Our Caring & Experienced Staff

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

Caitlin S.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about TLE - Manasquan. Both of my children attend, and we have had such a positive experience. I especially want to highlight the infant room, where my son is cared for by the amazing Ms. Angie. She is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and it is clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for the babies. Knowing that my son is in such good hands every day gives me so much peace of mind. My older son is in the Preppers room with Ms. Caitlin and Ms. Kelsey, and they have been incredible in helping him transition to a new daycare. Their support, patience, and encouragement made all the difference in making him feel comfortable and excited to go each day. The facility is clean, safe, and well-organized. I love how they communicate with parents and keep us updated on our children's daily activities. If you're looking for a trustworthy daycare, I highly recommend TLE!

My son attends The Learning Experience in Manasquan, and I can't say enough wonderful things about his teacher, Ms. Deja. From the moment I drop him off each day, I feel completely at ease knowing he is in her loving and caring hands. She radiates kindness, joy, and positivity, creating a warm and happy environment for all the children. Her patience is truly remarkable, and she approaches every child with understanding and compassion. Ms. Deja’s genuine love for her students shines through in everything she does. I also want to share how much we appreciate the girls at the front desk. They are always so sweet, kind, and welcoming. Every morning when my son and I walk in, they greet us with big smiles and so much happiness, making him feel truly loved. Their warmth and positivity set such a wonderful tone for the day, and we are so thankful for all that they do. We are beyond lucky to have such amazing people caring for our son, and I wholeheartedly recommend The Learning Experience in Manasquan!

We have been so happy with our experience at TLE manasquan! Our son first started in Ms. Kelsey and Ms. Caitlin’s class and they made it the most seamless transition for our little guy who was just starting day care after being home for two years. Now he is in Ms. Annemarie and Ms. Gina’s class and they are amazing! He loves going to school every day because of them!

My daughter has been going to TLE in manasquan now for about 6 months- as a first time mom I was extremely nervous about sending my daughter to daycare. She started in the infant room at around 6 months old with Ms Angie and I could not be happier that she did. Ms Angie looked after my daughter like she was her own and made me feel so comfortable with dropping her off there each day. It’s so nerve wracking leaving your child in the care of others hoping that they’ll give them the same love and attention that you do and I can say for a fact that Ms Angie has done that for my daughter. My daughter has recently transitioned out of the infant room and Ms Angie still makes the effort to see my daughter when she can. Everyone at TLE manasquan has been amazing thus far as well (shout out to the girls up front as well who are always so friendly and welcoming) and I can’t wait to watch my daughter grow there!

Our daughters have been attending this TLE for nearly 2 years now and it’s a great place. The staff is so caring and really take the time to get to know the families. Everyone we’ve interacted with is amazing but these fantastic people are some of the standouts: Angie in the infant room is such a welcoming presence during those first days dropping your baby off. Our daughter took to her right away and as we got to know her, we saw why. Caity is also an integral part of the team and she's sooooo loving with the babies. I was never anxious about leaving my baby with them and they always gave amazing feedback on how our daughter was developing and if they noticed any changes in her habits or demeanor. Even though our daughter graduated to the toddler room, Angie always says hi and catches up with our daughter when she can. Ashley and Riley are a great transition into the toddler rooms. They are organized and keep the room light and fun. I don’t know when they find the time but they always have a cute hallway board set up with updated photos so we can see what the kids are up to. Our 1 year old is having a blast and learning so much there. Jenna is another amazing toddler teacher. She effortlessly keeps her calm and is always smiling. She gives great updates on the kids each day at pick up so I know she’s got her eye on the details as they’re growing. Kelsey and Caitlin in the prepper/preschool room are so successful at rallying the three-nagers, keep up with a curriculum, and make sure the kids have fun! Their projects for holidays are also so creative! Our 3 year old has started coming out of her shell under their direction. I don’t think the front desk gets enough credit. Julia and Aga are great and often our first contact each morning at drop off. They keep things running smoothly and the fact that they know all the parents/guardians makes me feel confident they are stopping anyone who doesn’t look familiar.

Safety & Peace of Mind

Manasquan families consistently report feeling secure about the supervision, entry protocols, and overall safety standards at our Center.

Lauren H.

Our son, now over 2, has attended daycare at TLE Manasquan since just before he turned 1. I was initially quite against the idea of daycare in general, as he is my first and it's a big deal. I am glad to say I have been so pleasantly surprised with just how great daycare has turned out to be. The staff is extremely friendly and loving. Multiple times per week at pickup Ms. Aga and Ms. Julia at the front desk have a story to share about something funny/cute/surprising my son did/said that day. It's evident they spend a lot of time with the kids and know them well, even though they're not "in" any of classrooms. It's commonplace to see them helping out with a child who is having a rough day or not feeling well. By far the most surprising and delightful thing about daycare is the relationships that my son has formed. To see how much he loves (and is loved by) his teachers, especially his bond with Ms. Deja, has been so wonderful to experience. Now as I'm having my second, we no longer need daycare and I can't believe that I have come so far as to say that I am actually finding it bittersweet! We are keeping our fingers crossed that they will have space available when we need care for our second in the future!

