Our Caring & Experienced Staff

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

R.t

We absolutely love The Learning Experience (TLE)! Our two older children attended TLE and are now in first grade and kindergarten, respectively, and they are both doing amazing in school. Both of them were already reading before starting kindergarten, which speaks volumes about the wonderful foundation they received at TLE. Our youngest is currently attending TLE, and she feels so loved and cared for. We are incredibly grateful to all the amazing teachers who have played such an important role in our children’s lives. A special thank you to Ms. Diane and Ms. Tera for always supporting our kids, encouraging them, and showering them with love. Your dedication and kindness mean so much to our family. The Kwofies love TLE so much, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our children’s early learning journey!

Our son started a few months ago and we are absolutely loving TLE! Our son is 2 years old and his vocabulary has expanded so much since staring, he is learning more and more each day. We are also so grateful to all the amazing teachers at the daycare who are so kind and compassionate to our son! Thank you for all that you do!

TLE is amazing. We have our 3 year in the school and the teachers are just amazing with my son, they are caring and patient with him, they give him extra attention when he is a little more emotional. It’s very comforting knowing he is in a safe and caring environment. Ms. Tera and Shawna are honestly really easy to get along with and go over and beyond with any concerns or questions I have. It’s hard to trust a place for your little one, I have no question in my mind that’s this is the place for my little one.

????? I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Learning Experience in Gilbert! As a first-time mom putting my son in daycare, I was honestly nervous and emotional about the whole experience. As a single mom, finding a place where I could feel completely comfortable leaving my son was especially important to me — and this school has exceeded every expectation I had. From the very beginning, the entire staff has made us feel welcomed, supported, and cared for. My son is so happy there, and seeing how comfortable and excited he is when he walks through the doors means everything to me. ?? I want to give a very special thank-you to Miss Madi, who has become my son’s absolute favorite teacher. The love, patience, and care she shows him is truly something special. I’m so grateful that he has a teacher he feels so connected to. Miss Jessica has also been absolutely amazing and has made such a positive impact on my son and our experience. I also want to recognize Shawna, the director, along with Miss Tera and Miss Diana. The leadership, communication, kindness, and genuine care they show to the children and families are incredible. And honestly, every teacher and staff member at this location deserves recognition. You can tell that they truly care about the children and want them to feel safe, loved, and happy. As a single mom, this daycare has made what could have been a very difficult transition into one of the best experiences I could have asked for. Knowing that my son is happy, learning, growing, and being loved while I’m at work gives me such peace of mind. I am incredibly grateful for everyone at The Learning Experience in Gilbert. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my boy and for making our family feel like part of yours. ?? I would wholeheartedly recommend The Learning Experience in Gilbert to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and caring place for their child. You will not be disappointed! ?????

Our family is so grateful for Shawna and the whole Learning Experience team! We moved here from another daycare and only wish we had done it sooner. Everyone is so welcoming and it feels like they genuinely care about every child and family that walks through the doors. My son loves Roquelle, Kate, McKenzie, Kalee, Amy, Emma… honestly I could name everyone that works here because they are all amazing. The building and classrooms are extremely clean and toys and activities are plentiful. My son is actually learning and not just doing free play all day. Shawna and Tera are very helpful, involved, and thoughtful and are willing to address any questions or concerns. We are so lucky we found TLE and this amazing team!

Switching daycares was truly the best decision we could have made for our family. We absolutely love our new center and have been so impressed with the learning experience and level of care our kids receive. From day one, the teachers welcomed us with so much warmth and made our entire family feel comfortable and supported. It’s also incredibly reassuring to have a director who is so hands-on, present, and genuinely dedicated to both her staff and the children. You can tell how much she cares about creating a positive environment for everyone. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and feel so grateful knowing our kids are in such caring hands every day!

Beautiful school with great staff and wonderful Management ! You will not be disappointed !

Manpreet K.

Our daughter has been attending this location for over a year, and we couldn't be happier with the learning experience! The staff truly creates a warm and nurturing environment. We especially appreciate Ms. Maria, Ms. Madi, Ms. Devine, and Ms. McKenzie—they have formed such a great relationship with our daughter. It's clear how much they care, and we've been impressed by how well she has connected with the newer teachers too. Highly recommend!

Journey F.

