Learning Links Mountain View is a CCLD-licensed infant and toddler provider at 260 Escuela Ave in Mountain View, serving ages 0–5 with year-round enrollment. Established in 2006, it uses Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum and maintains extended hours (7:00 AM–6:00 PM) with flexible scheduling to support working families. Its 23 Yelp reviews average 4.4 stars, and the center holds a clean inspection record through September 2025. Very limited capacity (16 children maximum) means waitlists are likely, and absence of NAEYC accreditation is a notable gap for families seeking nationally recognized standards.
