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!
My two children have attended the TLE in Waldwick, NJ for many years now. TLE is our literally our home away from home. The moment you enter the doors of TLE. you feel a warm and inviting welcome. The staff at TLE is beyond, warm-hearted and dedicated to instilling the love for learning in children. As well, their highly qualified teachers have prepared my children with the basic fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic. Grant and Trevor couldn’t be happier or in a warmer, safer and nurturing environment. Definitely TLE it’s the place to be!!!!!

When my twin girls were three months, it was time to head back to work. I was nervous about childcare and how I would balance it all. The administration and especially the caring teachers (Dina, Debbie, Michelle and Andrea amongst all the other wonderful women I see day in and day out) put me at ease that first, difficult week. Since then, my girls are SO happy and well taken care of each day. TLE exudes warmth, safety, creativity and happiness. We made the best decision! Thanks for all you do!

My daughter started TLE in September and absolutely loves it. She is in Miss Cathy's class and looks forward to going to school everyday. She is happy and full of great stories at the end of each day. My older daughter also went through TLE and had an excellent experience. TLE definitely prepared her for Kindergarten both socially and academically. The academic curriculum at TLE is excellent! Both my kids have learned so much and look forward to learning. I would recommend TLE to anyone looking for a great balance between learning and fun for their preschooler!

My older daughter has been going to TLE since she was only a few months old. I am so amazed at how much she has learned and grown. It wasn't even a second thought when it was time for my 2nd daughter to start. It is such a comfort to know they are in good hands every day. Miss Jessica is so good with the preschoolers. She always keeps me updated on my daughter daily. My 3 year old says "she is really nice and helps me write my name and color." Haha. Miss Val, miss Alexa, miss Monique and miss Jackie in the toddler room definitely have their hands full but do a great job keeping the little curious ones occupied and on schedule! Miss Val is amazing and fills me in on my little ones day when I pick her up. . So thank you to TLE and Lynnann for taking great care of my girls!!!

Our children go to TLE in Waldwick. We are very pleased with the education they are both receiving and our children are shining. The teachers love our kids so much and we feel the positive energy when we walk into the classrooms. Our kids are in Twaddlers and Preschool 1A and I cannot say enough about Miss Cathy, Miss Cara, Miss Jordan and Miss Kim. Miss Cathy has taught our daughter so many amazing things and she is even writing her name (at younger than 4 years old). She teaches manners and how to be a good friend. My daughter adores her and so do we! Miss Cathy, Miss Jordan and Miss Cara are so loving and are helping our little guy learn and develop into such a wonderful little boy! There is something wonderful about seeing your children run into school each morning. Thank you for helping the kids have a happy and successful initiation into the educational experience.
