I can’t tell you how comforting it is to know that my two daughters are in amazing hands during the week. They are in the Plainview location. The facility is very clean, the teachers truly love the children and it shows. They are both having fun and learning everyday. Nothing is better then picking them up at the end of the day and seeing them smiling, laughing, and playing with their friends. Richard B.

Ed is an Administrator in a local hospital and Brooke is a Registered Nurse. They are the parents of three children of their own and share a love for learning. Brooke has always wanted to work with children and while their own children were attending The Learning Experience of Northport, the Attard's fell in love with all that TLE stands for. They were so impressed with the curriculum, how much their children thrived at TLE and the Brand as a whole that they decided to open their own Center. Since 2020 they have enjoyed providing exceptional care to the Sachem community.
