Can I just first start off by saying AMAZING!! My son started at the TLE Redlands as soon as they opened their doors in December of 2019. He absolutely LOVES his Preschool 1 teacher and is so excited to go to school everyday. I can not believe how much he has grown academically since starting at the Academy. He is reading site words and short stories, he loves writing and is always telling me how much he learns at school. Not only does he tell me, TLE has an App for parents where I can see in real time what he is doing and I can see the excitement on his face! I could not be happier with the educational experience he has had these last few months and really look forward to the next two years here at the Academy. I love how they teach through technology and he really enjoys showing me how to use the computer now, mouse and all. I would absolutely recommend The Learning Experience, Redlands to any parent looking for the perfect place for your child to grown and Learn in a loving, fresh environment.
