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.

We trust to know she is safe, cared for, growing and learning. Thank you TLE!!!

TLE has been an amazing part of my sons development. The staff is absolutely lovely, I love them all as does my little one. My little one is a tad hyperactive and they are understsnding about it. Hes been there for about a year and a half now. He started right before the pandemic and continued throughout. I am so highly impressed with how they handled procedures during the strictest times. I cannot recommend this school enough. My son is so excited for each day. "YAY! school!"

I cannot say enough about these teachers, especially in the infant room. I have three boys and a few moves so I have experiences a few different daycares. The amount of unconditional love Ms Elena and Ms Milagro have show my newborn baby boy is beyond anything I have ever experienced or could have imagined. The Clearwater location is very lucky to have them.

Love this school and the entire staff in it. They are so caring and helpful. My son absolutely loves going there every day. Ms. Megan and Ms. Sara always welcome him into the classroom each every morning making drop off a breeze. He also loves Ms Valerie there too. But most notably, Ms. Jackie and Ms.Jess were the absolute sweetest when they put a book of pictures, of my son, together for us to send to my husband, who is currently deployed overseas. Their kindness and thoughtfulness brought me to tears. Couldn't ask for a better school. The staff that Ms. Vivian & Nikki have put together are top notch.

This is the first time my daughter has been in any school setting. Ms. Maria has been amazing, my daughter felt comfortable in her care from day one. Ms. Maria always handles every situation accordingly. Ms. Maria is comforting and helps all the children adjust, Madison is excited about school and has learned so much. I'm very impressed. My other daughter who is not in school yet is even excited about school and hoping she will get Ms. Maria for VPK next year. Thank you Ms. Maria for being such a great teacher and taking such great care of the kids!

The learning experience is such a wonderful fit for our son. He has been in multiple daycares each with its own problems. I think all parents are skeptical when starting children in a new daycare, but The Learning Experiance has exceeded ALL expectations! From the amazing teachers, director, organization and learning all the way to the cutting edge security. Previous daycares had high turn over rates with less then qualified teachers. My son was suffering with his learning, growth, and development. Within 1 week of attending The learning experience I could see the difference! He walks into his classroom excited, and proud! He loves his school, and we couldn't be happier with the experience we have had!
