We have been part of the TLE family for about a year and it's been amazing! Our son needed a positive change from his past daycare experiences and we have enjoyed every moment here at at TLE. The teachers are so amazing, the staff is always available, the school is always clean! My son has never once complained about his teachers or the school. He loves coming here every day and I'm so happy about that! We will truly miss everyone after the Summer. Kindergarten here we come!

Words cannot describe how happy we are knowing our boys will be under TLE's love and care until they enter 1st grade. As parents we all make many decisions every day, but hands down the BEST decision we've ever made was becoming part of the TLE family. You have always supported us unconditionally, and in return we always have and always will support you all unconditionally. Please know we know you all move mountains every day, and in a world full of unique challenges it's so comforting knowing we have such an amazing educational facility helping to mold our young children's minds. I could on and on, but sometimes a simple THANK YOU is the best 🙂. On behalf of our family, THANK YOU for everything! Sincerely Cory, Kiera, Cory Jr., and Baby Caden ________________________________________

My son loves TLE. He loves his teachers and he loves being there. Every morning when he wakes up the first thing he says is “mommy I want to go to school!” When we have breaks he wants to go back and cannot wait! TLE and all of the staff are the best! Special shout outs to Ms. Brenda, Ms. Kiernan, Mr. Mark, and Mr. Tony because my son talks about them non stop!

TLE has been one of the best additions to our family! Mrs. Eckfield and her team of educators are some of the kindest, most passionate individuals that we have ever met! Their energy and passion for education is simply outstanding! Our son has several life-threatening food allergies, and the care this team provides for him is unparalleled. Not only do his teachers try to find allergy friendly foods for him outside of work, they go above and beyond to make sure he can participate in all daily activities with his peers. For example, the kids in the class were having Chex-Mix for snack, and the TLE team blended some of our son's snacks to make it look like he was having Chex-Mix too. Although I didn't outwardly cry, I had the biggest smile inside knowing what our son's teachers did for him! The word LOVE does not do this educational center any justice. Mrs. Eckfield and her team have created a center of excellence, and I strongly implore you to visit their site if you have any childcare needs. It's one of the best decisions we've made for our child!

So they saying “it starts at the top,” this is the most accurate statement that can be used when describing TLE. Jen Eckfield is the owner of The Learning Experience in Doylestown, and she sets the bar high….Every. Single. Day. Philip (my 4yr old) started TLE when he was 6 months. I was lucky and blessed enough to be finishing with one company at the end of my maternity leave and had a 3-month hiatus before starting with a new company. I hit the jackpot… I got to be a “working mom” who got 6 months at home with her newborn. Like every other mom, the fact that I knew I was going to have to put my son - my perfect little human being who was connected to my hip (and boob) every second of the day – in daycare… absolutely killed me. But, I had to do it. My husband and I had made the decision to live in Doylestown and save what we can and provide a beautiful life for our children… and that costs money…so, I work. I had been to other places that frankly scared the hell out of me. And my friend had just started her son at TLE and she told me to just go there and talk to Jen… and so fearfully and with a very heavy heart, and a HUGE brick wall up, I did. And to this day, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was just touring and I cried. Jen said for me to leave Philip in the baby room while she showed me everything. I was scared and hesitant, but I did it. And one of the teachers in there, GG – grabbed my baby and just instantly started loving on him. And she said that day, “these are all my babies.” And I believed in her beautiful smile and genuine heart, and that gave me some peace. Philip started a few weeks later and we “transitioned” him to the environment (and me). A few hours longer each day. A very hard time for me was when I picked Philip up one day and my sister in law was over and she said “he smells like someone else” … I instantly started crying and telling my husband my baby shouldn’t smell like anyone else, and that means I wasn’t there to hug him and love on him if he needed it. But then a moment of clarity came into my post-partum brain… if he smells like someone else… that means they are hugging and loving on him. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING. This means they are caring for my child. This is what working moms NEED to know. So then I decided to 1) breath and 2) appreciate that this place and these people loved my baby. Sometimes the way we look at things makes a big different in our lives. I could talk for hours, days, weeks about TLE… I could say how my boys, yes… now I have 2… are so smart, and stimulated never want to leave when I pick them up…seriously. Our second son started at 10 weeks with Ms. Debbie (who I believe is an angel sent from GOD) and my GG (I call her mine, because she also held me when I cried and when I felt like I was missing things. She’s a mom too… she gets it). Both my boys have been in Ms. Cindy’s class – and she has literally become a part of our family. And then there are the teachers and aids there that haven’t even had my children in their class, but the know us, and love my kids and are involved. TLE is a daycare/school. Yes, it is a franchise. But it stands on its own…because it has Jen. Jen gets it. She hires the right people, she watches, she reacts, she listens. She’s a badass at giving to her community. She’s is a wife; a daughter; an incredible mother to her son Jack. She’s the full package. She is TLE – and that is why we love it there. It’s a simple as that.

