Our Caring & Experienced Staff

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

Krystle

The teachers genuinely care about the kids, and that gives me so much peace of mind. Dropping your child off each morning is never easy, but knowing he's loved and well cared for makes all the difference. In fact, he's so excited to go every morning that getting him to leave at the end of the day is usually the real challenge. He genuinely doesn't want to leave, and I think that says everything. A huge thank you as well to Ms. Amy and Ms. Talisa for all that you do behind the scenes. It takes a great team to create such a warm, welcoming environment, and it definitely shows. We feel incredibly lucky to have found TLE, and we're so grateful to all of the teachers who has been part of our son's journey.

I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, clean, and nurturing place for their child. I feel so fortunate that my son gets to grow and learn surrounded by people who genuinely care about him. ??

My wife and I have five children and have experienced a wide range of daycare environments. TLE stands out as one of the most exceptional daycares I have encountered both personally and professionally. Currently, our toddler is enrolled at TLE, and I am employed in a field that supports parents. In my daily interactions with parents, I frequently reference various aspects of TLE. Since our toddler was an infant, she has been attending TLE. I have never once felt that she was unsafe or neglected during her time there. In my opinion, TLE is one of the few daycares that genuinely invests in the personal relationships between each child and parent.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Learning Experience and the incredible group of teachers who truly love and care for the kiddos who walk through their doors each day. Lauryn has been surrounded by such kind, patient, and positive teachers who genuinely care about her learning, growth, and happiness. Ms. Ana and Ms. Talisa are absolutely amazing! They are always so positive, welcoming, and incredibly sweet with each student. You can truly see that what they do is more than just a job to them; they genuinely care about these kids. What I love most is that this place has never felt like just a “daycare.” It truly feels like a learning experience. The children are encouraged to learn, explore, grow, and build confidence while also being cared for and loved. As a parent, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is somewhere they are safe, happy, learning, and surrounded by people who genuinely care about them. We have had such a positive experience with Lauryn here and are so thankful for the teachers and staff who help make her days special. I would highly recommend The Learning Experience to any family looking for more than just childcare.

We have been sending our now 3 & 4 year old here for the past 5 months and they absolutely love it! We were at another local daycare before and ultimately ended up leaving and kept our kids home for a year because of the experiences we were having there. It has been a night and day difference. We were nervous trying day care again but everyone is so welcoming in the mornings and at pick up. When my kids are having hard mornings they really give the kids the attention and love they need. They are so open with communication and they share so many photos of the kids really enjoying the day there. They have events after hours and on weekends for holidays. The rooms are so clean, and they really address the different needs of every child. My kids come home and are always sharing the new things they are learning and it’s amazing seeing how much they have grown. All the praises to the staff and teachers.

As a parent, finding a pre-school that you feel safe and comfortable taking your child to is extremely difficult. However, as soon as I walked into this school, I knew in my heart it was the right place for my little one. I was extremely impressed with the facility, the staff and the curriculum. I love that I am able to receive updates and photos throughout the day to see what my kiddo is up to. I also love how diverse this school is. I cant say enough great things about this place!

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

Our parents regularly comment on the exceptional hygiene standards and welcoming atmosphere of our Tucson classrooms.

Karlita

This is the Best daycare! We chose this daycare, even though it was very far away, due to the quality of their care. Unfortunately, we had to choose something closer to home as the drive was taking a toll.. if the new place does not show the same, we will be back really fast regardless of the drive! They treat each one of those children like they on their own, like family!

Shahrzad K.

We loved our original daycare so much, but after I switched jobs, the distance just became too much so we started touring closer daycares when our eldest was transitioning into pre-k. We were pretty anxious about finding a new place for our girls — especially without any personal recommendations — but we couldn’t be happier with our choice!! We picked this daycare not only because it’s close to home, but also because the team made such a great first impression. Their curriculum is perfect for our preschooler, and the front office staff and teachers are all so kind and genuinely caring. You can really tell they love what they do. Our girls adapted so quickly — they felt comfortable within just two days and had a bunch of new friends by the end of the first week! Now, they look forward to going to school every morning. We’re so thankful for how smooth the transition has been and how much they’re learning and growing. A huge bonus is their app — I love being able to see pictures throughout the day, check what they’ve eaten, and get potty-training updates for our little one. The facility itself is super clean and very secure, which gives us such peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend this daycare to anyone!!

TLE Continental Ranch has been a fantastic place for our toddler to learn, grow, and be social. The staff and community are incredibly friendly and communicative about our child’s needs and progress. Tuition is on the pricey end - but you definitely get what you pay for! Everything is impeccably clean, the play equipment and toys always seem new and in good condition, and the TLE curriculum seems to be a really great system for early childhood education- even for littles before hitting preschool.

