Alicia and Kenny independently own and operate TLE of North Haledon. They have been married over 15 years, have three loving children, Kaylee, Damen and Dean, and a puppy, Harley. Alicia has been in the childcare industry for over 20 years, holding such titles as Assistant Teacher and Teacher, eventually finding her calling in management. To fulfill her lifelong dream of opening up her own childcare center, Alicia and Kenny decided that the support given to the franchisees combined with the excellence of curriculum that The Learning Experience provided to children was the path that they would take. Alicia and Kenny have successfully been running a Learning Experience in Mohegan Lake, New York since 2010 and were excited to open their second TLE in North Haledon, New Jersey in 2018.
