Choosing TLE Newington was the best decision for my family. I rave about it often to other parents who are struggling with choosing a center! We’re seeing so much growth in our child’s social and academic skills since starting. The administration team is wonderful, and the whole center feels like a family. Thank you, TLE!

The Learning Experience - Newington • Fri, May 22 2026 at 4:58 PM (America/New_York) Being a first time mom, choosing the right daycare was very overwhelming. Initially we had our daughter in another program, that we chose based on the reviews, convenience, referrals from other parents, price, & overall comfortability from the short interaction you have prior to making a decision. Once we started, that feeling changed almost immediately. The warm smiles were no longer there, the care and reassurance we were given during our initial interactions faded. Within the first week, my gut was telling me to get her out. A friend mentioned that she was considering touring the Learning Experience right around that same time. I knew I needed to find a new place quickly due to being back at work & wasn’t sure where to start because I thought I had already looked everywhere that was in our price range and that got “good reviews”. I am so glad she recommended we look at The Learning Experience & I can only wish we had looked sooner. From the moment I walked in the door, the feeling of comfort was almost immediate. It’s like they knew, I needed to feel like my baby would be safe here, & not only just feel safe but actually be safe. You can tell that Allison & Patricia truly care about the way they are interacting with each family, their employees, & the communication and responsiveness is night and day compared to the other place we were, in the best way. We have only been there since April and so far we are so happy with the experience. In the infant room, Ms. Natalia & the other teachers are so kind and you can tell they work really hard to make sure the kids are learning, interacting, & taken good care of. As a parent, it is one of the hardest things to trust essentially a stranger with your baby after only knowing them for a brief time, but I can honestly say I have peace of mind bringing my baby there. As a bonus, they also have an option to pay semi-monthly which is a huge help to align with our paychecks. Could not recommend The Learning Experience more.

Miss Dalia is an exceptional and professional educator. She is well planned and follows the Learning Experience curriculum masterfully. She devotes significant time to tailor lessons and activities to the student’s interests as well as what’s developmentally appropriate. She is truly a Master Teacher. My son started with Miss Dalia at 18 months with a limited vocabulary. Within a few weeks he was talking up a storm and at age 2 now speaks in complete sentences and can hold a conversation. Miss Dalia has a unique ability to assess each child’s personal interests and differentiate their instruction accordingly. Her current class has a mix of students that are verbal and some that hardly speak. She recognizes their strengths and areas needing improvement and moves them along academically. I noticed the growth of all the students when I am in her class, not just my own child. My son looks forward to going to school every day because he knows the activities on the day’s agenda will be fun and engaging. Miss Dalia is so much more than just a teacher or care giver of her students. She LOVES every child that steps into her classroom. My son sees her as an extension of me during the day and knows he can go to her for encouragement, a laugh, support and comfort. While I appreciate the academic strides my son has made over the last 7+ months due to the quality of teaching by Miss Dalia, the deep connection and love she has with my son makes her a special individual. I will forever be grateful for the afternoon she stayed over 30 minutes late, sitting on the floor comforting my son who was sick as they waited for me to arrive. A teacher’s job is to keep children safe and stimulate them along the way. I never imagined my son would get a teacher who would go well above and beyond those criteria. I could go on and on about every educational milestone my son has achieved in his time with Miss Dalia, and they are plentiful, but the true testament of her excellence is the way my son (as well as every other student in her classroom) enjoys going to school and talks about her because he genuinely loves her. She deserves every possible accolade and recognition that is available. Laurie Privitera

We could not be happier with our experience at The Learning Experience in Newington. Our twin daughters have been attending since they were just 4 months old and are now thriving in the preschool program. Watching their growth over the past few years has been truly incredible, particularly under their current teachers Ms. Lia and Ms. Kiara. They have absolutely flourished in this setting and genuinely love going every single day. All of the teachers are exceptionally strong, skilled, and caring. Not only in terms of learning, but the love my girls receive from every single teacher is nothing short of fantastic. They are deeply invested in each child's development and well-being. The skill building that happens here is impressive, with a wide range of creative, engaging, and developmentally appropriate activities that keep the children excited and wanting to participate. My girls come home daily with another project that they created at school and the sense of pride on their face is amazing. Over the past year especially, we have seen many positive changes that have made an already great program even better. Communication, organization, and programming have all improved drastically with the director, Ms. Allison. Check-in and drop-off are seamless and stress-free on the school's end, which makes a huge difference for us. My girls take forever to leave because they need to make sure they say goodbye to all the teachers and Ms. Allison. The car ride home is a flurry of stories about what they learned and how great their day was. Even the school itself is impeccably clean and well maintained, which gives us so much peace of mind. Above all, it's clear how much the staff truly care about each and every child that enters through their front door. We feel incredibly grateful to have found a place where our daughters are safe, happy, challenged, and so well loved. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for an outstanding experience.

I cannot say enough good things about this center and the staff. From the moment we toured and now to every day at pickup, I knew this was one of the best decisions we could have made for our son and our family. While we love the animal “friends” baked into the curriculum, the best part of this center is the people. They have the most amazing and outstanding staff and teachers who really go above and beyond. They answered every single question I had on the two tours we took. Have been VERY responsive via email and text. They know every kid very well, they have special interactions with each parent as they drop off or pickup, they do a great job of documenting the day and staying in the moment with the kids. They have made a huge difference in potty training, quiet time and transitions for my child. Shoutout to Ms Kiara and Ms Lia in the classroom and Ms Allison and Ms Patricia who always meet me with smiles and tales of the day. We love TLE. Best choice we have made and I’m reminded of that every day when i pickup! ??

I can’t say enough great things about this daycare! Under the new ownership, the whole place is bursting with good vibes. My daughter actually looks forward to going every day, and I can see how happy and engaged she is. The staff is warm, attentive, and the environment is just so welcoming. I’m so grateful we found this place!

Great place if you are looking for a daycare. I was first hesitated since my son hadn't had daycare before starting here at age of 1yr 9months. With the help of staff here he was able to transition very quickly. Staff here is great. Always there to answer any questions or concerns. I love that my wife and I get updates through out the day regarding our little one via app. Also teachers will always give me an update on how things going with my son. I would recommend TLE for your daycare needs.
