I just wanted to say how much I love Lily’s new teachers. They are so friendly, personable and truly adore Lily as much as I do. Her clothes haven’t been destroyed or covered in crap either. Thanks for finding such wonderful ladies this time around.

To Whom It May Concern, This letter is to make known my thoughts and opinions regarding Sarah Newton , the Center Director at The Learning Experience located at 161 River Rd. in Andover, MA. She has ultimately been responsible for the daily well being of my child, Aidan Garry (18 months) from approximately 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays. Aidan has been attending TLE with Mrs. Newton since he reached the requirements to do so; allowing both my wife and myself the ability to get back to work and spend time adjusting old habits and of course experimenting and making new habits with each passing success and failure alike as we explore the journey of parenting. From my very first apprehensive visit to The Learning Experience I was graciously and warmly met at the front entrance by Sarah. Sarah had the situaltional awarenes to know that we were new and in need of guidance, both physically and emotionally. Liz and I were like deer stuck in the high beams of anxiety, as we had never left Aidan alone for more than a quick power nap with immediate family up until that very moment. The staff surrounding us jumped into action like a well oiled machine, smiling and cheering to distract Aidan as my wife and I made our getaway. This team was obviously orchestrated by Mrs. Newton, in which my initial thoughts were that the team put on a good show for Aidan’s first day. I have learned this couldn’t be further from the truth. My child is not quick to warm up to strangers and can be guarded even with daily acquaintances; and to be honest it’s not a character trait that I discourage. Sarah has obviously taken the time needed to work her way into the “comfort zone” with these children as I often find my child or a classmate being consoled in her arms or entertained with big smiles on their faces. This level of trust with my child has directly influences my reasoning for keeping Aidan with her care. As with all industries the COVID Pandemic created challenges unparalleled by any instance in memory. Mrs Newton charismatic nature really helped keep my wife and I informed; from guiding staff to informing parents I do not remember a single instance of strain or challenge she did not handle professionally or gracefully. Her attention to the smaller details and informal meet and greets daily as I entered and left made me know that my child was in good hands and the right place to grow in a safe environment. I cannot speak highly enough of my interactions with Mrs. Newton and know that as my child grows he will have a stable, intelligent and caring educator leading his way.

One of the many ways that I know our daughter is having a good time at TLE, Andover, is when she does pretend play teaching at home, the “teacher” are ALWAYS super nice and patient. The curriculum and activities are rich, too. Her vocabulary is growing fast as an English Learner.

This daycare facility/school is the one I recommend to any parent. My child as always been kind kind of shy, although the teachers and all staff have made a beautiful connection with my baby. She loves her daycare and her teachers. She is only 2 years old and already talks about her day and knows her abc's and numbers and now she's actively tracing and coloring inside the lines at 2 years old. They have a wonderful system in which children are able to explore and learn as they quickly grow on us. This has been one of the great decisions I have made, I have explored other types of daycare before I was able to join the TLE family and I do not regret it. As a single parent it's really hard to keep up with everything sometimes but with the TLE family I can assure you things will feel less stressful and more Possible.
