I enrolled my older daughter in TLE in 2018 then my baby in 2019. I cannot express how fantastic this center is from the Director to the teachers. I am an Essential Worker and during the Covid crisis TLE stayed open allowing parents a safe place to leave their children while we had to work. This school is always spotless with the health and safety of the children an utmost priority. It was even more so during the crisis. I had no hesitation in dropping off my girls because I knew they were in good hands. Crisis aside, the curriculum taught here is second to none. I’m always amazed at the milestones both of my daughters have made. Anyone looking for a childcare center should consider TLE Wayne as it has been a terrific experience for my entire family.

My daughter started with TLE (Wayne) when she was 15 months. I want to express my gratitude to this facility because my daughter did attend another daycare and she would cry all the time and it was causing me great anxiety. Shortly after, I decided to switch her to TLE and I immediately saw a change in her attitude. Ms. Norka and Ms. Courtney made my daughter's transition magical. My anxiety is no longer a factor. I could not be happier with TLE. Great staff, teachers and welcoming attitudes! As a first time mom, I am delighted to have made the decision to switch her to The Learning Experience. A happy daughter a relaxed mom! Thank you so much!

Our son started at TLE in September when he was 10 months old. This was our first experience leaving him for an extended time, and the first time he was left in the care of someone other than family. Ms. Shelley, Ms. Gigi and Ms. Margaret made us feel so comfortable during this transition. It was obvious that they cared for Connor so much and they were very patient with all our "new parent" questions and concerns. Friday was his last day in the infant room and although we are excited for Connor to be in the toddler room, we are all going to miss his old classroom very much. As we were leaving on Friday, Connor kept jumping out of my arms and into Ms. Gigi's, a clear sign of how much he loves her and enjoyed his time with her. We would highly recommend The Learning Experience!

Both of our girls received wonderful educational and social skills but more importantly, We know they were in loving and caring hands every single day. We are not exaggerating when I say we feel that TLE has become an extension of our family. We have witnessed the amount of effort each TLE team member makes to create a positive and nourishing environment. My children are already nostalgic and we are grateful for an experience that exceeded our expectations.

The Learning Experience (Wayne) is by far the BEST early childhood development center I have seen and experienced. I feel like calling the center a preschool or a daycare simply does mot capture what The Learning Experience offers. I came to the school without warning due to an emergency and was provided with an enrollment packet on the spot. I was told what was needed for my son to start and provided with contact information to inform the director, Shelly Coss of when we would be ready to start. Needless to say, my son was enrolled and began the following day. My son took to the center immediately and separated from me in minutes. When I called to check on him, I didn't even need to speak with his teacher. Director Shelly Coss answered the phone when I called and was able to give me a full update on my son's day. She had made it her duty to personally check on him and ensure his first day ever at school was going well. At pick up, I was greeted by smiling faces, including my son. I felt comfortable leaving my son at the center and was reassured by the staff that my son was in good hands. I have nothing but praises to sing of Ms. Coss and her staff at The Learning Experience- Wayne!

My son has been part of the TLE Wayne family for close to two years. He has grown with the love and support from everyone at the center. Each teacher and caregiver provides us with the attention we need to feel great about how out son is spending his day. Through every step of the way, from speaking more fluently to potty training and now leaning to write his name, TLE has been there...nurturing him. From learning to play time, I feel safe about the environment. The enrichment programs included in his day to day activities is fantastic and he always talks about his teachers and how much they help and teach him! I look forward to the warm welcomes in the morning by the staff and the big hugs from my happy son at the end of the day!

I'm so excited to see what else he will be learning.

We have fantastic memories with our time in Twaddlers with Ms. Donna and Ms. Angela and now in Preschool with Ms. Claudia and Ms. Annie. Let me not fail to mention the love shown to our daughter by even the additional support staff like Ms. Jasmine, Ms. Kristen and so many more. We are so pleased with the security measures taken place and seeing that Ms Gina is continuously checking staff/student ratios. Way to go TLE! Thank you for providing a home away from home for our Sheila.

We started to send our son to the Learning experience in Wayne after a failed attempt at a local Montessori and a semi successful venture with a nanny. We have nothing but good things to say about the professionalism, love and warmth that every teacher has displayed over a period of 1.5 yrs that our son has been with them. His confidence increased, he felt more comfortable in a crowd and his grasping power and vocabulary have been great. We feel so safe sending our kid to the daycare which helps us to focus on our jobs as well. I highly recommend the Learning Experience in Wayne to anyone in a heartbeat

Our son has now been going to the Learning Experience in Wayne for 21 months. He has transitioned every 6 months and is now in his 4th class. Each teacher we have encountered has been loving, warm, dedicated and making sure the kids felt at home and safe. We had a bad experience at a local montessori and this was so different that we knew this would work. Our son has been doing very well if I may say so myself :). For his age is social, talkative, playful and more than anything else HAPPY!! Talking about the facility. They provide a wide variety of food and snacks to the kids and it is so good. We could probably not be able to do it better if we made it at home. In the summer the activities they have for summer camp is so much fun Petting zoo, Wacky water day twice a week, Magician, Construction worker and so much more!! Also the past winter was so brutal but I think due to inclement weather they were probably not closed more than 1-2 days. The center head, teachers, support staff, love them all and highly recommend this center.
