What sets our TLE® Centers apart
TLE® centers are vibrant, joyous place where kids love to learn and indulge their curiosity. Take a look inside.
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!
We love TLE West Loop. Our son, Oliver, has been there for several months and absolutely loves it. The staff is responsive, proactive and great caretakers. They post pictures, work on Oliver's development and ensure he gets energy out. You can tell they know every child personally. On top of that, the staff ensures you have detailed feedback, incorporate fun activities (i.e. art, pajama day, etc.) and provide you with worksheets on holidays to keep your kids busy. Overall, i can't say enough great things about the place. Thank you for everything you do!

My daughter started attending TLE West Loop in April of 2020. We found it after doing some search of what centers were still open after the global pandemic hit the nation, and centers closed abruptly. As an essential worker, I still had to work. My daughter was a few months shy of 3, not potty trained just yet and just barely starting to form sentences. One of the best things to happen to me in years, since becoming a mother, was seeing the exponential progress and happiness in my daughter's eyes on a day to day basis since she has been a student at TLE West Loop. She mastered potty training in just weeks with the help and partnership of the amazing staff at TLE West Loop. I can't imagine any other educational experience outside of what has been offered to us at The Learning Experience. I am beyond grateful for the last 10 months; my daughter is a brilliant toddler with the future of a star! TLE challenges her to be her best self all while developing her intellectually, socially, and cognitively. She truly embodies "Learn, Play, Grow." My daughter has learned about the planets, different animals and where they live, days of the week and months of the year... It's more than just ABC and 123, that's the basics! They even have circle time where they can do show & tell and parents can watch on zoom! At TLE they learn more and are challenged to their greatest intellectual abilities. As far as COVID, they try their best to ensure children still learn and grow and play while wearing masks and following safety standards on a day to day basis. Parents pick their children up in the lobby area, kids wash their hands often and classrooms are cleaned multiple times a day. Parents also have access to real-time photos of their children throughout the day on their app! I love it! I would highly recommend sending your child to TLE West Loop!

Our son has been a student at TLE West Loop since he was 3 months old. Now after 10 months of attendance, we can say that we are extremely happy to have sent him there. The staff has done an outstanding job keeping the center clean and open during a pandemic, and we feel very safe sending our son in everyday. Not only that, but it is such a pleasure to see him light up when he gets there every morning and is greeted by teachers who genuinely love taking care of him. The center sends us updates and pictures throughout the day of his daily activities, and it is always so great to see him happy and having fun with his friends. We feel very fortunate because many kids are missing out on critical social interaction amidst the pandemic. We think his exposure to the older kids in his classroom is the reason behind his early interest in eating solids, getting around independently and dancing. The center even set up a parent-teacher conference call via Zoom at the end of the year to discuss his progress. It was both fun and insightful to go over his well documented progress report with his infant classroom teacher. This past year has been a tough one to navigate, especially with regards to childcare, and we want to thank the staff for being so reliable with the excellent childcare they provide on a daily basis
