Dobbs Ferry families consistently report feeling secure about the supervision, entry protocols, and overall safety standards at our Center.
I’m so grateful to have my daughter at TLE.Before starting, she was cared for by a family member, so transitioning to daycare was a big change for us. The transition went so smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier with how welcoming, patient, and supportive everyone has been. Ms.Perla, Ms. Bianca and teachers are all wonderful and truly care about the children. As a mom, having a peace of mind knowing my daughter is safe, loved, and learning every day means everything to me. I appreciate everything they do and couldn’t be happier with our experience! ??
This was the first year my 2.5 year old son started a larger daycare setting and I was BEYOND nervous! I can’t say enough good things about TLE Dobbs. They continue to make my son feel loved and safe. Absolutely nothing is better than knowing your child is in good hands. I am forever grateful for the family at TLE Dobbs!
We had a wonderful experience at this TLE and couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter received. Our daughter has been enrolled with them since she was 4 months old and is almost 3 and a half now. Since that very first infant A class to now, each teacher/classroom staff have poured so much into creating safe and joyful spaces for the kids to learn and grow. As of late, the center has also started hosting more special events like breakfast with Pablo and a scholastic book fair which has been a nice addition to their already outstanding curriculum. I would recommend this daycare to anyone in the area and am so glad we found it for our little one. Thank you TLE Dobbs Ferry for everything!

We can’t say enough good things about our experience at TLE- Dobbs Ferry. The directors are very responsive and quick to address any questions or concerns. You can tell they care about the center, the staff, and every family. We are so grateful to all of the teachers for the attention and care they give our son every day. Their curriculum keeps our son stimulated and engaged, and he truly enjoys going to daycare. He is on track with all of his milestones, and his teachers have been incredibly helpful with introducing solids, sharing feeding techniques for us to try at home, and reinforcing them at daycare. That teamwork makes a big difference. Knowing he is so well taken care of gives us real peace of mind while we’re at work. We highly recommend TLE- Dobbs Ferry to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing, and well-run daycare.
We’ve had such a great experience with The Learning Experience! Transitioning from a family daycare felt like a big step, but Heather and Perla made it so easy and comfortable for us. They were incredibly supportive and welcoming from the start. The curriculum is really well done it's age appropriate and does a great job encouraging both learning and creativity in a fun way. Ms. Christina and Ms. Shannon are truly amazing. They’re so caring, patient, and dedicated, and it shows in how they connect with my child as well as the other children. We honestly feel so lucky to be part of this community! Thanks for all you do!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about TLE—they are, without a doubt, the best program out there. I explored several options before enrolling my daughter, and nothing compares. The management team is exceptional—friendly, accessible, caring, and genuinely happy in what they do. That positivity carries through to the entire staff. Every morning, my daughter is greeted not just by her teachers, but by other staff members as well, and they all say goodbye to her at the end of the day. It really feels like a family here. The teachers are incredible. My daughter is 4 years old and has learned so much in the nearly two years she’s been there. The program strikes a perfect balance between academics and play, and they offer such fun and enriching activities—she’s even doing yoga! I’m especially grateful to Perla (Director of Operations) and Heather (Educational Director), who are both amazing at what they do and clearly love their work. Ms. April, who helps with meals, is fantastic—no complaints from us at all when it comes to the food! Her current teachers, Ms. Christina, Ms. Shannon, and Ms. Luz, are truly wonderful. They’ve been incredibly supportive in helping us identify and understand our daughter’s individual needs, and they treat all the children as if they were their own. They take the time to explain the curriculum and provide thoughtful updates during pickup, which we really appreciate. They are never in a rush to leave—they genuinely love the kids and are always willing to stay a little longer when needed, which speaks volumes about their dedication. Her previous teachers—Ms. Felicia, Ms. Magaly, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Gabi, Ms. Adrienne, and Ms. Aticia—were just as caring and dedicated. My daughter learned a tremendous amount while in their care. Ms. Kayla even took the time to braid my daughter’s hair beautifully, which we loved (sometimes during her lunch break). Communication is excellent—we receive multiple updates each day about what she’s eaten, the activities she’s participated in, and photos, which we really appreciate. The weekly “learning bag” is such a thoughtful and fun touch. The facilities are great as well, including “Magic Boulevard” for imaginative play and a lovely playground. If you’re considering childcare options, I highly recommend TLE. It’s a place where your child will feel loved, supported, and will undoubtedly thrive. As a parent, you’ll feel completely at ease.
Our son has had a wonderful experience at The Learning Experience. From the very beginning, he has been treated with kindness, respect, and genuine care by the teachers and staff. They have created a supportive environment where he feels safe, valued, and encouraged to do his best. Academically, we have been very pleased with the quality of education he has received. His teachers have challenged him while also providing the support he needs to grow in confidence and ability. We have seen tremendous progress not only in his academic skills but also in his character, independence, and love of learning. Communication between the school and our family has been excellent. The staff are approachable, responsive, and truly invested in each student's success and well-being. We are grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our son's education and overall development. We would confidently recommend this school to any family looking for a caring, supportive, and high-quality learning environment.

One of the most common reasons families choose The Learning Experience Dobbs Ferry is our whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness.
This TLE has enriched my children’s lives. I can’t say enough great things about this place. Everyone is friendly. Everyone is professional. They’ve never made me feel like I wasn’t doing enough and they’ve supported me through the pull your hair out moments. I know my kids are safe here and I never have to worry about them not moving forward with their education & development. My daughter is a massive handful and they have been helping me potty train her.. they keep her engaged and learning for the entire day - they communicate with me if something is wrong or I need to reinforce something at home. They are just amazing. My son isn’t walking yet and he is able to have his SI sessions at the location. They are extremely communicative and they encourage and facilitate social interactions and maintain a comfortable center that is so clean and welcoming. My son’s teacher (Ms Adrienne,) she’s so committed to his development. She has a warm welcoming way about her and she just radiates the “momma bear” persona. I feel so safe leaving my baby with her. (& the supportive teachers as well.) I feel like my baby is so protected with her & he feels loved and protected with her too. When I tell him it’s time for school he gets the biggest smile on his face and it’s just so amazing. She has always made it clear that she is there for the children and that was really important for me to hear that and very reassuring. My daughter’s teachers are amazing as well and Lu has a special place in their hearts. What’s also great is that the teachers change so they are moved up periodically and I really was shook up about it the first shift but honestly it was a very good thing. I truly feel that because my kids are in such good hands it’s helped me grow into a better mom. I used to have so much anxiety about my kids development…..emotionally, SOCIALLY & physically. Literally I would have panic attacks at the playground if my kids started just talking to other kids. This place and IDK how—-they’ve made that feeling so much more manageable. I do not know what I would do without TLE. I was struggling so badly before I found them and barely sleeping at all. I’m so grateful and relieved that my kids are fortunate enough to receive the level of care, professionalism and dedication TLE has given them and ME!!!
The staff was warm and welcoming, Ms.Sarah had a contagious joy radiating out of her twaddler class. The administrators were all happy to help and guide me through their center.

I enrolled my toddler with TLE in march 2024 and the growth has been phenomenal. The place is big and interactive, the play ground and open area at huge. The teacher has been the differential, never saw someone so engage and passionate about teaching and taking care of little ones (we love Ms Sarah). The direction and adm staff is also very engaged and supportive. They are not only connected with the inside education but will the outside too, making campaigns to help the less fortunate and countries going through natural disasters. Just happy overall about the place my kid is now.
