We just switched to the Learning Experience after being in another local daycare for over a year. I was fearful that my son would not adjust well and hesitated on even switching daycares for that reason. Like any other toddler they go through their separation anxiety phase and Tyler would cry at drop offs because he was unfamiliar with the new teachers as well as other kids. From day 1, Ms. Monica would take Tyler from me and distract him to stop him from crying and he felt comfortable with her immediately. Ms. Monica, Ms. Diane, and Ms. Nikki all treat my son as if he were their own child. I love how the staff treats my kids as if they've been attending the Learning Experience for years (though it's only been a couple of weeks.) I look forward to seeing my kids learn and have fun at the same time!

We were really nervous about finding a daycare/school for our one-year-old. She has now been at The Learning Experience in Basking Ridge for almost one year and loves it. The curriculum, even at her young age, is impressive. Every day her class does an art project and they also focus on a related song, book, and movement activity. She is always talking about her teachers, friends, and the activities like "circle time." We could not be happier and we will soon be enrolling our second child in the infant program. Thank you TLE!

TLE is the best school for our son Trace. He loves going everyday to see his friends and teacher. I can't believe how much he enjoys to learn and do homework. We have the choice to send Trace to public Kindergarten this year but have made the decision to keep him at TLE. We know Trace loves TLE and the education and curriculum offered will make him ahead of the mainstream. We couldn't be more pleased with Anthony and his staff! I recommend the school whenever I have an opportunity to do so! We love you TLE!

I would recommend this beautiful center to my friends and neighbors, and in fact I have done that. I am a true supporter of the teachers and staff in general and love not only what they do for us as a family, but most importantly for my daughter. I always feel comfortable at work knowing she's in a safe environment learning and having fun. She was in a previous daycare and the experience was not nearly as positive as here at TLE. Thanks to everyone for all they do. TLE is an amazing place from my own experience. Lina Z.

I cannot stress how grateful I am to have my 5 year old daughter Isabella enrolled in TLE in Basking Ridge, NJ. She has been in TLE for a little over a year and in that time she has gained so much knowledge and developed so many amazing skills. She loves to be able to read and write and I have been told by other parents how impressed they are with her penmanship! In the beginning it was a little difficult for her to adjust however over maybe a week or less she was more comfortable and started to socialize more with the other kids. She LOVES going to school now and being with her friends. The staff and teachers are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and caring of all their students. I give them so much credit for all the hard work they put into helping better each and every child they interact with. TLE does a great job in keeping the parents involved too. For most holidays and/ or random days they will put together little events such as ice cream socials, Easter egg hunts, Christmas shows, etc. I love the school myself and I highly recommend TLE for any parent considering placing their child in daycare/ school.

We're so thankful to have found The Learning Experience at Basking Ridge. Anthony and the staff are some of the most caring and attentive professionals we've encountered, and it's clear they are committed to all of the children in their care. They take the time to work with each and every child - and parent - to ensure they are providing the best possible care every day. They treat every child as though they're part of their own family, and it truly shows. We're so happy to be a part of the Basking Ridge LTE family!
