Gurnee Preschool & Daycare Gurnee, IL

We couldn’t be happier with The Learning Experience – Gurnee. The staff is incredible — they go above and beyond to ensure every child feels valued and supported. Our son comes home each day sharing stories about his friends and teachers. We feel so lucky to have found a place that blends fun and learning so beautifully.

TLE Gurnee has been amazing for our family. The teachers are always smiling, the activities are so creative, and our son has made so many friends. It’s such a warm and happy place.

WOW WOW WOW… what can i say? The teachers here at TLE gurnee have been nothing but amazing!! I’m so heartbroken we had to leave for our job but every step of the way from their first day to their last day has been nothing but amazing! Such amazing and wonderful teachers like Ms. Ann, Ms. Lucy, Ms. Keke, Ms. Jessi, Ms. Abigail, Ms. Angelita, Ms. Karoline, Ms. Yatziri, Ms. Eniko, Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Makayla, and Ms. Essence! All of them have been nothing but exceptional in caring for the babies and helping them grow every day. I cannot recommend this daycare in Gurnee and the teachers enough! We will miss them so much!!

TLE in Gurnee IL has been the best choice we made for my daughter Kaylee who started as a toddler and now has transitioned into the preschool 3 A class. She has grown and moved up within each classroom and she has taken with her at least one or two goals on her way as she transitioned. She is now in Preschool 3 A and i decided not to put her in public school and to keep her full time at TLE because she is learning and engaging a lot within her classroom with still getting her needs met for her age. I really connected with her teachers Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Savannah, they are always keeping me informed of daily tasks that my daughter has completed or they encourage me to work on some things at home that can make her learning experience better. I love that Gurnee TLE is always hosting fun family activities for the kiddos, and they are always up to date with her newsletter and app. I love the app because I can see what my daughter is doing throughout the day and I enjoy seeing her pictures pop up during my day. All the staff are super friendly and the front desk office maangement is awesome, they are always smiling and happy and greeting me in the morning and afternoon. I love that Ms. Breanna is always hosting the events and she always takes a min or two to chat with me to see how I am doing and uses my personal name to acknowledge me . Everytime I call Ms Jess is always polite and ready to answer any questions or concerns I have and she is wonderful. I am very happy and will keep my daughter enrolled until she is starts public school. Thanks TLE for keeping my daughter happy and healthy.

Our family has been sending at least one child to TLE for 7 years - essentially since they’ve been open! Our son started as an infant and continued through preschool and the school age summer program and our daughter has been attending for almost 3 years, also since infancy. We will be leaving TLE soon - but not due to a lack of satisfaction with the program. Leaving actually makes me feel quite emotional as the teachers and staff have felt like a part of our family for many years! Ms. Kristin is an excellent center director and has always been very communicative and professional. She truly cares about the kids. Both kids have had many great teachers - too many to name individually - but I would be remiss in not mentioning Ms. Ann, Ms. Lucy, Ms. Eniko, Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Angela, and Ms. Jessica who have always been so kind to both our kids and our family as a whole. TLE will always hold a special place in our hearts! Our kids thrived under the care of the teachers and staff and we will miss everyone very much!

I am beyond grateful for the staff at TLE! They have made a tremendous impact on the life of my son. Kristen and Jess have done an amazing job and never gave up on my son when he was having a rough time. The partnership I have with them is invaluable and because of their dedication I don’t hesitate ever in having the best part of me in their care. Ms. Makia and Ms. Courtney have given so much love to my son and loved him through his rough patch and handled him with such great care. There are not enough words on the planet to express my sincere gratitude to them both. Now that he has moved up with Ms. Delia and Ms. Lauren I have seen tremendous growth in his learning even more than what I have seen over the past 2 1/2 years we have been with TLE-Gurnee. They have done great things in a short amount of time. I pray God continues to bless all the staff at TLE. They are truly PHENOMENAL!

I have been taking my daughter since she was 2 y.o. I was transitioning from working at home to working outside of home. Rosabella has been with me since she was born, not one day went by that she wasnt with me . The transition was tough at the beginning, but the staff made sure she was comforted and also helped me to feel comfort in dropping her off.. She has since then transitioned to the preppers class which took a little getting used to, but they allowed her to go to her older class for a little bit before she full on was in preppers. Mrs. Michelle and Ms. Heavenlee are just so great! We love them and I genuinely feel like they Care about the children including RosiiBee, who they treat as family!! It makes me feel so comfortable when they greet my child with care and comfort her to this day because she still has difficulty at some drop offs where she will cry. They always get her to calm down and it makes me not feel bad when leaving. When she has to switch again I will be sad that she won't be with them anymore, however, I Will still be okay because most of the staff already know her and her name and everyone I pass by always usually has a smile on and greets us. Kristen and Jess are also great! They are so helpful and definitely kind as well! Thank you for your kindness and care ! ??

