Our Caring & Experienced Staff

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

Kayleigh

**If I could leave a million stars, I would!** Unfortunately, my 3-year-old daughter had to switch daycares twice in just 7 months due to negative circumstances that were completely out of our control. After everything we went through, I was really hoping to find a place where I could feel confident that my daughter was not only safe and cared for, but also learning, growing, and genuinely happy. I can honestly say that **the third time was the charm with The Learning Experience!** It has quickly become my daughter’s favorite place to go every day, and as a parent, that means everything to me. The staff go above and beyond each and every day to create a fun, engaging, and educational experience for the children. One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed compared to our previous daycares is how much intentional learning takes place here. In the past, I often felt that my daughter wasn’t being given enough of the proper resources and opportunities to learn beyond free play. At The Learning Experience, I can truly see how much she is being taught, encouraged, and supported every single day. My daughter has already started using sign language, is learning some Spanish, is getting better at identifying numbers, and is now counting past 20! She is even becoming more comfortable with using the potty. Seeing all of this progress in just a little over a months time makes me so happy, and I am incredibly grateful to have found a daycare that puts so much thought and effort into her development. I especially want to recognize her teachers, **Kailee and Sarah**, who are absolutely wonderful! They are always happy, kind, caring, and communicative. It is clear that they genuinely care about the children and want to see them succeed. Together, they create such a positive, loving, and encouraging environment where children can feel comfortable, have fun, and learn so much. We are so happy to be here!

Everyone at the Learning experience has been so pleasant so far. I enrolled my 2&4 year old a little over a month ago. My 2 year old has never been in care before and dropping him off was the hardest thing ever . The staff their constantly update you throughout the day in the app with pictures of your little ones so you know exactly what they are doing, eating, etc.They do great learning activities and the summer calendar is so fun. ALL the staff there are great but Ms. Hannah really makes my daughter feel comfortable and i genuinely feel as if she cares for her & Ms. Sierra, my son smiles when he sees pictures of them together. Thank you TLE for taking care of my children ??

I can’t say enough good things about TLE Clifton Park. The teachers are amazing, the communication is great, and my child loves being there. It’s such a good feeling dropping your child off and knowing they’re cared for, safe, and having fun while learning. Highly recommend!

My kids love it here, the staff is amazing and friendly. There is a lot of open communication which I love! Also enjoy getting updates with the bubbles and friends app and being able to see my kids having a good time!

The Learning Experience Academy provides a caring, safe, and nurturing environment where my daughter can explore, discover, and grow through engaging STEAM-based learning experiences. The teachers are attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s development, encouraging hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, art, and math that spark curiosity and creativity at an early age. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed for young learners, helping children build confidence, problem-solving skills, social development, and a strong educational foundation. The academy maintains excellent communication with parents and creates a welcoming atmosphere. The classrooms are clean, organized, and filled with interactive learning centers and fun STEAM activities that encourage exploration, imagination, and critical thinking. Overall, it has been a positive experience, and I would highly recommend The Learning Experience to parents looking for quality education, innovative STEAM learning, and compassionate care for their children.

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

Tristiana

Finding the right childcare for your kids is one of the hardest decisions a parent can make, but I can honestly say we hit the jackpot. Watching my children grow, learn, and feel so loved every single day has meant everything to me. From the moment we walked in, it felt different—warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. The staff go above and beyond, not just to keep the kids safe, but to truly know them, support them, and celebrate who they are as individuals. Seeing the excitement on my boys’ faces when they talk about their day says it all. And I have to give a special shoutout to Sara Moore, the director, who is absolutely amazing. Her dedication, kindness, and passion for what she does shine through in every part of the center. You can tell she truly cares about each child and every family, and that kind of leadership makes all the difference. I’m beyond grateful knowing my kids are in a place where they are not only cared for, but loved. It gives me so much peace of mind as a parent, and that’s something you just can’t put a price on

I was extremely nervous sending my daughter to a school that no one had heard about just yet….but boy am I glad that I did!! The Learning Experience has done wonders for my daughter. The staff are outstanding and you can tell that they truly care about the children. My daughter has thrived since being at the facility. My daughter feels safe at the center and that means the world to me. The school allows children to be children. My daughter talks my ear off on the way home about school. The staff are very attentive and will mold to your child’s needs. I would recommend this school to anyone that is looking for a good school for their child! My daughter loves all her teachers and especially Ms. Sara and Ms. Charlie! My daughter is always welcomed in the morning and says goodbye to them every night! Thank you TLE for all that you have done for my little one! My daughter loves coming to school each and every day!

