Choosing the right preschool for your child is one of the hardest decisions a parent can make. Before joining The Learning Experience (TLE) in Hilliard, we were coming from a center where we had growing concerns about communication, safety, and our daughter’s development. We knew we needed a change, and after touring multiple centers, nothing felt like the right fit — until we visited The Learning Experience a year ago.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Ms. Savannah, who was warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to show us the center. Seeing her pride in the classrooms and the environment immediately reassured us. The center itself was bright, clean, organized, and full of vibrant colors and engaging activities. Our daughter was instantly drawn to the classrooms and the outdoor play area. We felt at home right away and committed that same day — even before officially unenrolling from her previous preschool.
Since joining TLE Hilliard, we couldn’t be happier. Our daughter is safe, supported, and truly learning every day. The teachers and staff use the proprietary L.E.A.P. curriculum, which has helped her grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The preschool integrates early math, literacy, and social skills in ways that keep her excited to learn. She also gets hands-on STEM experiences that she talks about at home constantly. The difference in her confidence and curiosity has been remarkable.
Ms. Akasi, the owner, is wonderful. Her love for the children and respect for her staff show in everything she does. We always feel heard, informed, and welcomed. Communication is consistent, and the center is always clean, safe, and thoughtfully run. We walk in every morning feeling at ease knowing our daughter is genuinely cared for. Our daughter will be starting Kindergarten this year, and we feel she is more than ready thanks to the strong foundation TLE has given her. The summer program is also fantastic — engaging, fun, and full of learning opportunities. We love the TLE characters, the photo slides on the TVs, and all the little touches that make the center cheerful and inviting. We also appreciate their partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which shows their commitment to giving back.
In just one year, we’ve not only found a preschool we trust, but we’ve also made meaningful friendships with other families — relationships we will carry with us long after preschool ends.
If you’re a parent searching for the right daycare or learning center, we highly recommend starting with The Learning Experience in Hilliard. It has truly been the best decision for our daughter and our family.
Thank you to everyone at TLE Hilliard. The Geis Family appreciates you more than you know.