Big shout out to Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Savannah for making my little ones experience amazing, educational, exciting, and so much more! For the first time in a long time my Jordynn loves going to school and can’t wait to go back every day! Thank you! I love and appreciate you guys more than you know!!

TLE was the first daycare I decided to bring my children to and we have been here for 3+ years. Even when I moved away and the commute was longer we still decided to stay because of how great of an experience it is for my family. Having peace of mind that your children are not only safe but cared for is priceless. We also love how much TLE incorporates the community through special events and love how they provide educational activities. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to parents or caregivers!

I can't say enough great things about The Learning Experience in Gurnee! The staff is absolutely amazing they are kind, patient, and really care about the kids. My child has shown exceptional improvement since starting here. It’s been wonderful to see the progress! I feel completely at ease knowing my child is in good hands. I highly recommend this place to any parent looking for a great learning center. It’s been a fantastic experience for us

We are very happy with the care our child receives in Infant A. Ms. Lucy and Ms. Ann are incredibly observant and really know my son, and can tell immediately if his demeanor is off. They go above and beyond to create a stable, enriching, and clean environment. They pay attention to so many small details to provide a classroom that provides both stability and developmentally appropriate enrichment for the babies. It’s hard to leave an infant when they are so delicate in order to return to work, and I am so grateful that my son is in the excellent care of Ms. Ann, Ms. Lucy, and Ms. Angela!

Since day one I’ve received tremendous support from TLE for my son. They are truly the best at what they do. ??

Feeling incredibly grateful for two amazing teachers in our lives — Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Savannah, my little one’s P3 teachers. ? Their patience, kindness, and creativity have made such a positive impact on my 4-year-old’s growth and confidence. Every day, they show up with love and dedication, making learning fun and meaningful. It's clear they pour their hearts into what they do — and it doesn’t go unnoticed. ? Thank you for being such wonderful guides, nurturers, and role models. Summer and I so lucky to have you both! ?? #TeacherAppreciation #GratefulParent #P3Superstars #ThankYouTeachers

I couldn't be happier with the staff. When I first put my kid in daycare I was nervous. You hear horror stories but I never felt that way with TLE. They gave wonderful advice in transitioning my daughter from room to room. They gave us reassurance that our daughter will soon get used to the routine. Sure enough the tears were gone. I want to thank my daughter Keiras teachers Ms.Nina, Ms.Sara, Ms. Makia, and Ms. Savannah for Keiras journey to grow amd learn.

My daughter has been attending The Learning Experience, in Gurnee, for almost ten months now. She increasingly feels at home there, and has been warmly embraced by the entire staff. Her current teachers, Ms. Courtney and Ms. Michelle (Preschool 1), have been wonderful with her. They're patient, caring, and always doing what's in the best interest of my daughter. She loves her teachers, and is happy to be there because of the environment they create. I also have to give a special shout-out to them for potty training, they're champs! As a bonus, on the days my daughter stays late, she gets to see a prior teacher she also adores, Ms. Mikia (Preppers). It really comes down to the people, and knowing my daughter is with staff that makes sure she's in a healthy environment is everything! Thanks TLE for all you do!

They are amazing all the teachers do their best for your child. I love how they are warm and welcoming!!

TLE in Gurnee has been an amazing, welcoming, and trustworthy daycare for our little one over the past year. Starting at just under 5 months old, the teachers in the infant classroom are amazing. Lucy and Ann, thank you for taking care of our little one. As he grew, he advanced to a few other rooms, all with excellent experiences. All of the teachers and staff at TLE are great and our little guy now comes home singing songs and dancing along. It's great! We look forward to continuing his time at TLE and more memories to come.

It is a safe place where I can leave my daughter with the assurance that she is well taken care of, her teachers are very patient and dedicated to their work. Ladies of the Preppers classroom, thank you for your help in caring for and learning my daughter. Miss Kristin and Casie for the smile and good resivement every morning, Miss Jess for becoming part of making my daughter feel safe inside the school.

I want to come back and write a review because my daughter has been going to this daycare for almost 2 years now and I can truly say that she’s had such amazing teachers and I always feel so welcomed and feels so good knowing that she is in good hands I have a good relationship with most of the teachers and staff and I know Kaylee is learning so much. She just transferred to the P1 class and is working out so well for her we love Ms Courtney and Ms Michelle they are so passionate with their role as teachers and they show their love and support everyday. I walk in knowing that I will hear a positive feedback on how Kaylees day was . I know if my child is going well loved by bubbles and friends staff then all the children are . I will always continue to support the school and refer new friends

I am grateful to the Learning experience for making it a great learning experience for my 5 year old. Ms Breanna has been a huge help in making my child feel comfortable and come out of her shell. Ms Breanna took interest in understanding my daughter’s needs and applied all the necessary tools to help my daughter communicate freely with her. My daughter loves her so much that even on the weekends she asks us if we can meet Ms Breanna :) She is an excellent teacher and a remarkable human being.