Coyle

Our experience with The Learning Experience has been absolutely wonderful. The facility is always spotless, and every staff member is kind, supportive, and genuinely caring. My son is learning so much and growing every day, but what means the most to us is how he’s being prepared for life beyond the classroom. We are incredibly grateful to be part of the TLE family.

We toured many daycares in the area and the moment we stepped through the doors at TLE we just knew it was the perfect fit for our family. The facility is very clean, organized and brand new. The staff is truly amazing—so kind, patient, and genuinely caring with our child. They go above and beyond to make every child feel comfortable, supported, and happy each day. What stands out the most is how accommodating and attentive they are. Our child had a lot of separation anxiety in the beginning and the director Sara made it a point to personally reach out with updates throughout the day which was extremely appreciated! Ms. Sierra has been so kind and compassionate with my child while she adjusted to her new classroom. From the moment we walk in, she has a big welcoming smile and assures us it will be a great day. It melts my heart how she gives my child (and every child) the special attention they need and deserve. My child adores Ms. Sierra!! These small acts have made the transition so much easier for an anxious toddler and mama! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our child is in such a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. We are so grateful for everything they do!!! I highly recommend TLE!

Sarah

Finding a good daycare all around can be hard. The Learning Experience in Clifton Park has been wonderful. The directors are on top of things and easy to talk to. The teachers care about the children. They keep you informed on your child's day to day. They have fun events and activities for the family. The building is clean and feels safe with updated emergency response technology. If you are looking for a daycare in Clifton Park, I would recommend touring The Learning Experience.

Natalie

If I could give 10-20-30 stars I would. My son is 3.5 and this is his 4th day care / preschool since he was 8 months old. This is the ONLY school my husband and I have felt comfortable sending him to without me working there myself (I’m a preschool teacher myself). Sara, Charlie and the entire staff are phenomenal! They treat not only your child, but also treat you like family. Rose has been integral in his growth not only as a person, but academically. She was and is so kind and patient with him. All the staff truly have your child’s best interest at heart! Everyone always has a smile on their face. Sara or Charlie up front every morning to greet my son personally! If any of them were having a bad day, you’d never know it! The cleanliness of the building and communication is TOP NOTCH. It’s so refreshing to see staff cleaning, mopping, etc in the afternoon when I go pick up. There is no camera access for parents (staff only), but with the amount of photos throughout the day, as well as the open door policy and phone calls if need be there is no reason for camera access! I don’t even think twice about it! From the day we toured, we felt welcomed and like we had already been apart of the TLE family. We came from a really bad school, where he hated going. Would cry because he didn’t want to go. He now cries because he doesn’t want to leave! Thank you Sara, Charlie, Rose and everyone else at TLE for helping my son find his spark and his love for learning again!

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

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

Emily C.

My daughter has been going here for almost a month now and LOVES it!!! Her teachers are so amazing and helpful when it comes to questions and updates throughout the day. I couldn’t ask for a better place to send my baby. Everyone I've met so far has been so kind and always has a smile on their face. 10/10 recommend!!!

Nicole

Highly recommend The Learning Experience in Clifton Park. Finding a daycare was a very scary and daunting process, and choosing a new center that was untested by anyone was a risk. But I’m so so happy we enrolled our 11 month old here. For the past four months, everything has exceeded our expectations: the caring, professional, organized, and welcoming staff; the beautiful, safe, and clean facilities that I have personally observed being cleaned on a daily basis; the community-building and activities they coordinate. Thank you TLE!
