I just want to start by saying thank you so much to the TLE Hell's Kitchen admin and teachers. From the moment I walked through those doors, they have been nothing but warm and inviting.

I cannot express how much the learning experience at Hell’s Kitchen has meant to me during my time here. Working with such a loving, supportive team and being part of the children’s growth and learning has truly been a privilege. Watching their little milestones and seeing their smiles every day has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The staff here are absolutely incredible—dedicated, kind, and always putting the children first. The families here are just as wonderful, making this such a special community to be part of. Leaving this amazing place is bittersweet, as I’m moving and will dearly miss everyone here. I’m so grateful for all the memories, the laughter, and the connections I’ve made along the way. Maria and Shay you guys are amazing! Thank you to everyone who made my time here unforgettable.
The teachers and staff are great with my son. He gets a lot of attention and is happy to attend! The price could be better or more flexible like allowing a vacation week without paying.

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation
One of the most common reasons families choose The Learning Experience New York is our whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness.
So far this has been an absolutely amazing experience for us. The first time we met The Learning Experience team, we knew then and there this is the right choice. My daughter is one years old and after her first week of attending The Learning Experience, we notice a huge improvement in her development! I will recommend this daycare to all parents! Definitely 5 stars ?
I’m so happy! My daughter has made a lot of progress. Thank you for all the care for my daughter, she is already going to the bathroom, the teachers and the staff that work here are wonderful. I feel to my daughter so happy like me… Thanks
WE LOVE it here-thank you! I truly cannot say enough about your teachers, staff and the amazing experience my daughter, Aria, has had the TLE in Hell's Kitchen. We feel so lucky to have had such an incredible experience throughout our entire time at TLE. Every single interaction with all of your amazing teachers and staff has been warm, kind and welcoming- from the moment we walked in for our first tour when Aria was 1 to our last day at TLE. Aria began in the toddlers room with Ms.Lay (THANK YOU
I am absolutely thrilled with my decision to have my daughter attend this location. Every teacher has demonstrated a true passion for their work, creating an environment filled with constant smiles and positive energy. In just three months, my daughter has learned so much—she’s not only beginning to speak, but also learning sign language. Maria, in particular, is incredibly compassionate and caring. I feel completely at ease knowing that, even amidst the chaos of New York, my daughter is safe and well-cared for in a place I trust. It’s clear that this program is not only helping her thrive but also ensuring her happiness.

As Hayden's first teacher, Ms. Genesis has been a stable presence since the beginning of his Twaddlers adventure. As evidenced by the daily pictures, Hayden has been happy, stimulated, and well taken-care of under her leadership. We are grateful that he is in the care of someone that has wanted to get to know him and that cares about him!
Our family is so pleased with TLE. Emma is so excited to go to school every day and see her friends. She loves all her teachers and cannot stop talking about Gigi.
From the moment you walk inside, TLE Hells Kitchen feels like home. Staff members feel like family and foster an environment of care, comfort and security. The teachers' responsiveness to my goals for my daughter and their attentiveness to her needs, has helped my 3 year old thrive both academically and social emotionally. The curriculum does a great job of providing multiple learning experiences throughout the day and it helps that she has great teachers, Ms. Anwar and Ms.Celine, to implement it. My daughter really enjoys learning Spanish and playing soccer, as they provide even more enrichment opportunities throughout the day. A great big thank you to Ms. Jarranda and Mr. Mark for all that they are doing for my daughter, as well as all of the children at TLE Hells Kitchen.
I can not believe how happy my kid was when I picked him up from Hell's Kitchen TLE. He was excited to tell me in baby words about his day. He is looking forward to going back, tomorrow! Such a change from other daycares. It a real find!! I highly recommend them. Heather Spillane
