What sets our TLE® Centers apart
TLE® centers are vibrant, joyous place where kids love to learn and indulge their curiosity. Take a look inside.




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!
My children started TLE in December 2014 after we had a terrible experience at a daycare in the Jackson area where we live... Upon walking into the center I knew this would be the center my children would be attending.. After explaining what we had gone through the staff were so warm and comforting... To say it was hard to leave my children in the care of someone else after our previous experience is an understatement.. Within the first week of my children attending we knew we made the right choice.. They have grown and learned so much.. The love and nurturing they receive while at Tle is more than we could have ever expected.. My children both smile upon arriving at school and seeing their teachers. I would highly recommend this center! I look forward to both of my children attending until they are of age to start school..

Both of my children started at TLE in December 2014... We had previously had a terrible experience with my then almost 4 year old son being injured in our precious daycare... When I walks into TLA of Manalapan I instantly got the feeling that they were the right center for us to start at once my son was healed... From our first day there we were welcomed into not only a daycare facility but a place that feels like home... The love my children have received is beyond a doubt one of the best feelings... They smile upon seeing they are at school and there are days they clearly don't want to leave... The peace of mind my husband I have is something we never thought we would feel... TLE has gone beyond our expectations... My children have learned and continue to learn so much and at the same time they are being nurtured and loved.. As a parent I couldn't ask for a better child care center... I have to add that we drive from Jackson and although it adds a half hour to my morning routine I will do whatever necessary to keep my children in a caring loving children care center.. Couldn't thank Karen and all of her staff enough for loving and nurturing our children they way they do!

Our son, Ian started daycare at 9 months. He will be 3 on the 17th of November. He is a friendly, outgoing, happy child, always with a smile on his face (even at 6:30AM). We moved to New Jersey a few months ago, in July 2015. Hoping to look for a new childcare center, and after visiting numerous ones, we finally chose TLE Manalapan. The 1st day I went to pick him up, he didn't even want to leave. He was stacking up blocks, and showing me the different toys. I ended up staying there for an extra hour (that's how I knew he enjoyed his time there). The transition to his new school was very smooth. The staff is very friendly, accommodating, supportive, and attentive. I like the security level (key fob to open the door, and pass code to sign in and out). It's wonderful that they are introduced to sign language. The Bubbles Mascot makes the school very child friendly. I've noticed that Ian has more conversations with us, and shares the things he learns (days of the week, songs, etc.). He comes home asking where the teachers are by name. We are glad we found a 2nd home for Ian!

My son started at TLE Manalapan in the infant room in 2010; he graduated from the preschool this past June 2015. My husband and I were more than satisfied with the care, the love and the academic skills he received. There were some changes in the staff over the 5 years but the lead teachers and administrators were consistent. The special events and the summer camp were always a lot of fun. They gave our son a really good start! Great place & good people... We miss it. Many thanks to Karen and her staff. Maria

My daughter, Ella and I have been a part of TLE Manalapan family for almost 3 years. I call TLE our family because they have always been there for the both of us. From the first day, the staff made us feel comfortable, which meant the world to me since I am a single mother and was leaving my daughter with someone other than family for the first time. Through the years that comfort continues and relationships were built with friends, parents, teachers, receptionists and directors. I can not begin to tell you the numerous times someone comforted Ella after a bad dream during nap time or missing mama throughout the day. I am so grateful for teachers who instilled manners, self esteem and a love for learning on my behalf. Not to mention the compassion and caregiving that the directors provided for Ella when she was sick with a fever until I was able to pick her up, the tlc to make a boo boo feel better, or even just to lend an ear and listen to me vent after a rough day at work. Ella and I know how blessed we are to have such a genuine and heartfelt community at TLE Manalapan and it starts with the fabulous staff! It's an amazing feeling to know that Ella will be beyond ready for kindergarten next year, academically, socially and emotionally, all in part to TLE Manalapan and the experience they give to every family!

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.
