My family loves this place! The staff and the programming are amazing, and I can see that everyone pours their heart and soul into the kids. My child has been going to TLE since last year, and we cannot be happier with his development.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my children receive at The Learning Experience. From the moment we walked in for the tour, I was impressed by the warm, colorful welcoming atmosphere and the friendly staff (Ms. Miranda always there to greet us and asks about the family). The teachers are not only experienced but genuinely care about the children in their care. They take the time to get to know each child’s individual needs and provide a nurturing environment for learning and growth. My children have been attending TLE for almost 2 years and are thriving! I’d like to give a special shout out to the following teachers who have been nothing short of amazing in their development, Ms. Amiracle & Ms. Victoria for my 4 year old and Ms. Eyleen for my youngest! We love TLE and couldn’t recommend it more!

Every single morning and afternoon, all she would talk about Ms. Cherylynn; funny things she said, projects that they did, it didn't end, but in a good way. In fact, even now, with her being in kindergarten, she still asks to go see her (and we do every so often)! I'm glad we made the decision to enroll her there as she has nothing but happy memories

I visited many schools before choosing The Learning Experience of Apopka for my 3-year-old daughter and I can say that I am very happy with my choice. The first thing that convinced me was the safety of the school. The doors are always locked, you can only access through an authorized app; there are internal cameras in each classroom; the playground area is protected by a fence that does not allow you to see from the outside. Then I liked the spacious and colorful environments, the bright rooms, with many windows and full of toys. Every day, photos of the activities that the children do are uploaded to the app so that parents can follow their progress. The school is structured on the theme "Bubble and Friends", a series of cute and colorful characters used to support educational activities, so that children learn by playing. At first I was a little worried because my daughter doesn't understand English since we recently moved from Italy but the teachers with their patience and sweetness are managing to make her integrate and feel at ease. And she is learning a lot, she is even starting to speak a little English! My daughter loves her teachers Lila and Zahri and Mrs. G. who takes care of the kitchen but who is always nice and helpful with all the children. When you enter this school you really feel like you are entering a big family, my experience is definitely 5 stars!

As a mom, there’s no greater feeling than knowing your child is safe and loved. Thank you, TLE for giving me peace of mind! And a huge shout out to Ms. Diana for always checking up and caring for her too!

After 3 years at another center things were not to my liking so I looked into The Learning Experience and after the Tour I immediately took them out and put them in here. Everyone here is extremely kind and helpful and treat my kids with love and respect. They keep me informed and always let me know if anything needs my attention. Some centers I have noticed are only in it for the money and don't actually care about the kids (or want to do the work) but I feel more than comfortable leaving my kids here everyday and know they are in great hands. Thank you so much to everyone here at the Apopka location! <3

We couldn’t be happier with Ms. Kay as my daughter teacher! From day one, she has gone above and beyond to make sure my daughter feels safe, engaged, and excited to learn. Ms. Kay has a gift for creating a warm, welcoming environment where every child is treated with love and respect. She has a remarkable ability to recognize each child’s individual needs and strengths, and she finds creative ways to support their development. Whether it’s hands-on activities, storytime, or fun learning games, my daughter is always coming home with new skills and stories to share, and we see such positive growth every week. Thank you, Ms. Kay, for all the care, attention, and joy you bring to my child’s days. We feel truly grateful to have you as part of her journey

Not only is she very beautiful and kind but she was very professional and she did not miss a beat she explained everything to me and I pretty much had no questions after my tour! This school is spotless and the curriculum is out of this world I was blown away by that. I was also very impressed with the classrooms. We have definitely picked this as our pre school and my son was so excited he didn't want to leave! Very impressed and Sandra was amazing!....update: My son and I went back to the school today to drop off all of his paperwork and finalize his position for the fall...once again the staff was very accommodating and professional and we are super excited for him to start school there in August!

My husband and I have recently been looking around at different facilities for our son to continue his VPK education since a previous unpleasant experience at another local VPK. We decided to take our son for a tour of The Learning Experience in Apopka last week and were all really happy with what we saw. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the facility itself is very organized and clean. Lisa, who gave us the tour, was super sweet and answered all of our questions. The two factors that won me over are the safety features of the facility and the fact that they teach the kids Spanish. My son was able to play at the inside play area for a few minutes while we were there too, and he really enjoyed it. We are really excited for our son to get started here and are sure he will learn and grow tremendously in this environment.
