Colorado Springs - Banning Lewis Ranch Preschool & Daycare

Avery R.

I am a brand new parent at TLE and our daughter Avery is in the preschool 1-B class with Ms. Angie and Ms. Kimmie. I know I'm brand new, and my experience with the staff here is super limited, but even from my brief interactions/experience so far I can tell the staff here genuinely care about the kids. Everyone I've spoken with has been so warm and genuine, and seeing my daughter snuggle up with Ms. Angie on literally day 3 of going there warms my mama heart more than words can say. Avery came from a daycare/preschool environment where the teacher just seemed like she should have retired YEARS ago, sad to say. She seemed just checked out emotionally and my daughter really never warmed up to her. Ms. Angie, on the other hand, seems to really enjoy being around kids and it doesn't seem fake. I know it can be hard some days but I have to say that the care is what shines through, and what stands out to parents. I have never felt more happy/relieved/secure knowing my daughter is going somewhere where she is seen and cared for. As a working mama it's hard not to be with my girl but knowing she's going somewhere like TLE with people like Ms. Angie, Ms. Kimmie, Ms. Beth, and Ms. Elisabeth really, REALLY makes my mama heart feel better. I also love the characters (I think I know all of them even more so than my own daughter... I don't know what that says about me! ?) and the educational curriculum designed for the kids. It's so cool to get the pictures of everything she's doing in the day and I LIVE for those daily photos/updates. It's so much better than the maybe once a month photos I would get from her old school. I also love the meals designed with whole grains/fresh foods and introducing different veggies. My girl struggles with picky eating but I'm grateful she's getting at least some exposure to new foods there at TLE. I don't know, I think we had to walk through the rough situation at her old school to really see what a preschool with caring people looks like, and I truly believe we found it. ?? Thank you so much from the bottom of my mama heart, for everything you all do everyday for our babies! I appreciate you all!

Our family has had a wonderful experience with The Learning Experience at Banning Lewis Ranch. From the very beginning, we felt confident in the level of communication and safety provided—not only did we feel comfortable, but our kids did too. The drop-off and pick-up process is smooth and well-organized, which makes busy mornings and afternoons stress-free. The staff is absolutely wonderful—caring, professional, and attentive to every child. We’ve also been impressed with the healthy and balanced meals and snacks offered each day, as well as the outdoor time our children enjoy. Most importantly, our kids genuinely look forward to going each day. Knowing they are happy, safe, learning, and growing in such a supportive environment has meant so much to us. We highly recommend The Learning Experience at Banning Lewis Ranch to any family looking for a place where their children will thrive!

Miss Dionne and Miss Veronica are wonderful and attentive. They spend one on one time with my child and are giving him the tools he needs to become successful in his future in education and social interactions. We are truly lucky to have these two in our child's life

Elizabeth The Director is the most attentive, polite, respectful, knowledgeable director I have ever met.. I am very, very familiar with many preschools in Colorado and in California. The learning experience banning Lewis Ranch location School is the best in all aspects. Customer service is everything and the way the school has made my family feel is exceptional. Especially the care they give Luna is the best she’s only 3. She loves all staff there. She has build a family and rapport with everyone all staff. She also adores Beth she is the front she is the first person you see when you walk in. She is super attentive and helpful and answers all your questions. She’s really good with the children as well. My grandbabies teachers are also exceptional, Miss Oka. She’s a very hard worker and they made the transition easy for Luna from Ms. Maria to Ms. Oaka classroom. She makes her classroom fun, but also has rules and I see that the kids respect her very much. Luna loves the school very very much. They also have a brand new teacher with a Ms. Oka. I forgot her name blonde hair but she’s very patient and Sweet as well. The assistant, directorCindy has always been respectful answers all questions and is very attentive as well. I work in case management, social work, therapy, and by far I’ve seen many schools and by far this one is #1 in the Springs. The classrooms are always clean everybody’s literally just friendly and the kids are always happy to go to school. I am very happy my grandbaby Luna is attending this school and soon my other grandbaby Stella will be attending. The curriculum and the things they learn at the school I have never seen in any school. It is not just a daycare they actually teach them so many things life skills, art and social skills. My grandbaby is almost potty trained and loves to trace her name. The main thing is she is safe and we trust this school.Luna is always clean, her diapers are always changed. She will be potty trained very soon I can tell. I noticed her speech has improved tremendous. She has so many friends. I have not one complaint about this school as a whole. Also, the food is really good. Luna loves breakfast lunch, snack, snacks. Thank you also to the person who prepares the food. They also had a big event for grandparents day that just warmed my heart when I seen all the grandparents there, it was such a fun event. Once again, thank you so much for keeping Luna safe, making her happy every day and I can’t wait till Stella starts. Veronica Sabrina ? Grandmother.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this location. My daughter has never spent time away from me, and I was hesitant about sending her to prek already. I did tons of school interviews as I wanted her to go and learn, not just play and be “another kid” at a prek. I stumbled across TLE, and was shocked at the education and developmental programs they offer for kids, especially at such a young age. They welcomed my daughter with open arms and made me feel safe and comfortable about her being there. She loves going to school, and tells me how awesome her day was every single day. The things she’s learning are astounding. Her teachers, Miss Kimmiee and Miss Angie (I’m spelling it wrong, I know, but her name is pronounced Miss Angie! I’m sorry!), are beyond wonderful. They treat her like she’s their own, and are helping teach her life long lessons. And let’s not forget about Miss Beth! She’s beyond amazing as well, and is a huge asset for TLE!

