We can't be happier with TLE. Like many other parents, my husband and I were incredibly nervous about the pandemic and cared for my son at home until he turned 14.5 months. I was so worried about taking him to daycare full time, thinking he would take a long time to settle given that he'd spent all that time with us at home. To my surprise, he was incredibly happy since day 1 and settled very quickly. TLE is his favorite place! Every morning, he runs to us with his shoes in hand right after breakfast, promoting us to take him to TLE asap 🙂

I am the grandparent of Izabela and she attends TLE West Loop. Post Pandemic my husband and I saw Izabela fairly regularly. When the pandemic hit all of our visits came to a screeching halt, this was compounded by our move to Arizona. We were not sure when we would see her which was a stress point for us. It's been over a year since we have seen her in-person. Then, we were extended an invitation to the weekly zoom circle time where the children do show and tell, based on a specific topic. Because of this weekly meeting we are able to see our granddaughter as she grows. We see how she interacts with her peers and her instructor which is a side of her personality we would have never experienced without this weekly zoom meeting. What happens during the Zoom Meeting gives us a topic for conversation outside of school. We really appreciate and look forward to the zoom circle time meeting weekly!

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!
