My family loves this place! The staff and the programming are amazing, and I can see that everyone pours their heart and soul into the kids. My child has been going to TLE since last year, and we cannot be happier with his development.

Hands down the best childcare facility our son has ever been to! This isn’t even just a childcare facility for him or us, it’s our second family. Our son is on the spectrum and it was hard finding a place that accepted and understood him. They went above and beyond on accommodating his needs and his everyday struggles. The communication is on point! We never have to wonder how our son’s day has been. When we drop off all the staff have smiles on their faces and something positive to say! When picking up they tell us about his day. We are updated through the day with the app and can also talk to his teacher through the app. They exceeded our expectations and made us feel welcome! He loves all the staff and they love him! There is nothing better you could want or ask for in a childcare facility. They accepted our son getting outside services such as speech/occupational therapy and also ABA. Our son doesn’t dread going to daycare anymore he is always wanting to go back to see his friends and teachers. Shoutout to all the staff for being so amazing to our son and accepting us with open arms. We could have never found a better daycare for him, and we are beyond grateful his other daycare closed the doors, so we could find such a special and amazing place for him.

We LOVE The Learning Experience! Our son's Preschool program is fantastic. He's learning so much and his teacher is so invested in his success. She is amazing and is a blessing to our family! The Director and Assistant Director are so great as well. We love that they promoted the Assistant Director from within, as she was a daily part of our son's life and now just has a larger role! We're so thankful for these ladies!

In August of 2023, I was looking to switch my daughter to a different daycare because the current one she was at wasn’t meeting her needs. I saw TLE one day driving by so I looked up their website and loved the things they offered. I scheduled a tour and enrolled her right after the tour. When I was touring I saw how much my daughter could grow and flourish at TLE. I’m so happy I did enroll her because it’s been the best thing for her. She’s excelled so much since she’s been there. I 100% recommend TLE for any families looking for a new daycare or looking to switch daycares. All the teachers at TLE are wonderful & amazing with each & every child that goes there.

I cannot even begin to adequately express how much I LOVE this daycare. My child is my whole world, and when we first started him into daycare, I was nervous. You hear horror stories about daycares, but this place?…. This place has some of the kindest, most down-to-earth teachers and staff I have ever met. These women care. They are moms, aunts, educators, and they take their jobs very, very seriously. It is a testament to their success that Courtney and Caitlyn greet every family as if they were a part of the family, and consequently most of the parents I have seen love stopping to chat with them. My little boy runs into daycare everyday, and he loves every teacher he comes across. It is evident in every aspect that this team has worked so very hard to make this place for our children to thrive and it is all I could ever hope for. I could brag about every single teacher that my son has. From his first teacher Stacy, to Jessica, Jordynn, Gigi, Josie, Haiven, Erica, and Heather… god these are just amazing people with the biggest hearts and I cannot brag enough about this place. It’s worth every penny!!!!

This place was absolutely amazing with handling my son who has high functioning autism. Not to mention the amount of things he had learned is phenomenal. ?? If your child isn’t enrolled with TLE you are truly missing out on an amazing opportunity.

I was happy to have found the Learning Experience. From the day I enrolled my son Caitlyn and I had an unbelievable bond. She was extremely helpful and made sure I was comfortable with leaving my son there each day prior to going to work. My previous experience was not the best but all staff here was great and caring no matter what. The facility was clean, the atmosphere was family oriented and I couldn't of asked for a better place. My son learned a lot it was unbelievable and he was prepared for pre K. I tried to do another review because my son teacher was Ms. T. My son has a hard time warming up to others due to the treatment he received prior to come to the learning experience; however, with Ms. T this was not the case and you could tell that she was genuine and was more than a teacher for her students. I will forever be grateful to the learning experience and will say this is the place. I am picky picky and again my child went through a lot prior to the learning experience. Courtney is also wonderful and there is not enough I could say about this staff. I again am grateful and it was a blessing to have walked in the building that day and asked many questions. Again thank you.

This school has been a Godsend! We are new foster parents and our foster son has gone here since day 2 of having him in our custody and the way that the staff welcomed him with open hearts and arms just made us instantly feel like this was the place for us! Our foster son has some behavioral issues due to his past but the way the teachers and directors love him has seriously healed so many spots in his heart. The staff is so kind and so loving and you can truly get a sense of family and a strong team connection. It’s such a nice facility and it’s very safe and secure which makes me and my husband feel at ease having our kiddo there. Not to mention, it ALWAYS smells so fresh and clean in there which this germ-a-phobe truly appreciates. I highly, highly recommend sending your kids here!

TLE Norman goes above and beyond to provide myself and my daughter the best experience. The teachers are actively engaging the kids in learning, playing, and exploring. My daughter has learned so much so fast, and the communication is top tier from the staff. The owners are very passionate about the kids priorities and needs, and they have done a great job at building that culture among the staff. I would highly recommend TLE Norman, as my family has had a bad experiences at a previous care centers, and TLE has prioritized making my family comfortable, and my daughter excited to go to school every day.