TLE @ BLR is incredible! Miss Shannon is the most welcoming every morning. She gets to visit all the classrooms and knows the children personally!

We absolutely love The Learning Experience! After trying two other childcare centers in the area, TLE is hands down the best. The curriculum is exceptional, our 4-year-old has developed a strong foundation in reading, writing, and math. The teachers truly care about their students and it shows every day. Mrs. Dionne and Ms. Veronica are incredibly patient and nurturing. Ms. Beth is an outstanding educator who goes above and beyond not only supporting both parents and teachers, but also creating a warm, welcoming environment that feels like family. I’ll always be grateful that she invited my older son to read to the Pre-K class; it really helped boost his confidence in reading aloud. We also adore Ms. Shannon! She doesn’t just prepare healthy and delicious meals, she takes the time to connect with the kids, and they absolutely love her. My son even says, “Ms. Shannon is the best cooker!?

We absolutely love this school! Ms. Shannon, Ms. Dionne, Ms. Veronica, and Ms. Misty are all truly incredible. They’ve made such a positive impact on our kids, and it’s clear how much they love being there each day. Their care, kindness, and dedication shine through, and we are so grateful for the way they support and encourage them. We can’t say enough good things about this amazing team, they make the school such a wonderful place!

Our kids LOVE all of their teachers and the staff at TLE! Everyone goes out of their way to take care of our kiddos from Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Beth, and Ms. Cindy up front to Ms. Shannon who prepares their meals, and all of the teachers who take care of our girls. Thank you, Ms. Kimmie, Ms. Angie, Ms. Mariya, Ms. Dionne, Ms. Veronica, and Ms. Theresa!

I have been with the learning experience for almost 3 years now and I have nothing but great things to say. My oldest daughter has been there since she was 3 months old. All of the infant girls showed her so much love. I had my second daughter and put her in as well and again the infant girls were phenomenal. I also want to give a huge thank you to the Toddler B girls Ms.Stephanie and Ms. Deanna for taking care of my sassy little girl, and correcting her when she needed to be corrected as well as teaching her so much with the time that she has been there from coming back from maturity leave from having her sister she has shown a lot of progress. Those ladies are amazing and I would definitely recommend! Thank you for loving on my girls all infant girls and toddler ladies!

We started our baby here about a month ago and while we were hesitant at first since she was only 6 months old, we have been beyond impressed with how she has thrived with all the other babies and the caregivers in Infant A and B. It’s clear the teachers care about the babies! Special shoutout to teacher Jazmyne who always has an amazing, calming demeanor with the babies and parents; she’s communicative every day regarding how our baby’s day went and we can tell she really cares about our daughter’s happiness and well-being. Thanks TLE!

We are so happy we made the decision to enroll our daughters at TLE. Our older daughter has been here for two years and our younger daughter has been here for 1 year. Both of them have loved their teachers and look forward to being dropped off at school every day. They always enjoy sharing what they did that day and showing us their artwork. Thank you TLE BLR, we appreciate all you do!

Miss Cali and Miss Milo were so good with my kiddos! It was a pleasant change to the place we came from. They will keep you in the loop to discuss challenges and work with you to address challenges. They both got close to my kids this summer and I would highly recommend this daycare and especially Miss Cali and Miss Milo! I felt they learned a ton of curriculum, there wasn’t that stinky smell some daycares have and everyone was kind from the front staff to the back end!

