Kindercare Learning Center

Do not send your child here! My husband and I decided to send our two year old to daycare here two days out of the week. The first week he was so excited and we would get updates on the app on how he was doing. Week two he didn't want me to leave him and that was strange because he has always been a happy kid. On October 30th was picture day . Around 10:15am I received one call no voicemail while I was at work. I happened to glance at my email and it was a message from the Director Derek. It stated that my son was fine and that he and a classmate were throwing soft blocks at each other and before the teacher could intervene the other kid scratched my son on his nose. I called the school to see what was going on and if my son was ok. He stated that everything is fine and they were just being boys. I asked how did the scratches look and he said they were small. I felt uneasy and decided to leave work early and go get my child. As I walk into school I stopped by the office and asked if I needed to sign paper work and Derek says oh no it's with the teacher. When I got to the class all the kids were in the middle of nap time. My child was far away from all of the other kids with a nose full of snot. My child's face look like a wild animal attacked him. I checked his body and it looked like he was being chocked and he had a scratch under his neck and the back of it and hands. As I look at the indent report the teacher had the nerve to draw a happy face on the paperwork. I went back to Derek's office and told him this is unacceptable this is a "you need to pick him up now situation" he's response was cold and he said "IM SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY" this man never once got up to look at the wounds on my child her just didn't care. On my way home Derek sends me an apology email instead of talking to me in person. My husband went to the school and showed Derek the pictures of our child's wounds and told him to find out what really happened to our kid. He came back and had the teacher rewrite the incident report and put severely injured and where and when it happened. We asked for the district managers number and if she could give us a call. She calls us the next day and gives us a whole different story on what happened. She stated that Derek says that my son and another kid were playing together and throwing soft blocks and the teacher yells across the room to tell them to stop. Another kids grabs my child and scratches him and my child tries to get away from being attacked. Why wasn't my child protected! This is not ok! Now the state is getting involved!

I highly recommend Greenwood Avenue Kindercare to parents of babies and toddlers in the Torrance area. Since 2020, my wife and I have enrolled our two daughters at this location and we are consistently impressed with the hands-on staff and curriculum-based approach, from the intent and toddler program classes through Pre-K. Both of my children have unique personalities, and we truly appreciate receiving detailed, up-to-date feedback about each of them, not only from their teachers but also from the management team [Special shoutout to Ms. Jasmine, who has been at this location for some time and has always been lovely to our children]. While we have seen some staff turnover in the past, 2025 has brought greater stability, which is always welcome. Most importantly, the children are safe, well cared for, and are actively learning.

Great staff and environment for our children. We have a 22 month and 6 month old who are both at the Greenwood Kindercare. They have both noticeably advanced since going to the center. The communication from teachers and site director have been top notch! We look forward to getting the daily photos via KLC app showing the kiddos having fun and smiling

Greenwood KinderCare has a professional and fun environment feeling which plays a very positive, important role in my childrens lives. Both of my children have started in the infant classroom and one is now in the pre-k whilst the other is in the toddler classroom. I have seen positive outcomes in my children such as, developing social skills, learning structure and routine, no TV, educational and art activities, having fun/play time with friends, emotional growth, diverse learning experiences and preparation for school. The teachers are very caring, attentive and have open communication which I greatly value and trust. I get regular daily updates on my children through the daycare’s application. They share with me on how my kids did that day, and during drop off and pick up, they are very easy to talk to. The teachers and directors answer my questions and get back to me whenever I send them questions via message, phone or when I ask in person. The facilities are safe, clean, and the daycare is an open door policy where I (the parent) can swing by unannounced to see how my little ones are doing during the day. I have to admit that I got EXTREMELY lucky as there was a waitlist and I signed before COVID was over (2021) so I did have to wait a bit, but after some time, spots opened up. It was understandable due to the overwhelming increase in demand of childcare has gone up in recent times. I am grateful to have found a daycare that makes my children feel supported and nurtured everyday.

I was very hesitant to send my baby to daycare because she doesn't like to sleep in a crib. The teachers welcomed her with open arms and slowly and gently transitioned her to sleep in a crib. They did not leave her to cry and often soothed her when she needed love. She has grown to love daycare and I can see the passion in all of the teachers in the infant classroom. The teachers really care about the students and their families. I am so glad that I chose this daycare. It is really top notch.
