Teacher quality remains the top reason why families choose The Learning Experience Sterling.
The staff are warm, communicative, and genuinely patient with the kids. Ms. Danielle in the preschool room has been especially wonderful.
Our daughter has become so much more confident since starting here. She talks about her teachers constantly and comes home excited to show us what she learned.
The transportation program has helped our family schedule tremendously. Trying to coordinate multiple schools and work schedules was becoming overwhelming before we found TLE Sterling.
We love being part of The Learning Experience in Sterling community. The environment is both caring and structured.
The Learning Experience in Sterling has created such a strong foundation for our child’s early education. The classrooms are engaging, the teachers are supportive, and the daily routines help children feel comfortable and confident. We’ve seen wonderful growth since joining the program.
We’ve only been at TLE for a short time, but I can already say how incredibly impressed I am with this school. I toured several schools in one day, and while many seemed perfectly fine, none gave me the same immediate sense of comfort and confidence that I felt as soon as I walked into TLE. The smaller class sizes really stood out to me, along with the way children rotate between rooms to stay engaged and active throughout the day. The staff is not only highly competent but also genuinely caring, which makes such a difference as a parent. The facility is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which adds another layer of reassurance. Most importantly, my 4-year-old—who had never been away from home before—is excited to go to school each day. That alone speaks volumes. I’m so glad we chose TLE!

Our parents regularly comment on the exceptional hygiene standards and welcoming atmosphere of our Sterling classrooms.
The entire TLE staff has been extremely kind, patient, and professional. The facility is brand new - super clean and lots for the kids to explore. Daycare is a new journey for us and they made this process super easy. Instead of anxious I am excited for my child to spend his next few years here.
From the moment we entered this center for the tour to my daughter's last day (she entered kindergarten this year), the warmth and true commitment towards children's well-being, individuality, and academic growth has been exceptional and enduring. It was a blessing to find this location and the entire staff works hard to ensure that the children are being nurtured, which you can see on all their little happy faces... they are excited to be there and learning. It was a truly lovely learning experience for my little one and she still talks about it fondly now, even after she has graduated and entered kindergarten, which she is excelling in...thanks to the awesome preschool experience she had at TLE. I highly recommend this preschool program, especially if your child has a thirst for knowledge, play, & social interactions. The center also has several events throughout the year to incorporate family involvement & a family friendly app, which are very nice features. TLE feels like one big happy family.
My daughter has been going here for almost 3 months now and it has been an amazing experience for us both. The facility is very clean and they do as much as they can to make sure they are preventing the spread of illnesses which is the worst part of a child integrating into a school. As soon as my daughter comes in she is instructed to wash her hands and I personally love that. She loves her teachers and the friends she has made. I love how collaborative her teachers are when it comes to not only education but social behavior and understanding that it is a two way street in developing a child and it takes work both at school and at home. I feel that my child is growing educationally and as a little human. We also love the events and themes that that have built into the learning. We are very grateful to TLE and I have no regrets in entrusting them with my baby.
The Learning Experience has been a game changer for us and our son. The staff is so friendly, caring, understanding and truly goes out of their way to provide the best care and structured learning for the children. It’s not a daycare, it’s a preschool that invests in your child’s development in all aspects! Our son was a bit behind on development due to lack of structured learning and development he was getting at his previous daycare. He’s come a long way in a short time. All the staff communicates well and keeps you up to date on your child’s progress and helps to address any development concerns.
We couldn’t be happier with this daycare! The staff is incredibly friendly, and my son absolutely loves going each day. A special shout-out to his teacher, Mrs. Sofia—she’s so sweet and dedicated, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about my son’s growth and happiness. We’re so grateful for the warm, nurturing environment she helps create. Highly recommend this wonderful place!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our daughter at TLE Sterling. We have been bringing her there for almost 6 months, and the facility is always very clean and organized. We can't say enough about how great the teachers are and the care they provide.
I love The Learning Experience, Sterling, VA. My son is in the preschoolers room and his teacher is very sweet. He loves going to school everyday and my husband and I are constantly amazed at the new things he’s learning there. The directors are very welcoming and wonderful too!
We have tried other daycare providers in the area and were less than thrilled with our daughter's progress. Since moving her to the Learning Experience, she is excited to go to school and learn new things. This school is great at giving feedback/pictures of her day and it helps to target conversation about how her day was and ask her what she learned. They are great at working with her dairy Intolerance and I am extremely pleased with all of their staff members! As a teacher and a parent I highly recommend sending your children here.
The Learning Experience is a fantastic school and my child loves going here! I highly recommend.
We love TLE Sterling. The facility is clean and the staff are kind and professional. The infant program has helped our child grow and learn so many new things. We are even practicing sign language.