Nothing but GREAT experiences! My daughters teachers are INCREDIBLE, Ms. Madi, Ms. Val, Ms. Mia and Ms. Kamryn always on top of it when it comes to making sure the kids have a great time. The entire staff is kind, helpful and attentive. I love that there is consistency in teachers and there is always someone at the front to help if need be. I love how involved the directors Ms. Whitney and Ms. Danielle are and always on top of things NO surprises communication is on point! Highly suggest this location! Thank you TLE Morrison ranch for all you do!

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

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

Hannah O.

As a first-time parent, I was nervous and overwhelmed trying to find the right daycare. After touring several places, I immediately knew TLE was the one. The teachers are incredibly caring and treat the children with such kindness and attention. The facility is always spotless, and I love that they provide meals, so I don’t have to worry about packing lunch. We get regular updates and photos through the app which really puts my mind at ease. This isn’t just another daycare that’s focused on a paycheck—they truly care about the kids, and that’s something every parent wants. We’ve been there for almost a year now and I couldn’t imagine taking my kiddo anywhere else

Courtney G.

We have been thrilled with our experience at The Learning Experience-Gilbert/Morrison Ranch. Our toddler has been attending since she were an infant, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives here. The teachers are nurturing and attentive and are great at creating a warm and welcoming environment that truly feels like a second home to my daughter(I mean seriously a second home, she never wants to leave at pick up time because she has so much fun here). The directors and front office staff are also fantastic, always friendly and accommodating. They communicate well and genuinely care about the children and their families. They know every kid by name, and that takes some serious talent! Overall, The Learning Experience has exceeded our expectations, and we feel so fortunate to have found a place where our child is happy, learning, and thriving. I highly recommend this daycare for any families looking for a home away from home for your little ones!

Ashley V.

We LOVE The Learning Experience Morrison Ranch! We have been apart of this family for over two years and have truly had the best experience. Each teacher is so attentive and in tune with each student. The facility is extremely clean, the meals they serve are well balanced, and the curriculum is fantastic. Our son has moved from various stages of schooling here and each time we are pleasantly surprised by his progress in his learning. 10/10 recommend

We started at TLE January 2024 and have had nothing but a positive experience. Whitney and the entire staff have become our family and TLE is the home away from home I always imagined for my kids. Our son and daughter couldn't be more opposite but both have had their needs exceeded and are always coming home with good stories and positive experiences. My daughter is very shy and it's been incredible to see the amount of patience they've shown her and to watch her come out of her shell and become more and more confident. We can't say enough good things about this location and their staff.

Jennifer N.

We absolutely love The Learning Experience at Morrison Ranch. Our daughter comes home fulfilled at the end of the day and looks forward to the new activities she gets to do. Her teachers keep her engaged in learning, movement, making new friends and so much more. Miss. Whitney the center director is always friendly, sweet, organized and you can see she truly cares about the kiddos. The classrooms are set up for learning and play beautifully. We get notifications daily, along with photos of our daughter that show us all the exciting things she is doing throughout her day and there are always new and fun things for the kids to look forward to. Thank you, TLE!

Damini M.

Absolutely loved our entire experience at TLE Morrison Ranch. My boys have been going there since they were 6 months old and absolutely loved it. The staff there is exceptional and really prioritized our kids needs. The management has always gone above and beyond to ensure our family is getting the care we need!

Rayonee M.

My daughter has been going to TLE since she was 6 months old and my son is a TLE graduate! I have been nothing but happy with care and attention my daughter has received since starting her at TLE! Management has always been attentive and pro-active my needs and concerns! Recently, Ms. Danielle has joined the management staff and it has been a breath of fresh air having her. She has brought a bright smile and genuine care for all of the kiddos, that would warm any parent’s heart! ?

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

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

Stina W.

We LOVE TLE- Morrison ranch! 2 of our kids attend and we couldn't be happier with the management, teachers, staff, curriculum, and everything else you could think of! The entire office is involved in every child's day to day experience and truly cares about their happiness, education, and overall well being. We wouldn't send our babies anywhere else.

Dejon H.

This place has been absolutely amazing from Day one. My son has enjoyed every minute. He has built social skills and the curriculum has been amazing. The staff are really personable and this is a well ran facility

Katherine C.

