Due to the pandemic of 2020 and my daughter having to go remote for school I had to move her to a different daycare that could accommodate her schedule and mine. Day after day she expressed how unhappy she was and that she just wanted to go back to The Learning Experience. I finally called Ms. Shannon with my fingers crossed, I explained to her how unhappy my daughter was and questioned is there anyway you could take her back. Ms. Shannon was upset to hear that my daughter was so upset. Her words to me were my heart is broken to hear this and yes you need to bring her back. Well that evening when I told my daughter you're GOING BACK

Oh my gosh, where to start?! Our son started at The Learning Experience (TLE) Tyngsboro after his in-home daycare suddenly closed their doors. I e-mailed TLE's director Shannon in an absolute PANIC at 6am on a Monday morning and she was immediately on my phone 5-minutes later reassuring me that TLE not only had a spot for our son, but that she would be happy to meet with us that day to talk. Shannon and Kori (assistant director) sat through my first-time-mom laundry list of questions and made my husband and I feel secure about absolutely everything. By that afternoon we decided on TLE for our son and we are SO glad we did. The environment is well maintained, beautiful and perfectly stimulating for little minds, the tuition is right on par with other childcare facilities and the staff loves our son just as much as we do! We look forward to many years to come at TLE Tyngsboro.

Center Director

I have been working in the Early Childhood Education field since 2016, I worked as a teacher and now a center director. Prior to pursuing teaching, I was in the business industry. I graduated with a Higher National Diploma in Supply Chain Management and a degree in Business Administration from the University of Ghana. I spent six years in the finance and manufacturing industry. Currently, I am pursuing master’s in early childhood education. I have decided to make early childhood education my life’s work, because I believe a child’s education is one of the most valuable assets in the world. I enjoy being with children and love the opportunity to help and watch them grow and flourish. I have 4 children of my own, two of whom have graduated from TLE and the other two are still in TLE. They love it as much as I do.

Favorite TLE® Character: Flexi Flamingo

Hi! I’m Ms. April I've been in childcare for two years. I come from a family of five with me being the eldest of three girls. For the past fifteen years I’ve not only worked in the restaurant business, but I have also worked for the same company. Working in customer service in my eyes is all about meeting the needs of others and people happy. Within that timeframe, I have built so many relationships! I am always told that I am a fun and energetic person to be around! My experience with children comes from helping with my two younger siblings growing up and of course raising me son for the past ten years. The love and passion I have experienced being a mother is why I chose to change careers and work with children! I believe all children should have a happy, safe, and loving environment that will help build their confidence.