Christine H.

I can't say enough amazing things about TLE Manasquan. We previously had a nanny, so I was sure the transition to daycare would be a huge adjustment for our daughter and for us. I was skeptical and worried… but I am shocked by how much she loves it, how much we love it, and how quickly she’s learning and developing. TLE has given me the one thing you can’t buy: peace of mind. From the moment we walk in, Ms. Julia and Ms. Aga at the front desk make us feel so welcomed and cared for. My daughter talks about them at home, says goodnight to them at night, and cannot wait to see them in the morning. Her teachers (Ms. Rin, Ms. Jenna, and Ms. Sam) are warm, soft, patient, and incredibly kind. I genuinely don’t know how they do what they do, but I’m so grateful that they do. They’ve created such a loving, safe environment for my daughter to thrive. I am so thankful we found the right place for us. They put us at ease in a way I didn’t think was possible.

Julia

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to bring our baby to TLE. The infant room teachers made us feel more than comfortable leaving our new baby with them and the love and attention they showed him was amazing. Our son walked in everyday with a smile on his face and was welcomed into the room with smiling faces as well!

John

From our first experience, TLE Manasquan accommodated my son and our family in every way. Through challenging times, they helped our son's learning experience to carry on for the sake of having him continue his education. Their values and standards are upheld and delivered daily. They have been supportive and always have generosity of spirit and charity to assist and support. My wife and I are grateful and appreciative to all the staff at TLE Manasquan.

Mary

My husband and I are first time parents and we were very anxious about enrolling our daughter at daycare after parental leave ended. We are beyond happy that we found TLE at Manasquan. The teachers are wonderful and caring and my daughter seems to be thriving. I love getting picture updates throughout the day, and feel great knowing that I can continue working and my daughter will be taken care of at the same time. She's happy to be dropped off and happy to be picked up, it's a win-win! I would recommend this daycare to anyone.

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

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

Stephanie

Our son Gavin had a fabulous experience at TLE. It was truly a home away from home. Every teacher knew my son and greeted him with the biggest smiles each day. Mrs. Mary is such a wonderful educator. She exhibited everything a parent could wish for in a teacher. Kindness, patience, creativity, and passion. I was blown away with how well my son can read at such a young age. I will always recommend TLE Manasquan to everyone!

Diane

Our 2.5 year old started here at Manasquan TLE when they first opened and we have been so incredibly happy ever since! They go above and beyond to care for our girls. Our now 8 month old also started this year and she is absolutely loving it as well. The staff is amazing, helpful, and kind. The director Elaine and owner Krystyn are both such pleasures to work with. I couldn't imagine my girls going anywhere else. I just cannot recommend this center enough!

Heather

We have been with TLE Manasquan since the year they opened and we love it. Its so clean, safe, and the staff are always so kind and caring for the kids. I know its not an easy job and has been tough this past year, but they helped keep us involved as much as possible. My sons education is well above the standard and secretly glad we got waitlisted for public preschool so he can continue. We will also be sending our youngest there in the coming months. Thank you to Krystyn and all the teachers for making us always feel like family here.

Sara

After touring various locations, The Learning Experience in Manasquan was the best preschool option for both my children. I was confident in their handling of the ever changing covid regulations and value the importance they put on health and safety. The teachers are caring, engaging, and my kids LOVE going to school. My oldest is off to kindergarten now and I know he is prepared academically and socially. My youngest was home with me this summer but is looking forward to returning to her preschool class and seeing her teachers and friends again!

Yesenia

Our family is so happy and grateful to the entire TLE Manasquan team! Our daughter started toddler daycare about five months ago. Being first time parents and having experienced a crazy pandemic year, placing her in daycare was a tough decision. However, not only did TLE meet our expectations, but they exceeded them! From welcoming our daughter as if she had been part of the family for years, to providing a very safe and clean environment… and everything in between. Since she's attended, her social skills, vocabulary, personality, and intelligence have expanded astronomically! And I know we have everyone here to thank for that. She loves her teachers and all her friends and we couldn't be happier with this experience overall! Thank you so much to everyone, especially the teachers who love on her all day the way we would at home.

TLE has been the BEST learning experience for my daughter she always looks forward to going. And we're proud of her and grateful to the staff for teaching her colors and numbers to helping and sharing. Its always exciting to see what she will bring home. We love this school and you will too!