Absolutely love this early education facility. My toddler has attended this school for a little over a year now and has excelled tremendously. The daily updates through the app is a very nice plus by seeing updates on what has been eaten, pictures of their activities, urine and bowel movements (as well as, how i.e. in toilet/diaper change, or accident), and nap times. The teachers and staff are all very kind, patient, caring, fun, and energetic. The safety, security, and cleanliness is exceptional. Couldn't be more pleased. Looking forward to have my next child attend here.

7/13/2022 We love TLE! Both of my kids (2 and 3) have been here for about 6 months and we couldn't be happier. We came from a Montessori school thinking that model would be the best choice for our kids, but TLE has proven to exceed our expectations in every way. The staff is friendly and consistent, meals are included (a saving grace, AND it is quality food - thank you Ms Diane!) and my kids are happy to come here. At previous schools, there were tears at drop-off and no excitement. At TLE, my kids look forward to going, there are no tears anymore and they are truly thriving. Such a great curriculum, beautiful campus and caring staff.

8/1/2022 My daughter has been going to TLE for over a year. Debbie the manager, teachers and staff have all been great. I feel she has been well taken care of and she has bonded with her teachers. It has been wonderful to see all the artwork they do and fun learning activities. The facility is very clean and new. Meals and snacks are provided. The school also puts on events several times a year like their holiday with Santa, breakfast with their adorable character Bubbles and parents date night. As two working parents it has been a blessing to have a reliable place for her during the day. She has already learned so many things and the early socialization has helped her blossom. We would highly recommend TLE - Morrison Ranch.

Michelle

I came to your facility for a pediatric clinical for my college. I am in nursing school. I have two sons that are older, so I have not been in a Daycare facility in a long time. My children went to a Montessori school in Mesa. Walking into your facility I was so pleased, the colors and the cleanliness was awesome. The staff was so amazing and nice. We had to have our background checks and fingerprint cards. The classrooms were so great with plenty of toys and teaching tools. The playground was beautiful, kitchen and meals were healthy and low sugar. If I had young ones again, this would be a first choice for me as a parent.

We have been taking our daughter to TLE (CO then AZ) since she was 8 weeks old. We have stayed with TLE because the staff are so caring and wonderful to our daughter and we feel like she is thriving cognitively and emotionally with their help. She learns so much from her teachers, peers and the great curriculum that is provided at TLE. At one point, we tried out a new daycare but only lasted a month. Our daughter had an accident in her class that was not observed or reported by the daycare workers. We called TLE and the staff was so happy to hear that she would be returning, and they immediately arranged for her to come back. She was so happy to see her favorite TLE teachers and friends, some of which have moved to TLE Morrison Ranch. We recently moved her to TLE Morrison Ranch for a few reasons, the largest being the staff. She has known some of the staff for quite some time and loves them like they are her extended family (we do too!!). When we first brought her to TLE Morrison Ranch, she ran to the teachers/staff and hugged them tightly 😊! They care deeply for her and it shows with how they interact and treat her/us! As much as we would like to feel special, we do notice that other children and families are treated the same 😉. The staff at TLE have always been amazing to us and TLE Morrison Ranch is no exception! Our daughter now tells us “I want to go to my new daycare” during the weekends. She is extremely happy and we have definitely made the right choice with TLE Morrison Ranch!

My daughter started this school on Monday. I want to say that I looked at so many schools. Learning Experience really stood out for several reasons. First Debbie was so amazing in accommodating an in person tour rather than a virtual tour and when I went- I got really excited, her warmth was incredible and the school- beautiful and immaculate. The core learning program and the goals set forth by the director exceptional- to add to the already impressive curriculum are things like yoga, dance, soccer. After weighing out all my options and research, this school really makes me proud to drop my little girl off each day. I dont feel like I'm schlepping my kid off to some daycare. I feel like I'm making an investment into her future! The community feeling and happiness my baby exerts each day when I pick her up or drop her off gives me so much peace when im at work. The extra time and care they take to keep me informed is also great. I just cant say enough about the teachers and staff and after such a short time in attendance I still feel like we are part of loving caring family that wants the best for my daughter and myself. look no further my time in researching and touring schools- and I really really feel like I've chosen the best!!! The proof is in the pudding when I see all smiles from my little one. After 2.5 years of in home care I thought it would be hard to transition but, now I actually wish I had her in the program since birth. shes learned the word "friends" and is singing songs and pointing out colors after only 3 days. Thank you guys for the magic you bring. I cant wait to see what the future brings to her bright little brown eyes! Sincerely, Suzanna
