Happy Little Learners
happyhappenshere.
From Infant through preschool, we make early education and daycare joyful, engaging and fun so children are happy to learn, play and grow.
Our L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) Curriculum uses fun, hands-on activities throughout early education to help children develop intellectually, socially and cognitively. Or as we say, to learn, play and grow.
Children love learning from characters—and studies show that it’s highly effective especially in preschool and early education. TLE® has a cast of unique, beloved characters, each one teaching children a new value or activity.

TLE is perfect for working parents! They have convenient hours which make drop-offs and pick-ups stress-free. The class sizes are small and the teachers do a great job at keeping the kids engaged in educational activities. We love getting daily activity pictures through the app.

Only great things to say, and I’m a pretty tough critic… Staff are welcoming, friendly, helpful, transparent, flexible, and hardworking. Having sent my child to two other so-called “elite pre-k thru 8” schools in the area the past several years, TLE has been a breath of... Read more

We just switched to the Learning Experience after being in another local daycare for over a year. I was fearful that my son would not adjust well and hesitated on even switching daycares for that reason. Like any other toddler they go through their separation anxiety phase and Tyler would cry a... Read more

We were really nervous about finding a daycare/school for our one-year-old. She has now been at The Learning Experience in Basking Ridge for almost one year and loves it.
