Our Caring & Experienced Staff

Teacher quality remains the top reason why families choose The Learning Experience Berkeley Township.

Kathy

My experience with staff in Berkeley has been very positive. They are responsive and proactive and already let me know about my son’s day. I’ve found that before care with Ms. Jalimar is comforting. She takes care of him as her own. Ms. Janet is bubbly and puts me at ease no matter what time I get there or what mood my son is in. Last but not least, Ms. Dina who is the eyes and ears and go to person for everything, I know I can trust her to make sure my child is ok throughout the day. She is on top of everything there so I know my son is safe and happy. Without that staff, Ms. Nikki and Cynthia too, there would be no heart. The staff you have is what gives your location life.

I just want to say that The Learning Experience at Berkeley Township is a fantastic daycare. My daughter has had a wonderful experience here and I am so thankful for all the staff. You are all phenomenal! As a parent, I want to thank everyone for giving my daughter a chance. I have nothing but wonderful and positive things to say. This facility is clean, it is safe and I can tell that Miss Dena loves her daycare. Thank you for everything! Sincerely Marsela Demirasi

Highly Recommend The Learning Experience! My son started at The Learning Experience when we first moved here 2 years ago at age 2.5. He had some learning challenges, but the staff was incredibly accepting and supportive. Miss Nikki and Miss Janet were absolutely phenomenal with him, helping him thrive. He then moved into a class with Miss CC which he loved, though it was a bit overstimulating for him. The staff responded quickly, moving him to a smaller, more accommodating class . At the front desk Miss Dina is always welcoming and caring. Miss Sara, who has moved to Eatontown location was always on top of everything and provided you as a parent peace of mind. My daughter began the learning experience when she turned 1 years old, and I couldn't be happier with the care and education she has received. From her very first days in the infant room with Miss Justine, to the toddler classroom with Miss Jalimar, Miss Lina, and Miss Sam, and now in the Twaddler Room with Miss Marissa and Miss Angie, she has loved every moment. She never cries upon drop-off and is always excited to see her friends and engage in the wonderful activities provided. The center keeps her constantly entertained and learning through a variety of stimulating activities. I can honestly say there are no negative words to share about our experience with The Learning Experience. Even with the food Mr. Larry prepares for the kids nutritional items that vary daily . Both of my children will be returning for the summer camp program, and I am very happy with the care and attention they receive. This center truly feels like a second home for us, and I highly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment for their children.

I can tell you hands down my experience with this day care has been nothing but exceptional. We moved from the Howell location to this one and we didn’t know what to expect… But they exceeded our expectations, the staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and always keeping us informed and updates us timely. Our kids have formed real connections with the staff, they truly treat you like family here. Thank you for showing up and choosing to be great! 10/10!

Ashley

The Learning Experience in Bayville is the most amazing daycare! Both my kids started at this daycare when they were 3 months old and they're now 2 1/2 and a year old, and all the teachers love them and treat them like they're their own kids. Everyone always greets us with a smile and does an amazing job taking care of the kids. The director Dena is an absolute angel and does anything and everything and goes beyond to accommodate everyone's needs. She truly makes you feel like you are family and make sure your kids are fully taken care of!

Safety & Peace of Mind

Berkeley Township families consistently report feeling secure about the supervision, entry protocols, and overall safety standards at our Center.

Romina

This is one of the best daycare centers I have ever brought my children to. Dena, the site director, is unbelievably patient, kind, and overall a wonderful person to speak to. Her staff is a reflection of her great leadership. My 3yo son is a handful, and the girls who run his classroom are just as patient. Miss Cece and Miss Santina have a firm grasp on that class. They have been very understanding and caring when redirecting my son's problematic behavior. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. Thank you to The Learning Experience of Berkeley.

Julie B.

We recently moved back to NJ and from another TLE. It was a smooth transition. The director and admin staff are always smiling, stop what they are doing to talk to you and keep in contact throughout the day as needed. The staff are happy and smiling, always greeting us at the door. The app is nice to see pics and get updates.

Absolutely love this center! The teachers my daughter has had in the past and her current teachers are amazing! They have really helped to bring my daughter out of her shell through creative play and social interactions. She has truly advanced and excelled since being in this school.

TLE in bayville is amazing! Second time mom but first time having to put my daughter into a daycare setting. The staff made that transition so much easier on me and my daughter!! Shout out to Jalmari and Brianna for always treating the kids as their own! Zarah loves going to school because of them!

I love TLE! I would never send my kids anywhere else! Fantastic staff who love my kids as much as I do! I never worry because I know my kids are well taken care of. I have had the privilege of being with TLE for many years and I love the fact that Dena has been there throughout my journey! She has always helped me and is the reason why I recommend TLE to everyone I know. Also with covid such a difficult time Judy and Kathleen and all staff were soo kind and understanding!

Nicole S.

My son goes here. Such a great environment . The staff is very welcoming friendly and helpful.

Carin D.

