Hands down the best pre-school/day care in Santa Barbara. My two youngest have both gone here. The administration, teachers, staff are very dedicated and engaged with your little ones learning processes.

Review for modoc upper campus: We moved to the area and were recommended the learning den one year ago. We could not be happier with the school, teachers and children. Erica is thoughtful, straight forward and organized. The classrooms are clean and organized. The teachers are loving and tender. They treat my son as if they were family. They guided me for 1y of socialization and building skills for my son that will for sure be essential for kinder. He is 5yo and he is reading and learned all the letters in school. Lots of art, beautiful outdoor space and lots of activities. Beautiful library and a true gem in Santa Barbara. Wonderful hours for working parents. Mrs Stephanie and Mrs. Jessica were essential to my sons year and I will be forever grateful to have chosen the upper campus at the learning den. We are sad about his last day tomorrow and he will miss his friends deeply.

Learningden was such an amazing experience for my son. Their approach to early childhood education is exactly what we were looking for. They teach the children ways to solve their issues rather than separating them from the problem. For example, if two children have an argument, they will show them how to talk it out and move forward. Each staff member treats the children with respect as "friends," which was very important to my husband and I, as we feel that children deserve just as much respect as any adult. They offer a wide range of activities for the children, from P.E., stretch and grow, Chinese class and math to wood work and water play. Another great thing about Learningden is the communication. I received photos of my child almost daily of what he was up to, which would alway put a smile on my face. This school is a wonderful place and we were so sad to leave due to relocation. I have tried like crazy to find a place like this one, and simply can't. I am so thankful for all the confidence and happiness that this school has provided my son.
