The Learning Company and Academy

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! My daughter Anna went here for 2 years, and she loved it. Great school, warm, home-​like atmosphere. Great teachers, and miss Joan is just a sweetheart… Such a great experience!

Both my son and daughter attended preschool and kindergarten classes here. Miss Joan and the entire staff pay extra attention to each child and the growth both my kids made was a true reflection of the staff’s talent. So many wonderful and different activities provide a very rounded experience for the child and get them prepared for their next step in schooling: whether public or private school. Both kids now go to public school and are way ahead of the rest of their respective classmates in their grade in respects to reading, spelling, math… essentially all the basics. No matter which path of schooling you choose for your children, the Learning Academy gets them off to a great start. Such an enjoyable experience for all involved. Can’t say enough.

I love TLC. This is my 5^th and sadly last year with them. We had just moved to San Jose and were going crazy trying to find a well rounded program for our first daughter when we saw their ad in Bay Area parent magazine, visited the school and instantly signed up! Miss Joan runs a very good academic program complemented by PE, daily music, Arts, Spanish, cooking classes (preschoolers only), almost monthly field trips and several plays performed throughout the year. The teachers teach at each students level moving at your child’s pace. They are open to suggestions and ideas from parents. I like the individual attention that the kids get here. Miss Lillian is a very warm and loving individual making sure that the children eat their lunch and this was very important to me. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a cozy, loving environment for their little ones!

My daughter started at The Learning Company and Academy right when she turned 2yr 9mo. 3 months later she can count to 10 (in English and Spanish, almost 20 in English), knows the days of the week, knows the all her colors in Spanish, 5 different dinosaurs and specific traits they each have, and can spell her name (verbally). All before she turns three. Joan has done a wonderful job putting a program together that is fun and interactive. They are big in music and have the kids do short nursery rhyme plays.
My husband and I are beyond pleased with the teachers and the atmosphere at TLC. I recommend it to every parent I talk to and will definitely be taking any future kids we have here.

My husband and I discovered The Learning Company (TLC) while searching for the right preschool for our first child. After interviewing many other local preschools, we were immediately impressed with the gentle nature of the TLC staff, the organized curriculum, the cleanliness of the room, and the extra activities they encourage throughout the school year. There are field trips nearly once a month, themed musicals, and some Spanish education through song. After visiting the Open House and learning all of the above, there was no hesitation with enrolling our first child.
Since then, we have enrolled our second child and have been a participant in the school for nearly 4 years, with at least another 2 years to go. It has been the ultimate joy watching our children thrive in the TLC environment. The main director, Miss Joan, has an obvious love for helping shape young minds. Her entire staff is equally as caring, gentle, and consistent with Miss Joan’s core teaching principles. Miss Lillian, Miss Yolanda, and Miss Janelle are all a pleasure to interact with, too!
My family and I highly recommend TLC for anyone who is looking for the perfect fit for your child to embark upon their first journey into education. This is more than a preschool at times. It often feels like family.

My second child is close to finishing her 3^rd year at The Learning Company and Academy and I am so sad that she will be leaving for 1^st grade. The school provides care and academics for pre-​schoolers up to Kindergarten. My child is prepared for 1^st grade and will excel and I have the school to thank of that. Miss Joan, the owner and primary teacher, has done an excellent job instructing and nurturing both my children.
At the school both of my kids had great experiences and were surround by great kids and teachers. They loved the art projects, monthly field trips, music lessons, play time and the educational piece as well. Learning was made fun!
I would encourage all parents to check out the school. It is a great place to send your children.
