Our Caring & Experienced Staff

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

Teshieka C.

When we started looking for educational options for our daughter, we knew we didn’t want just a daycare. We wanted a place that encouraged curiosity and sparked imagination! TLE has been the best choice for our daughter and our family. The teachers are warm, caring, and committed to educating little learners. Through innovative approaches combined with traditional methods, TLE has proven to be a place where our daughter can thrive. If you are looking for an environment where your child can learn and grow, look no further than The Learning Experience!

Neal P.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with TLE Columbia. The staff is warm, nurturing, and truly dedicated to the well-being and development of every child. From the very beginning, they made us feel welcome and reassured as first-time parents. Our child has not only grown socially and emotionally but is also learning so much every day — we’re constantly amazed at the new things she comes home saying and doing!

Safety & Peace of Mind

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

Daniel P.

We moved here from Pittsburgh and finding the right child care was a top priority. TLE made us feel so comfortable with the decision and the transition for our daughter has been nothing but exceptional! Moving is hard enough on kids, but only two weeks in and she loves everything about TLE. Could not be happier with our decision and thankful for the attention and care they provide her every day!

Roma P.

We’re so thankful for this school and the loving environment they’ve created. Our 2-year-old has already grown so much—she’s happy, social, and excited to go every day. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly care for each child. The facility is clean & very safe. We couldn’t ask for a better place for her to learn and thrive!

They love on him as if he was their own. So happy I found TLE! At pickup my three year old says “I Love my new daycare Mommy”! Job well done to the staff and directors!

My daughter loves this school. Only two days in and smiling throughout the day. She used to tell me how she was getting in trouble at her old center and getting put in timeout and that never happens here. She is so much happier and thriving in this center.