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation
One of the most common reasons families choose The Learning Experience Sterling is our whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness.
We are happy with the care and amenities at the learning center. My 3 yrs old is very happy to go to school. Since im a little OCD, I can be very picky when it come to cleanliness and organization. At TLE, you can feel good about leaving your child here as the facility is brand new and everything are new and they have a system for everything which make my OCD’s personality very happy ? There is water play every Tuesday and Friday and my toddler is loving it ?
The Learning Experience has been one of the Best choices i have made for my daughter. TLE values and prioritizes education , as a teacher im very happy with this. Every day the school shares your child’s learning progress, physical activities and all her time at school through their app.getting this consistent updates almost every hour let me know my child is safe.The environment in TLE helps my daughter’s physical, neurological, and social development. She loves her teachers and stuff members there. Every single staff member has been nothing but respectful, friendly, and interactive with my daughter.Each day when i drop off my child, she is greeted with love and attention. And when i pick her up at the end of the day, everyone says goodbye to her (by name) as we leave, even those who aren’t her teachers. We love our TLE family ! I strongly suggest this amazing place every family is looking for a good place for their child.
I couldn't be happier with the care my daughter receives at The Learning Experience. It’s a fantastic, clean, and safe environment where I know she’s in great hands. The staff is caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's well-being. I never have to worry about her safety or happiness while she's there. If you're looking for a daycare that gives you peace of mind and provides excellent care, I highly recommend this place.
The Learning Experience has been an exceptional daycare for my child in the short time we've been here. One of the standout features is their commitment to keeping parents informed and involved. We receive timely updates on our child's activities and progress throughout the day, which gives us great peace of mind. The daycare's use of a digital portal is impressive. Multiple photos are uploaded daily, showcasing the various engaging activities our child participates in. It's wonderful to get a glimpse into their day and see them having fun while learning. I must give special recognition to our child's class teacher, Gloria. She truly goes above and beyond in her role. Gloria's genuine care and attention to each child is evident. Her dedication makes a real difference in the quality of care provided. Overall, The Learning Experience offers a nurturing, stimulating environment where children thrive. The combination of regular communication, engaging activities, and caring staff like Gloria makes this daycare an excellent choice for families, even in just the first couple of months.
My 3 year old son was having his best time at the learning experience, they’re staff is super friendly, supportive and welcoming, the building is very clean and organized, i got a notification on their app for every single detail of what my son ate, played and did throughout the day, he definitely learned a lot and became more organized and focused, i highly recommend them to everyone!!

Really happy with our experience at TLE so far. Brand new facility, toys, books, etc. We love Miss Estella and Miss Yessi, and so does our little girl!
Our preschool-aged daughter loves TLE! Every detail from the meals to outside time to their learning is perfectly coordinated! We are greeted with smiles every time we come and go. Thank you!
We love TLE! Our daughter has gone here since they opened in early June and she’s learning so much, we can already see such a difference at home. The staff communicates so well with us and we can clearly see how much her teachers love and care for her.
This is a great school to enroll your young child and prepare them for the future! After searching for 2 years and 3 schools later, we were thrilled to see The Learning Experience open in our area. We finally have a high quality option in the Sterling/Great Falls area. First, the school is brand new and impeccably clean - this is incredibly important to keep those germs away from the young ones (and from you!). Second, the curriculum focuses on the whole child and I appreciate the play and learning aspects that TLE brings. I am thankful that food is also prepared and served at school - what a lifesaver. Lastly, the Director, Owner, teachers and staff are wonderful to interact with, they listen and work with you to meet your child's needs. I can already see a difference in my son in how he communicates and interacts with the world around him. Highly recommend TLE Sterling-Potomac Falls if you are looking for a high quality school that will prepare your child for school age and beyond.