I have been using The Learning Experience for over 10 years for my children. The teachers are so wonderful and the owners are great. I never had to worry about my children while I was at work. They learned so much and made great friends! My daughter graduates today. She is going to miss her daycare and all of the wonderful people. I recommend this daycare to every parent, who is looking for great, loving care for their little ones.

Timothy M.

My son Sawyer absolutely loves TLE. Previous daycares/Pre-K he was in he would beg me not to go each morning but I have not heard that once since Ms. Thomas has been his teacher. He absolutely loves it there and he's doing so well.

Mikey enrolled at TLE Berkeley shortly after turning two. We had just moved from Pennsylvania and Mikey had to not only adjust to a new home but a new baby brother as well. Fortunately, we visited TLE Berkeley and soon after he started in the Twaddler room. As he has progressed from Twaddler to Prepper and now all the way to Preschool 3, what is still the most amazing part to me was how quickly he took to his teachers and his new friends. The people and the environment at this particular TLE was exactly what he needed to make his new home feel right. He loves going to school, playing with his friends, and yes, he even loves it when he gets homework! I could not be happier watching my son grow up with such a wonderful group of caring people. He has taken to TLE Berkeley like a home away from home, and for that, I am truly grateful.

Erin C.

I have had three children attend this Learning Experience center since 2008. Two have graduated to public school and the youngest is half-way through her journey. I love that Dena, and Chet still ask about my boys and are thrilled to see them when they return for a visit. Education is as much about creating relationships as it is about academics and the staff at TLE Berkeley, NJ have found a nice balance between the two key elements to students' success. Bravo!

Kristen M.

My 2 year old son has learned so much since he started at TLE. Everyone is so nice and you can tell they really care about, and truly enjoy the children. He comes home singing songs and doing the hand gestures that go along with them, he is using sign language, and his overall speech and communication has improved greatly. My son is very happy here... which makes me very happy as well :)

Heather R.

My twin boys have being going to this amazing school for more then two years now. Teacher's and all staff are very caring, loving, clean, and very much concered about your childs well being while they are having fun with them at the same time. That being said my review is my boys and I adore The Learning Experience and being a part of such a wonderful school.....

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

One of the most common reasons families choose The Learning Experience Berkeley Township is our whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness.

Lauren C.

My 3.5 year old daughter and 1 year old son go to TLE Berkeley and we love it! We started my daughter at the Jackson location when she was 6 months old and just recently moved to the Berkeley area this past March. I was anxious about how she would react to the change in location/caregivers, but the Berkeley staff were so welcoming and accommodating that she felt right at home in her new school. It was great to keep her school structure consistent and familiar throughout all the change that moving to a new home brings. The staff is very friendly and take wonderful care of my children!

Kristee

I am fairly new to this facility, but I can say that it is a truly amazing place for children. My child has learned so much in a little amount of time. The staff is friendly, dependable, and highly educated when it comes to my child's needs and learning style. The teachers are passionate about helping the children succeed and learn. My child is currently ahead of where she is expected to be socially and developmentally. The curriculum here is one of the best I have seen. Not only do the children develop and learn through play, they also learn through doing projects. This facility gives children endless learning opportunities. I highly recommend The Learning Experience to anyone and everyone with children. Your child deserves only the best when it comes to learning and developing and this facility will provide just that!

Mike T.

My son attends TLE and we couldnt be happier with not only his progress but the feeling we get from the entire staff. Everyone acknowledges you and make sure to keep you updated on your childs progress and the happenings at the school, bc lets be honest we sometimes forget to read the memos coming home. Great expeience all around.

Melissa G.

My son has been attending the Learning Experience in Berkeley for 2 1/2 years and absolutely loves it. The entire staff is amazing and so accommodating. From the day I toured the school I just fell in love with the atmosphere, the director and all the teachers. As a parent sending your child to day care can be very scary and I just have comfort knowing he is in such a great environment. Love love my TLE!

My Nephew goes to the school. I am amazed at how well he is developing. The teachers are all so nice and wonderful with all the children.

Michelle R.

My son has been at TLE almost two years now. We are extremely pleased with our experience here. Not only is it comforting it is structured. It's not daycare, they are learning everyday. I'm excited everyday to see what my son learned and wants to show me. They make the transition not only easy for your child but easy for the parent struggling with leaving their child with others.

Julie L.

Our daughter started tlc in bayville almost 2 months ago. Since she has been there we noticed an inCrease in her verbal and non verbal communication. She even came home in oct singing a song! sShe loves her twaddler teachers and is always well cared for! All the staff is super friendly and available anytime I have a question.

Randi B.

Two of my children have been going here for a year now. Our family and 2 children love it there and are very satisfied with their loving staff and the amazing curriculum. My daughter started there at 4 months old and has been communicating with sign language she learned from her loving teacher within a few months. All the Staff is very caring,loving and nurturing. My daughter is always welcomed with a big hug every morning which makes me feel very confident going to work leaving her,knowing shes going to get the snuggles she wants and the education she needs. I can go on and on about how much i love this place and the women who work there.
