We love hearing from our happy parents
Parents are such an important part of The Learning Experience family. We love hearing from them–especially when they share with us the growth and learning they see in their children!
As parents we are faced with so many difficult decisions. The decision to enroll my daughter at the TLE of Manahawkin was one of the best decisions I have made. Kacey started when she was about 20 months old and has been attending ever since. After she graduated. she stayed in the before and after school program and summer camp. When she start kindergarten she was very prepared for what she would be learning. TLE has a state of the art curriculum from sign language, phonics and the numerous enrichment programs. When she walked through the door for the first time, she not only entered her 1st school. but became part of a family. I am so thankful for the love and care that she has received over the years.

My daughter started at the Manahawkin location when she was 20 months old. We quickly not only had a peace of mind knowing she was being cared for, but became part of an extended family and support system. This is a saying"it takes a.village to raise a child" well I'm happy say my village includes the owners and staff of The Learning Experience!

When we were looking for a new daycare for our older son, Jake, we were weary after our first daycare experience. After our first visit to TLE, we knew immediately that TLE was more than a daycare...it was a home away from home and a nurturing environment for the children and teachers alike. In July we welcomed Alex and like any mom, I was nervous on my first day back to work. As anxious as I was, Ms. Erin and Ms. Christina were equally as excited to welcome Alex. Anyone who has seen Alex at school knows he LOVES Ms. Erin and Ms. Christina! As parents, there's nothing more exciting than seeing your children grow into curious learners and little boys and girls that are encouraged to be themselves. For those reasons (and so many more!), we love TLE and especially the teachers and owners that make it so special!

My daughter Taylor attended TLE Manahawkin for 4 years and is now excelling in school both socially and academically. The curriculum and the love and guidance from the teachers has truly been a blessing. In January, we welcomed a son, Ryan, and there was no question about who we would trust to care for him. Christina and Erin are an absolute gift! We are never worried about how Ryan's day is going when he is with his TLE family!

I can't say enough about this school & staff! Extremely well maintained, clean & well secured. My son loves going & actually requested we send him 5 days a week instead of the 3 days he initially was enrolled for. So we did & can't be happier. Shaleen, Colleena, Ms. Kelly & My sons teacher Ms. Jeannine are all wonderful, loving & caring. Oh & can't forget Ms. Kristen who prepares the provided lunch -how great is that?- She is the sweetest & has gotten my son to eat and or at least try a variety of healthy foods! Love you TLE Manahawkin !!!!!!!!!!

Characters that bring learning to life
Designed for six stages of early development
Our curriculum is specially designed and created to focus on each of the six early stages of development: Infant, Toddler, Twaddler, Prepper, Preschooler and Kindergartener.
Built with your child’s needs in mind
At each TLE® Center, every detail was picked deliberately — and plays a key part. Together, they inspire a child’s natural curiosity and creativity, and create an overall environment where children feel comfortable, safe and ready to learn.
Committed to innovation in childcare
Since 1980, The Learning Experience® founders the Weissman family have worked to develop and implement childcare and early education programs that are innovative, ground-breaking and built upon three key principles: Learn, Play and Grow.
