We could not recommend TLE in Ledgewood more! My son has been there since August and has truly flourished while there. As a pre-k teacher myself, it was extremely difficult for me to choose a new daycare center for my son when he was ready to move on from his in-home daycare. We could not be happier with our choice! He absolutely LOVES going to school to see his teachers and his friends and he runs in with a smile on his face daily :) He is constantly talking about his teachers (Miss Toni & Miss Madelyne - who we LOVE) - he even looks for them on weekends! I love the slow transition to new rooms and the communication is wonderful between the Show N Tell app and his teachers talking with us at drop off and pick up. The different events that they offer throughout the year are so nice as well (trunk or treat, holiday events, etc.) ! Our son is always greeted with a smile when he walks in the door. If you are looking to enroll your child here, don't hesitate :)

I just have to say what an amazing experience my family has had at The Learning Experience in Ledgewood. We have 3 boys and each have attended TLE since they were babies. This year marks our 3rd sons final year and we are actually sad that we will be finished soon. The teachers and staff at the center are amazing and you can really tell how much they truly care about the children. It starts with Karrah the manager of the center who spreads her positive attitude to the entire staff. They have managed this changing world in a professional and child driven way. I couldn’t imagine having my kids youngest years be spent somewhere else. Our family is very grateful to the TLE family and hopefully yours will be too.

We saw a timid toddler to a jolly toddler eager to go to school every day. Putting us to sleep at nights, q is for quiet etc!! Having calls with the teachers or the director who are never too busy to discuss Siya’s progress. We have so much confidence in the TLE family that our 1 month old was registered since she was a week old. On behalf of the Dayaram Family we thank you from the bottom of our 💕. It’s a pleasure to be part of the TLE family.

We have been at TLE Ledgewood for over 6 years now. Our first daughter started when she was just 5 months old and now our younger daughter attends. Both girls have loved the school and so have we! We have always felt so comfortable at TLE, knowing our girls would be safe, loved, and learning new things everyday! When my older daughter left TLE to begin public kindergarten, she was and still continues to be in the highest reading group in her grade. We have always been so happy with our decision to attend TLE. Mr. Peter, our business director, always has a smile and is super friendly and helpful. The children love all the teachers and you can tell how much the teachers care for them. We want to thank everyone at TLE Ledgewood for so many great years!

Our daughter Emily started at TLE Ledgewood when she was 6 months old and just graduated preschool in June of 2016. From day 1 we felt a connection and were happy with the staff and curriculum. We watched our daughter grow into a beautiful little girl with the help and patience of the TLE staff. Our daughter loved every teacher and staff member and I believe that due to the dedication of the staff, Emily has made an amazing transition to Kindergarten. When I was diagnosed with cancer, the staff made sure that Emily always got some extra TLC and for that I will always be grateful. We look forward to working with TLE Ledgewood in the future with our second daughter.

We have been extremely pleased with the overall experience of TLE, Ledgewood. Our daughter started going to daycare at 14 weeks old and very quickly acclimated to her new surroundings. Now, a year later, she is always excited to get in the car in the morning and even more so when the car stops in the parking lot. To me, this speaks volumes on the care she receives and how awesome all of the employees truly are. It is a huge relief and piece of mind to know that my daughter is safe, happy, and loved when I can't be there. Not only is she getting the care and attention she needs, but also learning and trying new things everyday. The decision to send our daughter to daycare was difficult, but the impact TLE has had on our family is wonderful. We have no regrets and always recommend them!!

I am writing to recognize the great staff at the Ledgewood location. My daughter Lily has been there since she was an infant and is excelling and having fun in the pre-school program. Lily is now a big sister, and after spending an amazing time bonding with my son Cameron while on maternity it was now time to go back to work. The wonderful women in the infant room Ms. Shanaz and Ms. Janet made what can be a very stressful time for a mother, a very easy transition. They are very attentive, organized and nurturing and should be recognized. Thank you ladies!!!

My passion has always been to make a child feel comfortable in a new environment away from their home and TLE provides that environment through the facility and the staff. My bonus is being rewarded with big hugs, smiles and baby kisses everyday- and NOTHING is more rewarding that that!

I pursued childcare during my senior year of high school and have loved it ever since! With raising two children of my own, I was able to bring that experience with me to TLE in September of 2010. While having the opportunity to work with all age groups, I felt my strongest connection was with the Toddlers! Introducing letters, numbers, shapes, colors and watching it click for them is so rewarding- and being a part of helping them grow is one of the best feelings!
