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!
Emily has been attending TLE Manahawkin since she was 3 months old and there is no other childcare that I would ever send her too. Everyone in the center knows who she is and greats her with a smile and good morning every day. I am so lucky to have such a loving "family" and support system at TLE. I know that when I drop her off each morning she will be loved and well cared for. I love all the new things she learns even as an infant!
Nicole
Sending our two children to TLE was the best decision! Their preschool program has been phenomenal. My 4 year old is excited about going to school, learning new things, and most importantly, loves his teachers. Ms. Alison, Ms. Enjolic, and now Ms. Nicole are three amazing people. Andy has made leaps and bounds since his first day there. The toddler program is great as well. My 2 year old enjoys being there and has fun while learning. Ms. Tiffany is so fantastic with him. The front staff (Coleena, Shaleen, and Kelly) are professional, kind, and always greet you and your child by name. Even the teachers my boys do not have regularly always greet them by name and with a smile. It feels like a wonderful family here at TLE and I have no doubt that my boys are being well taken care of and are being prepared for school. Thank you TLE!
Samantha R
RJ started at TLE in the Prepper room. I was scared, sad and apprehensive about putting him into school after staying home with him since he was born but looking back I'm so glad that I did. I know that when I leave him in the morning he is loved, cared for and taught by an amazing group of people. The difference between TLE and other daycare centers is huge but the main thing that stands out to me is how much Shaleen, Colleena and Kelly truly love the kids as if they are their own as do all of RJ's current and past teachers. I want to thank all of you for all the hard work you've put into helping RJ grow into the boy he has become!
Christina
Cameron (4.5) and Sydney (2.5) have been attending TLE Manahawkin since they were both 1 year. Sydney has special needs and TLE welcomed her with open arms. To see my kids thriving in this learning environment is such a wonderful feeling. I leave them every morning knowing they are safe and loved by their teachers and owners (Shaleen and Colleena). I am always amazed by the cirriculum and to see what they learn every day. Not only do they learn letters, phonics, math and science. But they are also learning about philantrophy and manners. The kids are always so excited when we get their and never want to leave at night. We Love TLE!

Kennedy (27 months) has been attending school at The Learning Experience of Manahawkin since she was 8 weeks old. Not only does she still know and love her previous teachers from Infant A, Infant B, and Toddler, but they all love her and have provided and nurturing environment for my daughter. Management has been exceptionally caring and always ensures that my daughter's needs are being met and followed up on. Kennedy is now in the fun and exciting Twaddler room. She comes home everyday with a smile on her face when I pick her up. The curriculum is outstanding and the hot lunch program makes my life much easier when getting ready in the morning. They provide am and pm snack as well. All the food on the menu is healthy. I highly recommend this academy of learning to anyone who lives, or works in or around the Manahawkin area. Thank you TLE for all your love and devotion! Cha Cha, Sha Sha & Miss Kelly you are lovely and have put my mind at ease when I drop my baby girl off at school.