I have been with The Learning Experience for about 3 months now as I had to be back in the office for work. My son started at 21 months going just 3 days a week and not long after he moved into the 5 days a week because we could see so many benefits of being at TLE. Before starting we were working with a speech therapist who expressed that our son had some mild delays, but after being around the other kids he started gaining so much more confidence with talking and now he is saying short phrases and identifying things and repeating things all the time. He also has been in food therapy for about a year and I was nervous about him having to eat at TLE because he has a very small amount of foods he likes and doesn'tlike trying new things. For several weeks they didn't want any outside food, to get him to maybe get used to being around other kids eating. While he occasionally did try a new food, he was often starving when he came home. Thankfully the teachers have now worked with us to allow a bit of food for him if he doesn't eat what is offered. I really appreciate that they take the individual kid into consideration. After a few weeks of sad goodbyes in the morning, my son all of a sudden just realized daycare is a fun place to be and now when I drop him off he is always happy. I know that is because of a caring group of individuals who make sure he is taken care of. I love getting picture updates throughout the day on the app, some days have more pictures than others, but it is fun seeing some of the activities they do. TLE is new so it is still very clean with toys that are in great condition. My son has still been sick, but I expect that from any daycare no matter how clean it is. He comes home each day though and asks to wash his hands, so I know they are practicing good hand washing at least. My son has also picked up some great manners like saying thank you and you're welcome. My husband and I were a bit nervous about starting daycare but we are happy we found a great fit. I think more people should consider this great safe and educational center for their kids!

My son loved The Learning Experience. Ms. Gabby and Ms. Talisa are the best!!!

Alanna K.

Our son has been coming to TLE since he was 6 months old. We started on the day they opened! We have enjoyed our experience in the infant classroom and now toddler classroom. The facility is clean and the staff is very kind and caring to my little one. Miss Gabby always greets us with a smile and Miss Kat makes sure they have great meals. We love Miss Tessa in the toddler classroom as well. My son has done very well in this daycare so far and we have loved seeing his skills flourish. The app makes it nice to see what they are doing through updates and photos.

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

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

Amber B.

My daughter has gone here for a few months and absolutely loves her teachers! I love all the staff members, love how the school is ran, and highly recommend!

Johnathan B.

My daughter loves it. We drive out of the parking lot and she is screaming “look there is my school.” Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Dan D.

We switched to this preschool after the administration at a nearby preschool failed their staff and their students. Ms Gabby, Ms Amy, Ms Ana, and others have been amazing with our daughter and she loved the food that Ms Cat prepares for them as well! They really have thought a lot about how to solve the problems that plague comparable facilities. As recent teachers, the administration knows how important it is to support their staff and lead with positivity and enthusiasm! Our only regret is that it was a relatively short stay as our kid heads to Kindergarten in August. Thanks you all for preparing her is so many ways!!! ?

Is your child ready for kindergarten? Measured independently by COR Advantage during the 2025-2026 school year, our preschoolers achieve 97% kindergarten readiness.

Isabel

Our son Alexander is the happiest since starting here 2 months ago. We struggled at other places down the street from here and in the area. Often, it's the teachers, curriculum, and front office management staff that makes the difference and those elements for us must and are all in sync here. From the moment you walk in with Ms. Amy/Bri to the amazing teachers like Ms. Gaby, you will feel great. I never really feel like I leave because the "Bubbles and Friends" app is amazing. I know what he is doing throughout the day. In the app, you will get daily pics of your little one to see what is happening. They have exceeded our expectations. He has already told me that he doesn't want to go to kindergarten he wants to stay at HIS Learning Experience. We def don't regret this investment, and I am confident you won't either. Also, bonus no sick kiddos. Prob will happen, but not like I have experienced. Great classmates! This place is super clean :-)

There aren’t enough words to describe how much we adore this establishment. We’ve had a few daycare experiences and nothing ever felt right until this. What you see in the pictures is what you actually get in real life. Behind the beauty there is an incredible staff who deeply care for the children that are there. The staff is lead by a truly remarkable director, Amy, who is the kind of person that radiates joy. The center is successful because of the heart, effort and love that she puts into her staff, each and every one of the children and the physical space. On top of all those things, the curriculum is advanced and I can see a new development in our daughter that we hadn’t discovered before. I would literally shout it from the rooftops if I could. We love this place and if you’re looking for new care or looking to make a switch, you will not regret the decision to attend here.
