TLE on Palm Valley has been a huge blessing on my family. The staff is friendly, fun and professional. The teachers are quick to comfort and assist with whatever your child may need. They will work with each child's individual needs and you will see your child develop new skills with each passing week. They make learning fun and exciting for the littles. The bubbles and friends app makes for easy communication on your child's needs and keeps you updated on your child's day The front office staff are warm and welcoming. Sam, the director of the school is so knowledgeable of each students individual needs and is always willing to jump in to support her staff. Sam always makes herself available to staff, students and parents. Her smiling face is a daily highlight of morning drop off.

My son was home with my mother for his first two years thus his transition was very difficult. Every day for literal months he cried all day, his teachers loved him through it and never faltered. He blossomed and now feels at home at this school. The school Director, Samantha, takes any reports seriously and always makes us feel heard. Every teacher and associate knows my child’s name and create a space for him to be himself. If you are a parent nervous about the care of your child outside of your home, rest assured, your child will be loved and kept safe here. If diversity is important to you, this location also provides that. This center is lead and ran almost exclusively by strong, caring, smart, women of color.

I want to take a moment to publicly share my experience with The Learning Experience Palm Valley. As an overprotective mom, I’ve always struggled with the idea that anyone could care for my daughter the way I do. After a terrible experience at a previous preschool—frequent diaper rashes, lack of social interaction and guidance, and no trust in the teachers—I was understandably skeptical when I first came to Palm Valley. But from the moment I spoke with the women there, I felt genuinely welcomed. The love and attention my daughter receives at The Learning Experience Palm Valley is truly priceless. Miss Amanda and the other teachers have embraced Maddie just as I would, and that means the world to me. Since starting here, I haven’t seen a single diaper rash, and most importantly, I trust that she’s being cared for with the same love and attentiveness I give her at home. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be nurtured, loved, and educated, I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you so much to all the incredible staff! A truly grateful momma

I get regular updated and picture of my daughter. The playground is also clean and well maintained. They also separate the playground for different aged groups. I would highly recommend TLE. Really love the Palm Valley location.

My son went here for two years until he started kindergarten. We had a wonderful experience here. The Director Ms. Sam, Associate Director Ms. Sarah & everyone else in the front were always so nice and welcoming. They kept us informed and everyone really cares about the kids and families. The facilities were always clean and so welcoming with their bright colors. His teachers were wonderful and they had a strong early learning curriculum. My son learned so much, has grown all around and is ready for kindergarten because of their preschool program. They did many fun events with the kids to expand their learning and curiosity. My son enjoyed it so much here! We highly recommend!!
