My son has been at The Learning Experience for 18 months and I have been grateful for every second. The staff has not only been caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated, but they have also been priceless in giving me activities and other strategies that helped me incorporate what they were working on into our home environment. They helped me discontinue the bottle, potty train, and gave me tips on how to get my child to use eating/drinking utensils functionally. My child is extremely intelligent but has some sensory and behavioral issues that make transitioning and focusing on less preferred activities hard, and they have worked with us every step of the way to ensure that these issues did not hinder his ability to absorb the information being taught and/or retain that information. They found a way to keep the school part of their program engaging, which is huge for a child like mine. Every single faculty member at the Boca Raton location has gone above and beyond to make my child and myself feel secure and loved. The gratitude I have for them is endless. Thank you!

I have two little girls that go to TLE, and they mean the world to us. Starting daycare for the first time was very scary specially in a pandemic, but we feel very safe with our kids there. Within three weeks of one of my kids being there she started speaking in full sentences, having amazing letter recognition, coming home happy singing songs. (She use to say a couple words at a time) It has been a great experience for us and puts me at ease knowing they are happy to go. TLE has met and exceeded all of our expectations.

When I first started working at TLE, I was completely amazed with all of the educational programs available for the students such as foreign language, Yoga, sign language, etc. The curriculum being taught within the classrooms, is also geared towards each students age group and is set up so that every child is successful. I would recommend TLE to any parent, that wants to make sure their child is going to receive a proper education in a loving environment.

Each day my son comes home with new words and vocabulary, he has learned so much! As a working mom it helps relieve some of the "guilt" when I am dropping him off and the teachers are excited to see him and give him big hugs to start his day. He asks for Bubbles in the morning when he wakes up which must mean he loves school and his friends.
