Curriculum that develops the whole child

Our L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) Curriculum uses fun, hands-on activities throughout early education to help children develop intellectually, socially and cognitively. Or as we say, to learn, play and grow.

Characters that bring learning to life

Children love learning from characters—and studies show that it’s highly effective especially in preschool and early education. TLE® has a cast of unique, beloved characters, each one teaching children a new value or activity.

I am so impressed by the Learning Center Experience. I would recommend the school to every parent and would emphasize that the care is amazing along with the curriculum. The curriculum tends to be what can be missing in other centers. The curriculum is both strong and taught in a fun and engaging way. They use characters for different learning that my child loves to tell me about. It's a new center with fun rooms and a great outdoors area. I like how the classrooms are set up and have all of the new teaching resources and equipment that I see used in the Elementary schools. Additionally, we appreciate the director, her engagement and genuine care for the children. I wish they had care through all years of Elementary!

I have been trying to find the words to be able to get across to every parent looking for an amazing place to put their kids in. The Staff is what makes this place truly a gem. No matter how much the school grows they find a way to make every single kid have a one on one type bond and my son has thrived in the environment because of it. He can’t get inside fast enough and doesn’t look back, makes me sad 🤣 but actually very content knowing how safe and happy he is there. Look no further!

I have twin 4.5 year old daughters who absolutely love going to preschool at The Learning Experience! My girls enjoy the friendly teachers & staff, playing on the new playground which has a lots of grass & space to run, and learning new things in a creative way. As their mom, I love how clean the facility is, the safety protocols for COVID, the academic curriculum preparing them for kindergarten, and the ample parking for drop off and pick up. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great experience, parents and kids alike.
