&quot;Out of School Time&quot; (OST) Guiding Hands Learning Center, located in El Segundo Plaza, offers a variety of programs for children of all ages. We offer before and after school programs, individualized tutoring and lesson planning, and educational workshops for children ages 4 and up. We offer a small, safe, and fun environment for children to learn and practice developmental skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. Our before school program begins at 7am and includes transportation to school. We have a safe, reliable van that we use for all transportation and a certified staff member with a class B license who transports the children. Because our programs are for children ages 4 and up, even if your child isn't in school yet or is home schooled, he or she is still welcome to join our &quot;Before School&quot; program to meet new friends, work on age appropriate worksheets and lessons, and expand his/her knowledge! Our After School program (grades K-5) also includes transportation - children are picked up from school and will be brought to our learning center, where they will receive assistance in completing their homework, be given individualized lesson plans and worksheets to enhance their understanding of what they're learning in school, and will have the chance to make friends from different schools! Parents are expected to pick children up from the center by 6:30 p.m., but we are flexible if you need a later pick-up time! We cater to all local elementary schools. All of our tutoring sessions are one hour long and are taught by certified, experienced college graduates. We offer tutoring for grades K-12, including GED and SAT prep. All of our tuition fees are fair and affordable, and there is not any kind of registration fee! Appointments for tutoring are required and can be made by calling or emailing us. Educational weekend workshops are held once or twice a month and all children ages 4 and up are welcome. Workshops include arts and crafts; interactive group games; a fun, education-based lesson; and other organized activities!

Our approach to learning is centered around how to become the best human we can to ourselves and to our fellow human neighbors.

Teaching emotional intelligence is the key to our school.

Licensed childcare in my home for infants to school-age kids. I offer pick-up from the local Elementary school in Torrance. I offer a very lightly structured program with plenty of free play both inside and outside. Full and part-time care provided included meals. I include an educational element, although it is very loosely structured. I have worked with children for many years and love to see them learn through play and interaction with each other. My prices are also very competitive. We spend time playing with puzzles, books, blocks, dolls, and other age-appropriate toys. We dance, listen to music, sing, practice colors, numbers, shapes and begin to get familiar with the alphabet. Outside we have a small slide, sandboxes, a play kitchen and house area. We also have balls, play animals, and some other fun activities included water play and bubbles. I offer homework help as well. My regular hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but I offer extended hours on a case by case basis.