The teachers are AMAZING! They all love my children like they are their own. They teach the whole child and truly have become a part of our family!!! I wouldn't have my children at any other center!!

I absolutely love TLE Doylestown! I cannot imagine my girls anywhere else because this is way more than a school or a daycare center. TLE, Doylestown is truly an extended family. The owner, directors, and staff are exceptional. I am a teacher, so I value education and learning "the academics", but what is more valuable in today's world is learning how to become a person full of love, compassion, empathy, cooperation, responsibility, forgiveness, and the essential values of life. This is the priceless education my girls get each and every day coupled with the fantastic curriculum. I will never be able to express my gratitude to the TLE family enough. My kids deserve the BEST and that is just what we have---- the BEST!!!! Thank you, TLE Doylestown!!!

The Learning Experience is a wonderful place to send your children. I send my special needs son there so he can be with the other children and interact in a setting outside of the home and they are so accommodating and friendly there and he has shown so much improvement since sending him there in February. They are very flexible and have never had a problem with having his EI therapists come and work with him in the classroom. They send me pictures of him having a good time and I really feel comfortable with the owner, director, and all of the staff!

Jen, the owner and her staff have the utmost care for their children there. I trust my child to go there whole-heartedly and know that they always have his best interest in mind. Great loving school. Highly recommended. I know its difficult to trust people with your children but this is the place for a great education with loving care!

Our son has attended TLE in Doylestown for almost two years and we couldn't be more pleased. Not only is the staff accommodating & nurturing; they truly care about the parents, children and each other. The owner, Jennifer Eckfield, has created a family environment. You know that when you drop your child/children off, that they truly care about each one and that the TLE team will take care of them and help develop them into thriving little people.

In January 2016 we were desperate to find a new child care facility for our son, as we were in fear for his safety where he was. The moment I called The Learning Experience they made us feel like part of their family! Both the Director and Owner assured us that they would make room for our son immediately due to the situation we were in, they assured me that he would have the best care. Those were all words of course and at that point it was difficult to trust however I can say now...they have stood by every one of them and we are extremely grateful for all their patience and love! We would highly recommend TLE and are honored to be a part of their family!

Can't say enough! TLE Doylestown is hands down the best! We moved our wee one from another provider to this location. She is learning, and finally happy, she looks forward to going which was a huge change. The staff conduct themselves professionally and honestly care about the kids. Check your email, they will keep you in the loop and you will always know what is happening! TLE Doylestown provide extra fun activities for the whole family like Lolly and Jo Jo! This will be our last school year which makes me very sad. I hope they will allow her to come back to summer camp every year as their summer camp program is top notch! Thanks TLE Doylestown! You are the best!!

My three children have been in childcare programs since infancy and two programs prior to finding a home at TLE Doylestown. While I have been blessed with competent care throughout my kids development, I have to say TLE Doylestown is truly a special place for families. The owner, Jen Eckfield, does not just aim to create a safe, loving and developmentally engaging program for children, she creates a sense of community - really an extended family - of the directors, teachers and other parents.

The Learning Experience has been such a blessing to our family. We transferred here from another school because we were looking for a full time kindergarten program for my oldest son. I was nervous about making the switch, but it was the best decision we have ever made. I didn't know what a school could really be like until we were at TLE. The entire staff is absolutely wonderful, caring, and nurturing. This has become the home away from home for my boys, and we feel like part of a family. They have an incredible educational program! I recommend TLE to all my friends, family and neighbors. Thanks to Jen Eckfield and her entire staff for embracing our family!

TLE at Doylestown is beyond awesome! We started both our kids at TLE when it opened 3 years ago. We were the 3rd or 4th family with them. We couldn't have asked for a better place for caring of our kids than TLE. The staff and teachers are absolutely wonderful and we feel so much like a family. My son recently graduated their full-time Kindergarten and he made some great friends there. The foundation that the teachers created for him has made him what he is today today both academically and socially. There have been days when the kids don't want to come home because they enjoy it so much there. Jennifer, the owner makes everyone feel like her family and we can always trust her and the staff with our kids. We Love TLE!

