It’s only been two weeks or so for me and my family. We needed a place that was accessible, great hours of operation, safe, clean and more importantly a place our baby can lovingly flourish in. I’m looking forward to more pleasurable experiences as my baby grows here.

I have and am always available during the day. The program is good and Ma'Leiah have made progress being here at The Learning Experience. She's making friends and enjoying her walks and playtime in her class. I can't wait to see what else is in store for her as she grows! I absolutely love The Learning Experience and recommend anybody who's looking for a daycare for their child to come here! They are the best!

In the most recent months, my son started attending The Learning Experience. I love how seamless and easy the transition has been. Teachers have communicated efficiently with us regarding any updates or events happening at the school. I love how versatile it is and including things like Sign Language to teach the kids. My favorite thing is early drop offs for early risers so you can also make sure your child is in a safe environment. Everyone is issued key fobs so only parents have access. It's been and all-around life changing experience for myself and my son.
