Our Caring & Experienced Staff

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

Mish B.

TLE Hopewell offers a caring and attentive staff, a clean and well-maintained facility, and a well-rounded educational program that balances structured learning with free play. My child's teacher, Ms. Kumba, is particularly wonderful--her dedication and warmth make a noticeable difference in my child's experience. The open communication with parents and the nutritious meals provided are additional highlights. The cost is reasonable for the quality of care and services provided, making it a great value. I highly recommend TLE Hopewell for any parent seeking a safe and nurturing environment for their child.

TLE has such a clean environment, great education, a loving atmosphere, dedicated staff, and committed teachers. Both my son and daughter have been at the center since they were infants. My son is now 5 years old, and he just graduated. My daughter is now 17 months old; she loves Ms. Cheralin, Ms. Sameera, Ms. Kay, and Ms. Jessica. My son also loves Ms. Sheri. and talks a lot about how helpful she is to him.

The atmosphere is incredibly warm and welcoming. The staff make you feel comfortable when you enter and exit the daycare. His teacher, Ms. Kumba, is not only skilled but also genuinely caring. I've observed how well she tailors activities to each child's needs, fostering a personalized learning experience. The classroom is organized and filled with educational resources. I appreciate the regular updates and communication about my child's daily activities. It's evident that Ms. Kumba is dedicated to creating a positive and enriching environment for the children in this specific classroom.

I can't begin to say how wonderful our experience has been at TLE Hopewell! The staff is the best!! They truly care about the kids and the curriculum taught is amazing. We moved out of the area three years ago and still drive our son there every day because I could fathom bringing him anywhere else. Our family has had experiences in all of the rooms there - Infant A to Pre-K/K and all have been great!

We originally had my oldest child in in-home care. However, I noticed that she was being lost in the mix there. The older kids were bullying her and the caretaker didn't seem to realize what was going on. From a recommendation of a friend, I checked out TLE Hopewell and I am SO GLAD I DID! My daughter is a graduate of TLE - My son is still in Pre-K there. When my daughter started Kindergarten, she told me that she was bored at school because she learned everything at TLE! My son - who is 4 - regularly tells me things he has learned at school...some of which I have had to google!! When I ask him how he knew that, he always tells me "Miss Cookie taught me!" The staff at TLE are second to none. We haven't had a bad experience in any of the rooms (and we've been in all of them!!) Don't think twice about bringing your child here!

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

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

Our daughter has been enrolled at TLE Hopewell on a fulltime basis for a year. We wanted her to get used to the “classroom setting” prior to starting kindergarten and we could not be happier! In the beginning we had some concerns that she would not “fit in” since she was used to a much smaller group. Ms. Monica, the Director, immediately put our minds to ease and have showed us that our daughter is in great hands and that we made the right decision when deciding on TLE Hopewell. Ms. Monica is always taking the time to listen or address any requests that we may have, and she does it with a smile! TLE has also found a true gem in Ms. Georgina, our daughters main teacher. She is an amazing educator, not only warm and caring but also very dedicated to making sure the children in her classroom gain independence and learn to be respectful to others. President Abraham Lincoln said "Teach the children so that it will not be necessary to teach the adults" and I think Ms. Georgina and TLE lives by this motto! We have watched our daughter grow and learn so much during this past year, all while having fun! My biggest regret is that I didn't have my daughter start at TLE earlier – it is truly an amazing “home away from home” when mom & dad are working. We may not say it enough but please know that your loving care and hard work is greatly appreciated by our Family. The Dylik Family

My husband and I could not be happier with Hopewell TLE. Our son started in Infant-A when he was 3 months old and will be turning 1 this July. This is our first experience with a day-care center and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the staff. Monica, TLE's Director, has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and answer every single question and take care of every single one of my concerns. The amount of care that she puts into the school and the staff is reflected in every corner of the center. They have met and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend TLE to anyone in a heartbeat!

Its been 6 months now that Sid has been enrolled at the hopewell TLE and its been a great change for us, and we can see the difference from the previous daycare.....we are so glad we changed to TLE. The staff is great , would specially want to appreciate the infant room staff , who leave no stone unturned to make both the child and the parents feel comfortable and are so amazingly lovable ....the admin Ms Monica, at this TLE is very supportive and always listens to the issues ,if any that we have and always looks that the concern is taken care of. The one thing that stays back with you is her smile ,that assures us that we have our kids in safe loving hands. i am so relieved and stress free leaving my child here. I would like to thank and extend my appreciation to the admin and staff for being a friendly and loving group .we absolutely love it!! Thank you

My little brother goes to TLE. He is learning Mandarin and so am I in high school. Soon he will know as much as I do and we can talk to each other without our parents knowing what we are saying. I can't wait for us to have our own language. TLE Hopewell is awesome!

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

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

Michele W.

I was very weary about dropping my son off with strangers the first day. The staff was very understanding and warm. My son didn't want to leave my side. The teachers were wonderful helping both of us through this transition. Now he loves going. He loves his teachers and misses them on the weekends. I would recommend this school to anyone I know, and I do. TLE of Pennington is a very loving and nurturing environment as well as a fabulous learning facility.

Mike W.

Our son has been at TLE Hopewell for about a year and a half now and we are more than happy with every aspect! The teachers are terrific and the staff is great. Ms. Shari and Ms. Jessica take care of Cole like he is their own child. He has learned so much in the short amount of time he has been there. He's going to go into kindergarten well ahead of his other classmates. Ms. Monica and Ms. Loraine run the school like a well oiled machine. Thank you to all the TLE Hopewell staff, faculty and owners for all that you have done!

One of the best decisions we have ever made!! Our local work community expeirenced changes that pushed us to consider a new daycare. I visted TLE and instantly felt that I had found a new "home". The curriculum, emersion programs and commitment to learning was impressive; but what really made our decision was the franchise owners commitement to the children (both personally and educationally), the teachers' smiles --expressing their love for what they they do, attention to every child and their individual needs, and the director/associate director's unconditional love for every single child (and their parents). This gave us comfort that we were leaving our children in an environment where they would truly be "cared for" in so many ways. And, it made us so comfortable, we brought 5 to 6 families with us! TLE Hopewell and and TLE as an organization sets the bar very high!

My son, Jacob started at TLE one day after his third birthday. He will graduate from the per-K/K classroom this month. The staff at TLE has been so warm, loving and nurturing from day one. Jacob is excited about learning and can't wait to tell anyone he meets stories about what he is learning in school. While TLE incorporates a strong curriculum, students are encouraged to foster friendships with their peers and in doing so have taught the children to be kind, courteous and social young people. As a high school teacher myself, I understand the importance of a solid foundation for academic and social success.