Love TLE! We have been there 6 months and have enjoyed taking our daughter there every day. She loves her teachers- who are so nice and attentive. They have already taught our child so much. The front desk is very friendly and the owner is very involved. I'm always amazed how they remember everyone's name. My wife and I feel very comfortable leaving our daughter in their hands each day. TLE is a very friendly and safe atmosphere, we highly recommend.

I wanted to take a minute and let you know how excited I am about the twaddler room. I was very nervous about Logan moving up and transitioning, mostly because he has become very attached to Cindy over the past year and I wasn't sure how he'd do in a new environment. Tee, Roz and Melissa are awesome. They have made the new room a great experience. Every morning he runs right to the purple door, goes in and starts playing without any hesitation. I'm not there during the day but I can only believe that it is the great job they are doing that makes him so comfortable. I've sat in the room for a few minutes on several occasions and it amazes me how well structured they have the classroom with all those little ones. They definitely exert patience, love and guidance to the kids. We are excited about the new year and thrilled to have Tee back at TLE.

We couldn't be more grateful to all of you for all the love and patience you showed our little man. He has truly become an entirely different kid in the time he's spent with you, and that is all thanks to you. When I look back and think of the daycares that couldn't be bothered, I can't believe we were so blessed to find you. We were told he was violent, and you said he was overstimulated. We were told he refused to follow directions, and you said he struggled to sit for long periods. We were told he was a bad kid, and you said he was a wonderful kid with a big heart. There is no way to express what it means to us to have had you in our lives. I could not imagine a world where he could have been successful and loved, and now I believe he has a big bright future in front of him. We are so excited to start this new chapter of our lives, but my heart is breaking to say goodbye to this family. Thank you for your time, your patience, your love, and the immeasurable kindness you showed my whole family. We could never repay you. We love you guys, Gavin and Marissa

Our son has attended The Learning Experience for about 8 months after moving from another school where we had a bad experience. This place has been night and day compared to his previous school--we all absolutely love this school. Our son has high functioning autism primarily related to issues with socialization, and from day one at this school the teachers and staff made him feel welcome and helped him make friends. The kids in his class go out of their way to help our son because the staff and teachers create a very positive environment. He's really grown by leaps and bounds at TLE as where we felt his development had basically stalled out at his previous school. Also, the TLE owner Jennifer Eckfield is absolutely fantastic, and while staff turnover at any preschool is going to be high, she makes sure that she hires quality people and holds them to a high standard for performance. The school also does tons of great activities like free concerts for kids in the summer, vendor tradeshows, and lots of things to help build a sense of community beyond what happens in the classroom. Our son (as well as my wife and I) really love his current teacher Miss Sam, she really tries her hardest to make every day a great experience for our son and all the other kids in his class. We really love it at TLE!

Words really cannot do justice to how important TLE is to our family. Our 6 year old daughter is in after school care as is one of our 4 year old twin sons. Our other twin son attends full time. The teachers and directors are AMAZING. All our kids love going and believe me, we would know if they didn't! 2 of our little ones have ASD and the team has been so accommodating and genuinely supportive. It's takes a huge weight off my heart to have the kids in such a loving, healthy environment.

We started going to TLE last summer. Their staff is awesome. Every single teacher that I met is very caring and compassionate. They are all about education, teach sign language, Spanish and manners :) how cute is that?! If there was ever any issue Jen (the super sweet owner) had 3 words for me "we got it" and they really did! I'm getting daily reports and updates from them about new things my son learns each day. It feels like I'm leaving him with my family every morning, that's how great they are. They are so much better and way advanced than the old daycare we went to. I can't speak highly enough of them. I see them cleaning and disinfecting every evening, which explains why the building is always sparkling clean. My son loves seeing his teachers and friends everyday and I could'n be any happier for him. I highly recommend them, really!

This is a fantastic place. The staff are great. I highly recommend. We moved to the Doylestown area recently and had to switch daycare facilities for our 11-month-old little girl. It has turned out wonderfully this regard. We are very pleased thus far. It's a great environment.

