. Admin has such clear goals and expectations, and they do such a good job vetting their staff that turnover was hardly even noticed. The new staff slotted right in, continuing the existing program with no disruptions to the kids' schedules. And each new member was a wonderful addition to my girls' lives. Both of our girls entered TK well above grade level in their numeracy and literacy skills. And it's not like her parents are geniuses. We cannot recommend Learning Den highly enough.

The staff are incredible and meet your child where they are at with kindness, patience, and intent. I would recommend the Learning Den to any parent who wants to see their child grow and flourish.

Even though Luca was here for a short time, the staff took the time to learn about him in advance so he was set up for success on day one. They went out of their way to accommodate his nutritional needs. He participated in a lot of fun activities and we got updates and pictures so we knew what he as up to which was both fun and reassuring. And he came home happy every day! If we lived in Santa Barbara we would feel lucky yo bring him here every day, and we cannot wait to come back. Thanks to Dominique, Diego, Dava, and Tamara!!!

Hope 4 Kids is an exceptional school and Teresa (program director) and Cherie (the head of school)…read morehave built something amazing in Santa Barbara. We had to spend three months in Santa Barbara in 2019 for family reasons, and wanted to take advantage of the time there to let our 19 month old get socialized in a pre-school. We live in LA, so naturally compared Hope 4 Kids to some of the places we've looked at in LA, like CEE, Christopher Robin, and numerous other really nice, 'fancy' pre-schools. Hope 4 Kids is nicer than them all, and provides an amazing foundation for kids to learn. The 'outdoor education project' approach of the school has led the school to build an incredible outdoor classroom, and the kids are always engaged and having fun while learning, mostly in the outdoors. Teresa's enthusiasm for this outdoor classroom initiative is contagious, and from the moment we were introduced to the school we were certain that it was a great choice for our son. The faculty/student ratio is really low, and every teacher and teacher's aide we met was highly engaged and held to a really high standard of care for the kids and professionalism. We love this school and were so sad to leave Santa Barbara and H4K. It's an amazing place. (please also note that we are not particularly religious - this school is affiliated with a church, but operates on basic human principles of a respect for others and the beautiful world around us)

Trinity Preschool is a HUGE blessing in our lives. Our 3 year old daughter started there about 8…read moremonths ago, and she has thrived in such a short time. When we toured Trinity, the director Arianna really took time with us, and let us ask as many questions as we needed to, without rushing us (and trust me, I came with a list and a clipboard ;) That really meant a lot to us, because we wanted to make sure the school would be a good fit for our family. They have a huge grass area, and a gated play area with a large jungle gym, sand zone, water zone...and our daughters favorite...the tricycle path. All equipment is kept very clean, and the school rotates all of the activities, so the kids are always stimulated with new fun activities. The classrooms are kept very clean, organized, and my favorite...decorated with all of the children's art work and creations. They have different "zones" in the rooms, and many of them incorporate the Bible with learning: library, art and crafts, building, kitchen, dramatic play, just to name a few. Our daughter is always learning something new, and building on her small and large motor skills. The registration process was quite thorough (as it must be...they are going to be responsible for the wellbeing of your child), and Arianna made herself available for any questions we had along the way. One attribute that we really like with Trinity is they use Procare...an App where we check in and out, can "text" teachers notes and ask questions (and I can tell you, the teachers at Trinity have GREAT communication skills, and will send photos almost daily of your child's activities - we always feel more connected with our daughter through these photos, because then we can ask things like: did you have fun building that giant tower with legos...and who was that friend building with you?) We can't recommend Trinity enough, the teachers are AMAZING and have always made us feel like part of a "team" with our daughter. They have taught her so many wonderful things, aided us in the potty training process, and show her Christ's love everyday. Thank you Trinity for everything you have given to our family, we feel so blessed to be a part of yours!

My little one attended for two years and recently finished Kindergarten. This school was truly the best preschool experience we could have ever asked for. I was very nervous at first as a first time mom to send my child to a school where we knew no one, she was not potty trained yet, and unfortunately because of covid, had not had many interactions with other kids at the time. But wow am I so glad we had this experience! From the principal, to the staff, to the other families - everyone truly loves and cares for this school. That is something that showed from our first day to our last day here. My little one would come home everyday with different stories about her teachers and friends, sing songs she learned, showed off the crafts she made, and tell me how much fun she had at school that day. Little Angels truly made my child so confident, happy, and I knew she would always be loved and taken care of here.

I am confident that my son's safety, well being and happiness are top priority with his teachers and the other children at the school. The few months that we have been apart of this community have already influenced our whole family. They are helping us to parent in loving and kind ways, and my son is more confident in his abiliites daily. I am grateful to have found a loving school for my son, where he is modeled, in both action and word, how to be a loving and kind human.
