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!
I am so happy I came across TLE in Shorewood! While searching for schools, I researched different things that I as a mother could be concerned about and I instantly fell in love with TLE during my tour. My son loves it, he comes home so happy and talking about everything he did and learned at school. I couldn't be any more grateful for the excellent communication they have with me about my child, makes me happy 😊 I cant wait to watch the continued progress my son does while in school. Great curriculum as well!

The Learning Experience is wonderful! I’m a teacher and I was looking for a change this year while things with my school were changing due to Covid. Little did I know, TLE would become home. My 3.5 year old is learning so much. Between the academics, emotional needs and socialization - I couldn’t ask for anything better. The facility is so clean and well taken care of. The staff, well, they are amazing and you can tell they have a true love for the kids and what they do... everyone is family. Everyday when I pick him up he says, “mom, why did you get me, can’t I stay”, to me that speaks volumes. I’ve already inquired about future things for my son with TLE - we’ve found home. Thank you! 💙

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with The Learning Experience. I did a lot of research, and visited numerous centers there was always something that made me uncomfortable until I found The Learning Experience, I knew right away this was the place for my daughter! The staff are true educators. At 3, my daughter knows letters, and she start to write her name, and is continuously challenged to reach her next level of learning. She brings home lovely pictures and always has a story to tell about what she did at school. Also, my daughter has food allergies and one of my main concerns was her being exposed to a potential allergen. Ms. Kristi and her staff have been extremely accommodating when it comes to my daughters meals. I thank you Ms. Kristi and everyone associated with The Learning Experience.

I have worked in the field for 20 plus years and have never seen a curriculum as amazing as what they have to offer at TLE. The staff at Shorewood TLE is just as amazing. Kristi and Debbie are beyond dedicated to what is best for students, families and staff. What they say is truly what you get. Love TLE Shorewood!!

The Learning Experience in Shorewood was the best decision for our family! As a first time mom, I was so nervous to send my 3 month old to daycare. However, I couldn't be happier. My baby is so loved and cared for at TLE and comes home so happy every day. He's also accelerating at a faster rate than he would being at home with me. I have complete confidence in the staff at TLE and am so happy we have TLE!!!
