One day during summer camp my grandson got in the car so excited! When he began to share his day with me the first thing I noticed was there was no mention of electronics; instead it was games, stories, arts and crafts. It did my heart good to see and hear him excited about something that was not on a screen ! Thank you Learning Experience for your creativity and allowing me to have this experience with my grandson!

We toured at a few childcare centers in the area but, after visiting The Learning Center Blackwood, it was an easy choice! TLE met all my expectations and more- Spanish is incorporated into their lessons, parents can receive updates throughout the day via app, lots of outdoor/play time, center is clean and safe, etc. The owner, Lee, is very responsive and always willing to talk to address any questions and concerns. He truly cares about each of the kids, along with the rest of the staff. Most importantly, my son truly enjoys going to "school" everyday, has made friends and loves his teachers.

The Blackwood Learning Experience is an amazing place! It starts with Lee, the helpful owner, Nicole, the great director, who is hands on with the kids and ensures that both the established age appropriate curriculum and nurturing envirornment is provided to All children, the awesome friendly assistant director and all of the hard working and loving staff. They do a tremendous job from the time you drop your child off until pick up. The diversity of the children and the parents, from various culture and economic backgrounds provides a real world experience for those who attend. My two grandsons attend and the five year old could easily fit into a first grade class now and the three year old is progressing above expectations. My daughter recently moved to a very upscale neighborhood and moved the three year old to another daycare center (not tle) closer to her. The difference in the progress and overall happiness of the child was so glaring that he returned to Blackwood TLE! It was one of the best decisions ever and we will continue to make the drive until he is school age!!! This is a very SPECIAL place and I am so happy that my grandsons attend!!!!

My grandson attends The Learning Experience in Blackwood NJ. He is now 10 months old and has already learned so much! Whenever he comes to my house to visit I catch him doing sign language with his mom and dad and just see his overall progress and development since being in school. Sometimes at home Dylan can be a picky eater however his teachers work really hard each day to ensure he is getting adequate nutrition. He also really loves the school lunch! His teachers are so very loving and nurturing I am so happy he is there! I cant wait to see him to continue to develop and grow.