As a first time mom, I was initially scared to put my baby to daycare because of other peoples bad experiences that I saw online. Some stay-at-home mothers out there (I personally know one for a fact) judges other moms just because they put their kids to daycare. Well, I am very proud to tell the world that my baby goes to an amazing daycare! We are grateful to be part of TLE and if not because of my baby’s teachers, he wouldn’t be as bright, bubbly & sociable as he is now. Many thanks to his infant teachers who set the tone of how great TLE BLR is. Shoutout to teacher Lizel & teacher Jasmine for making our infant days warm & memorable. Also, to his past teachers who have already left, and the new teachers such as Vivian & the older lady (sorry forgot her name). It was hard for me & my husband at first to transition our baby to pre-tod, but that changed when we met his amazing teachers Dani, KC, and Renee. I am very proud because I can clearly see the improvements on him. And it’s something that I won’t be able to do by myself. Teacher Dani, we always enjoy talking to you whenever we pick up our baby. Your presence makes the room brighter & thank you for getting our baby to read!! That was such a huge win for us ?? So, if you are thinking whether you should put your baby to TLE BLR or not, may this review be a sign that you should! :)

Run, don't walk, if you're looking for a daycare in Colorado Springs! This daycare is run by the most amazing owners, a husband-and-wife team. Before we moved to the area, Lassandra (one of the owners) took amazing care of us and answered all of our questions to get our youngest son into the school upon our summer arrival. The staff, from Director Ms. Elsbeth and her front office team Ms. Cindy and Ms. Beth (our sons' former teacher), have become a big memory and part of our family. We attended the school for two years, and they have set the bar HIGH when searching for other daycares as a military family that moves around every two years or so. The daily communication about your child's learning, the photos, the events held... the teachers love the kids like their own... the list goes on and on. You will love everything about this daycare, and your child will learn so much. Thank you, team, for everything you've done for my family during our two-year stint in CoSp. We miss you guys and wish there was a TLE in Alabama! <3

The staff and the experience of leaving my littles with this bunch has been nothing short of amazing. If you’re looking for a super clean and professional place to entrust your children with, look no further.

My son has gone here for 3 years and we have loved every minute of it. He has learned, played, and had the most fun. I highly recommend TLE for your kiddos. You will have peace of mind knowing your children are in a safe, fun place

Both my boys have attended TLE- BLR since they were 3 month. They are now 4 and 2. It is important that my boys not only have a fun and nurturing day but are also in a learning environment. TLE definitely provides that. While I would love to name all the teachers and staff that have made an impact on my family, there are too many to list. We are moving out of state and will be sad to leave TLE-BLR. I appreciate all of you wonderful, patient and caring woman who have loved my boys for all these years. ?

Our daughter has been at TLE Banning Lewis for almost 3 years and we have been so happy with them! There are amazing teachers there who care for our daughter like their own! We especially love Ms. Annegie, Ms. Kimmie and the amazing chef Ms. Shannon. Would definitely recommend this daycare for your children!

My son has been going to TLE- BLR for over 3 years now and im very sad that we now have to part ways as he will be headed to kindergarten. In the beginning my son had just been moved from another place and was struggling wanting to be at school. He would cry every morning but the staff worked with him and us to get him settled and to feel safe! Once he got into Beth and Angie's class he never wanted to leave! They truly cared for my son and made him love being at school. Then his next teacher Ms. Janessa did the same! They all truly cared for my son like he was their own. He loves being there and it will be very hard to leave! He has learned so much and grown so much by being there! He is already starting to read and is already writing all his letters. I love how they have the different studs and after they finish they get to bring home things that they learned about. The other thing that I was very pleased with is how clean the building and all the classroom are! If your looking for a place for your child to attend this is it!!! Another plus they are amazing with military and work with childcare aware subsidy program!

TLE is an fantastic daycare! Our child is always so excited when we show up in the morning. The staff is friendly and always willing to help if you have a question. The facility is always clean, and very secure. the app is great for keeping track of your kids activities. Big shout out to Lizel, Vivian, and Jasmyne for always taking care of our little one and bringing smiles to his face.

Ms. Oka, Ms. Kenzie, Ms. Janessa and Ms. Angie take such good care of both of my daughters. Ms. Elisabeth and all the admin staff really try to make sure parents are informed. Very grateful to the teachers and the staff taking care of my kids. My kids also talk about certain foods they eat at school so that is great as well for my picky eaters. Overall I am so glad we enrolled my girls in TLE.

Katie WENDLAND

I absolutely love this place! I had a terrible experience at her last daycare . Once I moved her here to The Learning Center, I have never been happier. The Staff is attentive, caring and patient. My daughter is happier when she comes home, and is learning so much.

Miriam REZNIK

My husband and I are so grateful to all the staff at TLE Banning Lewis Ranch for the quality of care provided to our son Ronan. Since he has started with TLE a few months ago our sons vocabulary has improved tremendously. He comes home happy every day and is clearly comfortable with his teachers and friends. I appreciate the transparency and awesome communication between the staff and our family. I am at peace when I drop my son off every day. Thank you everyone at TLE! -The Rush Family

We love TLE! My daughter is very shy and clingy to me and she has done great here. She enjoys going to school each day. I can really tell the owners and teachers enjoy being with the kiddos.
