I did a tour of this school today along with 2 others. This school was by far the best one we looked at and Sandra was absolutely wonderful with her tour! Not only is she very beautiful and kind but she was very professional and she did not miss a beat she explained everything to me and I pretty much had no questions after my tour! This school is spotless and the curriculum is out of this world I was blown away by that. I was also very impressed with the classrooms. We have definitely picked this as our pre school and my son was so excited he didn't want to leave! Very impressed and Sandra was amazing!....update: My son and I went back to the school today to drop off all of his paperwork and finalize his position for the fall...once again the staff was very accommodating and professional and we are super excited for him to start school there in August!

We have had our Son at TLE for most of his life. We could not ask for anything more and we have been nothing but pleased. The curriculum has our Son speaking ahead of most at his age, the teaching methods using modern day technology are invaluable, and the teaching and center staff have all been fantastic to work with when it comes to communication and feedback. Overall fantastic experience! We will miss TLE, as he is moving to the next grade up this fall. 5 stars! Heather & Steven

My husband and I have recently been looking around at different facilities for our son to continue his VPK education since a previous unpleasant experience at another local VPK. We decided to take our son for a tour of The Learning Experience in Apopka last week and were all really happy with what we saw. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the facility itself is very organized and clean. Lisa, who gave us the tour, was super sweet and answered all of our questions. The two factors that won me over are the safety features of the facility and the fact that they teach the kids Spanish. My son was able to play at the inside play area for a few minutes while we were there too, and he really enjoyed it. We are really excited for our son to get started here and are sure he will learn and grow tremendously in this environment.

Hi there! My name is Bryanna and I am thrilled to join your TLE family as the Center Director! I have worked as an Early Learning Professional for 20 years.

I am so grateful for the people that had led me to be the Director I am today.