This is my first time using a daycare as I have always had reservations about sending my kids off to be with strangers. After touring multiple daycares in the area, we settled on TLE based on their reviews, what they offer academically, and the experience I had during the tour. From their professionalism, to the cleanliness of the classrooms and their overall processes, it was an easy choice to make. I love the amount of dedication this facility has for their children. Everyone is very welcoming and attentive. I was really nervous about sending my 2 month old baby to daycare but I can honestly say Mrs. Anne in the infant room has truly put my mind at ease. She is so attentive, she makes us feel super comfortable and communicates very well. I can truly trust that my baby is in good and capable hands. Mrs. Anne is very experienced and very caring. Not to mention my daughter is obsessed with Mrs. Anne and we can tell that she enjoys her time at TLE. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we just appreciate the entire staff. Especially Mrs Anne, there is so much more to say about her but to sum it up, Mrs Anne is truly a VERY valuable asset to TLE.

This place is great! As a first-time mom, I was nervous to send my little one anywhere! TLE has been such a blessing! Shout out to Ms. Ann, Ms. Lucy, Ms. Angela, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Kiki. They take such good care of my baby and make me feel at ease. My husband and I are very appreciative to have found TLE!

We have been very happy with The Learning Experience-Gurnee. The directors are great and the teachers the kids have had there are outstanding! It’s very clean and have great activities in the summer session. Thanks to all the staff for taking care of the kids.

Ms. Juliana, Ms. Marissa, and Ms. Courtney have been amazing!!! They make the day go by fast for my little one and have always been extra vigilant in making sure us the parents are comfortable and that our son is as well!! Our son has formed amazing relationships and always tells me good things about these teachers when he comes home. Ms Stephanie is his new teacher now and I have noticed a good relationship forming there as well.

I have to say that The Learning Experience is doing a phenomenal job all the way around!! Thanks to ALL the teachers our little one has grown leaps & bounds! In recognition of World Teacher's Day I want to give a special shout out to Ms. Stephanie in P3 for challenging her students in becoming world class learners. I absolutely love everything about the new curriculum this year including the added homework assignments.

My daughter has been going to this daycare for almost one year and i can truly say it's been the best decision. I am so grateful to know so many amazing awesome teachers that have interacted with my daughter and taught her many new skills. I do want to shout out to Ms. Breanna in the preppers room. She has the biggest heart and has so much patience. She always has a smile on her face, and always reminds me that my daughter is in good hands. She takes her time to let me know how her day was, and always fills me in on different events or encourages me on different way to work on things at home with my daughter . I feel so happy to know my daughter is being taken care everyday. We love the learning experience and will recommend it to everyone

Ms. Courtney, Ms. Hailey, and Ms. Breanna are absolutely wonderful. If you are like me and work full time this is the only facility I recommend. Your child is guaranteed to learn new things daily, and not want to leave.

We've been going to TLE for over 2 years and have had a great experience. Never any safety concerns, my daughter loves going and good communication. They helped us potty train and it was a smooth experience. Ms. Marissa is always so kind and tells me about her day. I love that her previous teachers stay in her life and check in on her. Ms. Sarah always says hello even though she hasn't had her in a year and Ms. Jess always talks with her like she's still her teacher. They send things home about what the kids are learning so we can do things at home. We look forward to more years with them.

My family and I love TLE-Gurnee. As a transplant from the city, we were in search of a day care that checks all of our needs. TLE has it all! Safety is a top priority for us and TLE-Gurnee is has that all!

We are so incredibly thankful for the team at The Learning Experience—Gurnee! Our daughter has a medical condition that required her to wear a hip brace from 3 months-7 months and then she was in a spica cast from 7 months-10 months and the staff handled everything amazingly! They worked with us and were so supportive through the process. We love getting the updates on her day and know that she is well taken care of by the amazing teachers! We highly recommend The Learning Experience—Gurnee!

This place is awesome, my boys love it. Their teachers (Ms.Courtney, Ms. Natalie, Ms.Monique, Ms. Kimmy, Ms. Zhara) are very caring and inclusive to my boy's interest. My youngest just moved out of the toddler class and loved his teachers in there also. (Ms.Eniko, Ms. Angelita, Ms. Jessica)
