About Us
Who We Are
Tinkertots Early Learning Center envisions developing a safe and nurturing environment where every child can thrive and grow. We deliver inspiring, high-quality educational experiences that foster curiosity, compassion, and creativity, supporting the whole child's development and a lifelong love of learning.
Tinkertots caters to children ages 17 months to 4 years, offering programs from Playgroups to Preschool. We focus on developing essential life skills through play, nurturing relationships, and a curriculum based on the Early Years Foundation Stage's (EYFS) UK framework. The curriculum supports holistic development across academic, social, emotional, and physical areas, preparing children for a smooth transition to primary school and future growth.
Through these meaningful engagements, Tinkertots aspires to empower children to realize their fullest potential.

A Safe & Nurturing Community
Two vibrant branches, each offering a warm and enriching environment for young learners. Our Angeles branch, located in an activity-rich complex, provides a unique setting—a home away from home where learning is fun and meaningful. Meanwhile, our San Fernando branch, nestled within a secure gated village, offers a peaceful and accessible space at the heart of the city.
Our Principles
Four principles underpin the learning and development that children take part in through the EYFS Curriculum. These principles guide our approach to early childhood education.