I was blessed with a very long maternity leave of close to 5 months, which made it even harder to leave my son at daycare my first day back at work. I had just gotten used to my own routine as a first time mom and was really just learning what my son's needs and schedule were myself! Having Johanna as my son's primary teacher feels like having a personal nanny! TLE has accommodated my use of cloth diapers and wipes, follows my son's very frequent eating schedule, and welcomes me warmly when I come in to nurse him each day. I truly feel as though all of the staff and teachers are working with me to make sure my son is loved, happy, and secure while he is away from me.

My daughter had a nanny and when she moved away we decided to enroll her at TLE in Doylestown. It has been a wonderful and she is excited to go to school every day! Her teacher really cares and my daughter adores her. The entire staff are so compassionate and they communicative. For example, I am a working mom and have had to travel quite a bit lately. When I dropped my daughter off I was very emotional because I wouldn't see her for a few days. The owner saw me and really empathized. She sent me pictures of my daughter playing and laughing and that really cheered me up while I was traveling! I would recommend TLE to any parent!

Being new to the whole Childcare world, I was very scared about leaving my children there, let alone my baby who cannot talk to express himself just yet. As time goes on, and he blows my kisses "buh bye" I know I made the right choice by picking TLE of Doylestown!! The owner , and teachers are amazing and they treat your children like your own! Within the first week, my son was doing "more" in sign language!!

Eric & Owen

Being educators, we realize the importance for a solid foundation of academic and social skills, while at the same time providing fun and engaging activities for our boys in a safe environment. The TLE family provides all of this on a daily basis. We are beyond impressed with the learning and enjoyment our boys experience every day as a result of the dedication and hard work of the staff. Thank you for all you do.

My son has been coming to The Learning Experience for almost 6 months now and we love it! It is a bit delayed but has shown so much improvement since attending here. His teacher Miss Sam has been amazing with him and is always so welcoming and accommodating not only to his needs, but to us as parents as well! The owner and director also have been wonderful. Keep up the excellent work!

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the work you guys put into your facility and caring for my needs as a parent, as crazy as it can be sometimes :) you guys are so quick to address any issues, and never confuse me when it comes to payments- tuition- updates- etc... You guys are so on it, it's impressive. Sometimes I catch myself not worrying at all about Isabella because I know the girls know her schedule and personality like the back their hand, and I have no fears! She lovessss her teachers, its heart warming. Craig and I discussed moving in the future and I honestly 100% told him we can only relocate as long as Isabella continues in The learning Experience anywhere else. Just wanted to remind you guys of how awesome you are and how much you are appreciated in our household. I put in a good word for you guys any time I talk about my daycare. WE LOVE YOU GUYS.

Upon visiting the Infant B room, I knew that TLE Doylestown was the ideal "home away from home" for my one year old daughter, Keira. The immaculate classroom is filled with color, crafts, and a diverse and stimulating selection of books, toys, and age-appropriate activites. Keira is smiling and excited when we greet her teachers at drop-off and equally so at pick-up, as she is being cuddled while giggling or marching around the room very busy at play. I receive a detailed report of her day, during which she often plays outside and ventures to "make believe boulevard" for puppet shows and imaginative play. Watching Keira grow in the care of Miss Jenna and Miss Ally, and having warm and open communication with Jennifer and Mindi has made our TLE experience absolutely wonderful. I cannot recommend this center highly enough. It has surpassed all of my (very high) expectations.

“Being a first time mom finding a day care was very stressful. To top things off the first place I went to was not a good experience. Then I meet Jen Eckfield and her team at TLE in Doylestown. What an amazing group! Between the wonderful communication that Mindi supplies weekly to the friendly smiles and love of the teachers, this girl felt at home. We consider them our extended family and family they are. I feel comfortable going right to Jen and talking about everything! The staff at TLE are warm and caring in so many ways that I can’t list them out but just ask me if you need to know!”

As I feverishly toured five different daycare centers/pre-schools after my nanny quit the first day (realizing immediately that I needed to rely on a team, not just one caregiver), entering TLE Doylestown was like walking down Main Street in Disney World: Bright colors, sparkling floors and a big elephant mascot name Bubbles to greet the kids. My oldest was intrigued by the smart board (to him it was a giant iPad) and my youngest was greeted with warm arms that would soon rock him to sleep countless times each day. The curriculum impressed me (isn't every parent worried their kid will already be behind on the first day of Kindergarten?) and the owner, director and teachers have become part of the village that helps raise my children. At the end of the day I know they are with good people who care about them and support my parenting style and that is priceless.
