We’ve been a part of The Learning Experience (Wilmington) family for over 4 years and have two children currently enrolled - one in Preschool and the other in the Toddler program. The entire staff is invested in each child’s success and each child is treated as an individual. Everyone, from the administrators to the teachers, have been right along with us to help celebrate milestones while also helping to support learning needs. It is truly a happy environment where kindness, imagination, and achievement are encouraged and celebrated. The center itself reflects exactly that. It is colorful, bright, and conducive to learning. The curriculum is theme-based each month, but geared towards age-appropriate learning objectives. With that said, children of all ages still have plenty of time and space for activity, whether it’s active play on their designated playground or pretend play in the classroom. There is no shortage of things for them to experience. We are happy to be a part of the TLE (Wilmington) family and appreciate everything that they have done for our children. I’d highly recommend it to any family with childcare needs.

It goes without saying how wonderful and welcoming the Director Nicole is, and she's a large piece of what made us feel so comfortable in making our choice to send our little one here. Our kiddo has been there for just over 2 months and the staff are absolutely amazing. I can tell that they are really invested in the kids learning both academically and socially, providing updates throughout the day, that are sure to put a smile on any parents face! If you have the opportunity to send your kiddo(s) here, do it! You'll be so glad you did.

"I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care provided at The learning experience . From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for children. Every day, my child comes home excited to share the fun activities they participated in and the new friends they made. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. The daily schedule is thoughtfully designed to balance playtime, educational activities, and rest. I am impressed by the variety of activities offered, including arts and crafts, music, outdoor play, and more. Communication with the staff is excellent. They provide regular updates on my child's progress, including milestones achieved and areas of focus. I feel confident that my child is receiving the individual attention and support they need to thrive. I highly recommend The learning Experience with the wonderful Nicole as a director to any parent seeking a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child. The love and care provided by the staff is truly exceptional, and I am grateful to have found such an amazing place for my child's early development."

My son transferred to TLE Wilmington, Ma just about a year ago and my daughter started six months ago. We had previously been with another daycare provider in the area (whom we thought was very good) but we had friends who spoke very highly of TLE. We went and scheduled a visit with Jessica and have been hooked since that day. From ownership/management to the individual teachers our children love "their school". We are greatly every day that we made the switch, we love TLE!
