They keep us updated the whole day with the program by sending notes and pictures. Also you call or text me without hesitation they are always available to respond. Misses Akasi the owner is so sweet and lovely and gives you good vibes, Misses Savannah is helpful and very friendly and of course a big thanks to Miss Natalie greeting us and she’s so attentive with the kiddos that they enjoy to learn new things every day and adapting them. TLE is amazing..

We started with TLE Hilliard just this week & having a very positive experience so far. We had originally planned to send our 2 year old son here beginning in January, but we were so excited during the tour we decided to bring him in earlier. This is his third daycare that he's been to, and we can say for sure, that this is our favorite and hopefully the one he remains in! I love multiple things about TLE - the administration are very welcoming and communicative, their app is perfect for knowing what my son does all day (as well as multiple pictures), the curriculum gives him so much structure (he comes home singing "hey hey, circle time", and the teachers are very friendly and hands on with the kids. My favorite thing about this place is the approach of a daycare-teacher-parent partnership and how we can all work together to help my son grow. It makes me confident that I am not simply sending him to be "babysat" but rather, a place that really teaches and challenges him - but is still a fun place that he looks forward to going to. An example of this growth: While he speaks Arabic primarily at home, he is coming home learning more and more words/sentences in English, and is even translating for us. I'm baffled that he is able to do that in a short period of time and really excited to see how his time at TLE continues to help with his growth and development as he gets older.

The Learning Experience in Hilliard, what a breath of fresh air! We toured this brand new facility because we were looking for a safe but fun learning environment for my sister’s 3 year old twins.My sister was nervous because she had just moved them from a different school and was worried about their well being.We were blown away by what we discovered in this school.We were pleasantly surprised by the absolute perfect world we found for kids.Everything is tailored to the wellbeing of the child; from the warm and wonderful staff, top notch curriculum to the state of the art amenities.I love this school, the whole place just makes you happy, very nostalgic.Needless to say that we signed my niece and nephew up the same day. I’m happy to announce that they are thriving and look forward to going to school every day including the weekends, if they could. I encourage you to enroll your child in this place. You will not regret it. I have seen tremendous growth in my niece and nephew within this short period that they started attending TLE, Hilliard. Their vocabulary has increased, and they can hold full conversations. I love to see them this confident.They are maturing socially, and I credit this school for being intentional with each child. My sister is extremely happy and at peace. I am content.

As both a franchise owner and a parent with children enrolled at The Learning Experience (TLE)-Hilliard, I can confidently say that this organization exceeds expectations in every way. My kids absolutely love coming here, and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown—both socially and academically—since starting at TLE. From a business perspective, TLE provides comprehensive support, a well-structured curriculum, and a positive work culture, which is why I was drawn to opening a franchise in the first place. But as a mom, it’s the nurturing environment and the dedicated teachers that truly set TLE apart. The staff genuinely care about each child’s well-being and development, and that personal touch makes all the difference. The classrooms are well-equipped with engaging, age-appropriate materials, and the educational programs are designed to be fun while fostering early learning skills. My kids come home excited about what they've learned, and it’s clear that the blend of structured activities and playtime is keeping them engaged and eager to learn. I also appreciate the communication between the teachers and parents. I get regular updates about my children’s progress, milestones, and even the fun activities they participate in each day. Knowing that they’re in a safe, caring environment gives me peace of mind as both a business owner and a parent. Overall, TLE has created a wonderful community for our family, and I couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. I highly recommend TLE to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching early childhood education experience!
