Hello Upper West Side families my name is Jenna. I am thrilled to be a part of the Upper West Side Team! I have been working in education for over…
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!
We love TLE!! My son is in 3K here and my daughter is in the infant room. We love ALL of the teachers and staff as they are all so helpful and professional, but I cannot sing the praises of Elizabeth Martinez in the infant room highly enough! We’ve worked with lots of daycare professionals over the last few years (including the great ones at TLE), but Ms. Elizabeth truly stands out. She’s so loving towards our daughter while also being a calm and professional presence in the classroom. My daughter clearly loves her and we feel extremely confident dropping her off every morning knowing she’ll be well cared for. Ms. Elizabeth’s passion for caretaking shines through every interaction we have with her. My daughter practically leaps out of our arms to go see her every morning at drop-off. That’s pretty special! Overall, the facility is immaculate and brand new. My son loves to talk about going to the "inside playground" (yes an entire playground inside in NYC!) and Make Believe Boulevard where the kids get to play dress up and pretend to be in their own little town. We are also very happy with the participation with the DOE 3K for all program! The admin staff is always so kind and helpful and really goes above and beyond to make our experience at TLE positive, meaningful and safe. We love Shelby and Kristine!!

Adrielle Turner has been an exceptional leader at TLE Upper West Side and brought much-needed structure and stability to that location after a rocky start in 2022. Extremely supportive, responsive, and knowledgeable, Adrielle has used her expertise with children and background in speech language development to provide some invaluable insights and recommend interventions for our son that have really helped him make some tremendous strides over the past few months. Adrielle is passionate about and committed to creating educational environments that are inclusive and holistic. She really sees our children and their tremendous potential. Her manner is quiet yet confident. She does the work. She has made an impact. I hope that TLE will continue to recognize Adrielle’s tremendous gifts, support her development, and offer her opportunities to grow.

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.