Raven

I genuinely love TLE in Manasquan. The moment I walked through the doors I fell in love with it. When we did the walkthrough my son didn't want to leave & I knew it was somewhere he wanted to be(which is rare) . I also love the way they compliment my kids every time I pick them up & drop them off. Thank You TLE!

Tom

My two daughters have been going here for over one year, and have been teaching me sign language and Spanish. All the staff go above and beyond. 5 Stars.

Jessie

TLE Manasquan is our first formal daycare experience after having family and friends watch our son until he was a little older than a year. I cannot say enough great things about this place. He is so excited to go to “school” every day. The teachers and staff are kind and we truly feel 100% comfortable having him spend his weekdays there. We love getting updates and pictures on the app throughout the day, it helps you understand your child's schedule and the activities they're doing. I will recommend TLE Manasquan to everyone who has a baby!!!

Jasmin

I would absolutely recommend the Learning Experience in Manasquan. From the moment we took the tour with Krystyn we knew this was the place for our family. Adonis loves going to “school” everyday. We are always greeted by Miss Kaitlyn and she is so sweet and pleasant. The communication between the staff and parents is exceptional. I love the pictures that are sent throughout the day in the app. It really does make me happy to see the different activities and how much fun they have daily.

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

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

Danielle

My son Jake has been going to TLE in Manasquan for almost a year. I cannot say enough about the caring staff and professionalism of everyone that works there . Ms. Sarah and Ms. Aga are his two teachers and they have done an outstanding job with Jake, has they help foster his growth and make him feel loved and cared for when he is at school. Thank you for giving me piece of mind when Jake is at school and making it such a fun environment for him!

Emily

We started our 18 month old, Maddox at TLE in October and from the moment I went on the tour I was so impressed by the curriculum, cleanliness, and the warm welcome we were greeted with by the owner Krystyn & Director Elaine. In the 3 months our son has been attending we have watched him learn so much, start talking, recognizing shapes and so much more. Every day he is so excited to go to school he waits by the door! The entire staff, especially Ms. Kayla who is one of his teachers, are absolutely amazing and take such great care of our little one. This was our first time sending him into a learning environment and it was the best decision we've made. Thank you all!!

Emily

We absolutely love TLE at Manasquan, from the moment we went on our tour. Krystyn made me feel so much at ease being a first time mom who was a stay at home mom until we enrolled him at 19 months. All of the TLE staff is amazing, and our son has thrived with his talking, eating, and just absolutely loves it. I can't thank everyone enough for all the thought and care you put into your work and how you care for our children as if they were your own. Thank you!!!!!!

Meg

We moved here during the pandemic and the TLE Manasquan staff have been nothing short of amazing. Welcoming, nurturing, communicative and really helping our daughter (toddler) not only adjust but thrive. Krystyn and her team are great. Ms. Dwayla and Ms. Jessica are wonderful with her... Parent teacher conferences over FaceTime, great email updates, monthly menus, art and outside playing are just some of the wonderful things we have enjoyed at TLE Manasquan!

Jestine

We love TLE manasquan! Our son had never left family until this year, and we were worried about his transition. Everyone was so supportive of both me (and all my check ins) and my son who had a hard start. Within three drop offs, he was excited and happy to go see his friends. I am SO IMPRESSED by all of the details that go into the planning and curriculum for our 3 year old. Our son loved playing “the name game” with his classmates at the start of the program. That may seem like a minor detail but many kids leave a school day not actually getting to know names of their classmates. TLE makes sure the kids all truly feel like friends. It is the best choice and we are so happy!

Christina

My 5 year old came here during the pandemic. I am an essential worker for Hackensack Meridian and this facility has been accommodating. I have switched from my previous daycare because of the great learning, great teachers and center's leaders. The facility is beautiful and the owners are beyond helpful and caring. Thank you TLE Manasquan!

Tara

My daughters (2.5 and 3.5) have been attending the TLE Manasquan facility since the beginning of the pandemic. What I thought would be a very hard transition for them from their other daycare was completely seamless. Krystyn, the owner, and Amy, the Director, are both so nice, super informative and easy to get in touch with. My girls also LOVE their teachers, Ms. Kaitlyn and Ms. Rosie. They made my girls feel right at home from their first day there and made everything SO much fun that the girls now ask me if they can go to school on the weekends!!! We love TLE Manasquan so much we've decided to keep our girls there even post-pandemic. We couldn't be happier with the level of care and service they provide!

Danielle

I enrolled my son Theo at TLE Manasquan in September. We have had such an amazing experience learning and growing! Theo loves seeing his friends there and in the 6 months that he has been there, he has learned more than he ever had enrolled in a different daycare. I am so impressed with his ability to recognize letters, which is a testament to the teaching and administrative staff at the center. I couldn't be more thrilled!
