The Learning Experience - St. Charles • Fri, Aug 1 2025 at 2:03 PM (America/Chicago)
This school is a breath of fresh air! We switched our 3 children here from another St. Charles daycare and it was by far the best thing for our family. The minute we walked in we were greeted with warmth and happiness. The staff is always excited to be there and see the kids come in. They go above and beyond every day, making sure that the kids have the best time while still learning everything they need. Despite my children only being there 1 month, I've seen significant improvements in their language, education, behavior, and overall happiness! There's a multitude of things that sets this school apart from others. First, their cleanliness is exceptional. They have special ventilation to help prevent the spread of illness, daily cleaning of the rooms and bed sheets, deep cleaning every week, etc. Previously my kids were sick constantly, so far not at all! Second, their strive on advanced education is beyond others. They have a focused workbook they do daily and different lesson tasks that correlate. They have the kids involved with daily tasks, daily "jobs", etc to help them be involved and learn tasks. They are focused on inclusion too! Not only do they have a special character with a cochlear implant (Gibby) but they also teach sign language to the kids! Once summer school is over they are adding in second language lessons too! They focus their learning on STEM & L.E.A.P. while being interactive and fun! Third, the characters! Not only are the characters fun but each character is wonderfully designed and teaches different lessons. Art, science, charity, manners, technology, phonics, etc! TLE not only has an interactive app for thorough communication with live updates and photos of the kids throughout the day, but it also has stories, music, videos, games, activities, and more for the kids to learn and play! They even have a YouTube channel with the characters for kids to learn and correlate school with home. Making learning fun! Within a few weeks, TLE has already incorporated multiple experiences for the kids! They had a visit from the firefighters, police officer with therapy dog, Bubbles character visits, water days twice a week, and more adventures and even field trips to come! In addition, TLE gives tailored welcome boxes with learning kits for each kiddo based on their age as well as enrichment bags each season- for summer they get sports balls from Flexi flamingo, they get musical instruments etc for upcoming ones! The kids absolutely love this & get excited to see and use them! My kids are always excited and happy to go to school now & can't wait to see what they get to do that day! I am grateful for the teachers and staff & to be part of TLE family. As a mom of 3 littles & a nurse working in elementary education, there is nowhere else I would choose to take my children! Highly recommend to everyone!
