My daughter came home one day and told me that she “Loves her teacher Ms. Nia” at the Missouri City location. My daughter is always excited to go to school and has learned so much since Ms. Nia has been her teacher! Ms. Nia has helped my daughter prepare for kindergarten and I’m so grateful. Ms. Nia calls me every month to give me updates on my daughter’s progress. I feel so blessed to be able to leave my daughter at her school and completely trust the staff to love on her, help her and guide her. The staff at The Learning Experience is great and always friendly! I would definitely recommend The Learning Experience to any parents that are trying to find a school for their little one. I hope all the teachers in my daughters future are as great as her teachers at The Learning Experience. Char

I'm amazed at how much my daughter Tylinn has learned this past year since attending TLE Quail Valley. At 3 years old, she learned how to spell her name, she knows all her letters, shapes, colors and numbers to 20. She sings songs in Spanish and recognizes things outside of school and will tell me how to say it in Spanish. She also is able to show me what sign language words she is working on that month. Before, attending TLE Tylinn knew how to count to 10, a few shapes and colors and recognized a few numbers. She has quadrupled her knowledge in short of 1 year.
