Curriculum that develops the whole child

Our L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) Curriculum uses fun, hands-on activities throughout early education to help children develop intellectually, socially and cognitively. Or as we say, to learn, play and grow.

Characters that bring learning to life

Children love learning from characters—and studies show that it’s highly effective especially in preschool and early education. TLE® has a cast of unique, beloved characters, each one teaching children a new value or activity.

I couldnt be happier with the experience, quality, & level of care my son has received at the Learning Experience school (Downingtown location) He has some areas of difficulty that have been problems elsewhere. His teachers Ms. Desi & Mr. Nikolai are amazing with him, spend the extra time with him to help keep him/get him back on track etc. Worknwith him daily to keep his education/learning top tier. Since day one there, Ms. Donyetta has gone out of her way to make him/us feel welcomed, comfortable, all around like your child is going to school with a family member! Could not ask for a better place/school, but most importantly better quality people!

Searching for a daycare for our first baby was very difficult and stressful, but when we were introduced to The Learning Experience we immediately knew this was the place for us. When we met Miss. Donyetta, we felt instantly at ease - her confidence and fun personality made us feel at home and apart of the family. Our daughter has been there for a few months now and we still see the hard work her and her team continue to do on a daily basis. Our daughter loves her teachers and looks forward to going to daycare everyday!

The Learning Experience Downingtown is a great place for kids to learn and grow. The staff truly cares about the kids and they made us feel like family. The center's cleanliness is second to none! Before we went to the Learning Experience we went to different daycares in the area so it truly made me appreciate how new the toys, books, playground equipment are. Everything is so clean! I also enjoyed their app so I could see pictures of my child during the day. Their curriculum is fantastic and I'm always impressed at what they are learning. The kids also get to do a lot of fun activities and there is ample play time. TLE's management goes above and beyond and we are so thankful our child got to attend preschool at such a wonderful place!
