Curriculum that develops the whole child

Our L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) Curriculum uses fun, hands-on activities throughout early education to help children develop intellectually, socially and cognitively. Or as we say, to learn, play and grow.

The Learning Experience is a wonderful place for your child to flourish. When it comes to teaching, this staff knows what they are doing. They have a curriculum that is best in class. Everyday our child learns something new and exciting to share with us. Your child really is given the best start when learning is made fun. The staff is also extremely personable. They are all so kind and caring. It is very reassuring when you are leaving your most precious cargo in the hands of caregivers that you trust to care for them as you would. They really go the extra mile to deliver a world class experience for your child. The facility is also impeccably cleaned routinely. Honestly, it's one of the cleanest and most organized facilities you will ever see. The Learning Center also utilizes the best security technology to ensure your child's safety. There is also always someone to greet you at the front with a smile. This really is the best choice for giving your child a head start.

First-time mom and brought my baby here when I went back to work. I was worried, just like everyone else, about leaving my child with strangers all day. I love this daycare, however, and it's been a great transition because the teachers are excellent, and I love the option with their app. Although this center doesn't offer a live streaming type option, you can still get updates throughout the day via their app (diaper changes, feeding, etc.) and sometimes even pictures. Even during the COVID-19 situation, this center is dedicated to keeping its doors open to let those who still have to work do their thing, all while practicing extreme care to ensure the health and safety of teachers, children, and the facility.

My daughter absolutely loves going to school everyday! She comes home telling us what shes learned and often implements the Characters during certain activities! Her teacher Ms.Gordon is absolutely amazing, her school is always clean and looks amazing! The staff & management are always friendly and will go out of their way to help. I can’t wait to have her evaluated for The Pre-K program at our local Elementary School! She learned and grown so much, I’ll forever be thankful to TLE Dickinson!
