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!
This was my first time having a small child in daycare so I was extremely nervous and picky about my selection, that's when I saw a familiar name "TLE" pop up. My oldest daughter attended in another state and she was very well cared for, challenged, and comfortable at The Learning Experience. The Sauganash location had just been built and had a couple infant spots opened. Upon visiting, I felt welcomed and part of a family as soon as I walked in the door! Fast forward to now, my child has been there almost a month now and loves it! Every time at drop off and pickup, she is greeted with smiles and friends. The instructors enjoy her and she enjoys them! There is never a moment where I don't know what's going on. I look forward to my thorough daily sheets and random pictures of her playing.

My son started daycare part time at TLE about a month ago and I'm astounded by his development. He was previously at home with me full time, and as a work-at-home mom I was just not able to focus on his development as much as he deserves. He's always been an engaged baby, but since beginning at TLE he has become even more adventurous and curious at home. He's trying to say words (he makes the "k" and "t" sounds when our cats are around, he makes the "b" sound when he picks up a book), and he is getting so steady on his feet I think he'll be walking by the end of the month! He's 9 months old, so he's got a bunch of separation anxiety and cries when I leave him in the mornings, but (even though it is heartbreaking to drop him off) the benefits he's getting from TLE's attentive care definitely outweigh the tough parts of the transition. I'm so glad we found this place!

We have had our now-4 and 1.5 year old kids at TLE since September 2018 and have been extremely pleased with their experience there. We also have an older child and this is our 4th daycare through the years, and I’d rate it as the best. Somehow all the staff are friendly all the time and they all know our kids well and seem to truly care about them. They communicate with us well and respond to our questions promptly. I like the curriculum a lot, one of the many perks of being a part of a national program. They handled our son’s milk allergy very nicely. I’ve been particularly impressed with the consistency of staff, which seems to be hard to find in daycare settling so I assume that means the staff are pretty happy as well. Thanks for taking such great care of our kids!

Truly a wonderful learning center! My favorite part of TLE is tbe staff. I find them easy to talk to and very welcoming. My 2 children love attending TLE of sauganash! I head to work stress free bc i know that my children are being cared for by nurturing educators which makes tbis parent thankful. I love that they teach infants sign language and to preschoolers they are being taught about U.S. Presidents. My children will be so ready for elementary school thanks to TLE. Lastly, I would be remissed if i didn't mention how clean the school is kept and the terrific well-balanced lunches they serve to the kids. Thank you TLE Sauganash

Our son started at the The Learning Experience right when he turned 3. The adjustment to full time pre-school was very smooth because of the caring and attentive teachers and staff. English is the second language for my son and they have been incredibly accommodating with the transition. The director and teachers are very responsive and attentive. The facilities are clean and kids-friendly. It is a very happy place to be: sunny and neat facilities, large indoor and outdoor playground for free play and physical exercise, fun learning activities, flexible drop-off and pick-up times for busy working parents, music and dance sessions, fun games etc. Our son made a lot of friends there and learned so much in less than a year. He is excited every morning to go to "work"! Thank you TLE for taking such good care of the kids and building the foundation for the school years ahead.
