I spent a lot of time touring centers before I chose TLE Bolingbrook. Not only was it the most affordable day care I toured, but it has an outstanding team, curriculum and facility. My son not only thrived at TLE Bolingbrook, but I always knew he would be safe and well taken care of. He started in the infant room, then moved to the Toddler room. He would always surprise us with a new word or skill when he came home. He had so much fun at TLE Bolingbrook that he would jump into the staff's arms at drop off. There is no better peace of mind as a parent than knowing your child is safe, having fun and learning. We recently moved away, but I hope to find a center as fantastic as TLE Bolingbrook in our new town.

I enrolled my 2 boys at the beginning of January and I have seen such great improvement in their interest to learn. The teachers here are just overall AWESOME! They were recognizing new words, speaking more and knowing certain words in sign language. I was so excited to get them to attend and my feelings have not changed yet! Overall the center is great with great management, awesome teachers and the school is so colorful. They have different characters that have different learning objectives for the curriculum which makes learning so much more fun for the kids. My boys love coming to school in the morning and it's so hard to get them to leave. TLE Bolingbrook has really been the best choice for our family.

I love The Learning Experience in Bolingbrook! All of the staff is involved and clearly loves what they do. My son never wants to leave! He's only been going there for preschool for about 3 1/2 months and he's learned so much already. The facility is clean and safe. The teachers are very interactive, and the students all look engaged and happy to be there. It took me a while to decide when and where to start my son for preschool, and I'm more than happy I decided on TLE Bolingbrook!!Na
