Learning Links Preschool

My kids both went to Learning Links for several years and loved it! My 5-year-old is now in Kindergarten, and we still remember LL fondly and recommend it to all our friends. As some reviews state, there were some administrative and teacher turnover challenges for a period, but we never felt affected by it, and my children always thrived. The teachers are so wonderful, and it seems like many of the administrative challenges have resolved. In addition to the teachers, we loved the large outdoor play area that the facility provides. Childcare is expensive here, but we found LL to be a good value and didn't mind paying to make sure teachers are properly compensated.

My son, who is autistic, attends Learning Links Preschool and I could not be more thrilled with our experience. From the very first day, the staff has been incredibly welcoming and supportive. They truly understand how to meet each child where they are and help them grow. As parents of a neurodivergent child, we often feel like we’re playing catch-up or that our child is “behind.” At Learning Links, it has been such a joy — and a relief — to see him not just included, but truly thriving. That feeling is priceless. I honestly wish I had started him here earlier. I’ve seen so much progress in my son — socially, academically, and in his confidence — and I know it’s because of the dedication of the teachers. They’ve done a wonderful job preparing him for kindergarten, while also making sure he feels safe and supported. It’s also clear how much the other children love their teachers, which speaks volumes about the positive and nurturing environment. The curriculum is rich and well-rounded, with lots of engaging activities that keep the kids excited about learning. Parents are kept involved with events and communication, which really helps us feel connected to what’s happening in the classroom. The facilities are excellent — safe, secure, clean, bright, and colorful — with a wonderful sensory room that has been such a valuable resource for my son. Even my older daughter, who comes with me at pick-up and drop-off, has fallen in love with Learning Links. She often says she wishes she had gone here for preschool instead — and I completely agree. We are so grateful for everything Learning Links has done for our family. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a supportive, enriching, and joyful preschool experience.

We can’t say enough good things about our experience at Learning Links, Burlingame! Our son has been attending for the past 1.5 years, and from the very first day, it was clear this school was something special. The teachers and staff created such a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment, not just for our son, but for our entire family. It meant so much to us that everyone, from teachers to directors, made a genuine effort to get to know us, and learn/remember all of our names! Shoutout to Teacher Guillermo and Teacher Nallely for their incredible support and guidance! Not only did they establish a sweet friendship with our son, but they also taught him so much. From helping him develop essential social skills and having the tools to navigate social situations, to laying a foundation in early academics. Guillermo & Nallely played a huge part in preparing our son for TK. Their kind, communicative, and joy-filled approach made each day fun and meaningful! We also loved all the other staff at LLB too! They were always kind, silly in the best ways, and genuinely invested in each child’s experience. They take the time to engage with kids on their level and fostered a joyful, inclusive environment where every child could thrive. Shoutout to Grace, Nayla & Charlene for being such cheery and welcoming faces each morning! The classrooms were always clean and thoughtfully organized, filled with engaging materials that sparked curiosity and learning. From sensory play to dance parties, art, and imaginative play, the variety of activities was perfect for supporting every aspect of developmental growth. Our son has learned so much from being here! We also loved how the school encouraged family involvement. There were multiple family events throughout the year, which made it easy to feel connected to the community and involved in our child’s experience. Communication was always open, thoughtful, and timely—we always felt in the loop. We are genuinely sad to be leaving because our son has graduated. He thrived here, and we’ll miss the entire staff and the sweet preschool community! We plan to send our second child to Learning Links! Thank you Learning Links for giving our family such a fantastic start to early education!

Love the center! Our kids spent several years here, as well as many other parents. There was some admins changes in 2024 but luckily most lead teachers in each class stay. The lead teachers are all wonderful. We really appreciate the dedication of care givers here.

*READ BEFORE ENROLLING* Learning Links administration is awful and has poor communication. My experience there was terrible and it is clear that the center prioritizes enrollment numbers over child safety. * My daughter was injured in class after a child threw a chair at her head, this child needed more support which was echoed by the teachers and administration HOWEVER nothing was done - their solution was to take an EXISTING teacher in that classroom and have them do 1:1 supervision. This obviously takes away from the safety and care of the others ~17 children and is not sustainable, because just 3 weeks later the same child hit my daughter on the head. * Throughout my experience, the administration does a great job at listening and... that's it! No communication on support plan, escalation or anything was shared. * My daughter adored all of her teachers, they are nurturing and amazing, but the frustration amongst staff with the administration is obvious and as a result, turnover is high. The administration (center director and regional director) fail to do their job, unfortunately this comes at the cost of our children.
