Our 2 year old has been enrolled for about three months and we are truly thankful for the level of care provided at The Learning Experience! The teachers are communicative about daily happenings and provide peace of mind to the parents via photos posted through the centers secure app. Our child is excited to go to school everyday to see his friends and I actually feel good about dropping him off. I could literally write paragraphs describing how pleased I am with this preschool. If you’re on the fence, schedule a tour! Jamika, at the front desk is incredible and knows most of the parents and kiddos by name. This place sets a high standard for their employees and level of care for our children.

We have tried other daycares and were not satisfied. We went to visit The Learning Experience and immediately knew this was place for us. It was warm, friendly, and very clean. Our son loved the beautiful playground. It was the staff made us feel like family from the moment we stepped into the building. Ms. Dawn the director, was so easy to talk to and understanding about our concerns from the last place we had our little guy. Ms. Dawn is the reason we are here. Her knowledge, passion and love for education and the well being of the children could not be measured. This is not a daycare; this is a preschool.

We love TLE! We were fortunate enough to have our daughter stay home for the first two years and it was time for her to start making friends and learning in a classroom environment. TLE has provided that for her - and so much more. Outside of just classroom learning she has gained independence, confidence and is really learning to be her own (little) person. She gets to try new foods with meals and snacks being offered. Manners, lots of activities and I feel like it's a completely safe environment for the kids. We have been there since they opened and cannot say enough wonderful things!

I was very leery about starting daycare/pre-school when our daughter turned 2. We started at TLE right after they opened, and as in all businesses, the start was not the smoothest. The ownership made themselves present and made several key management changes, and brought in Dawn to lead the way. The changes were noticed immediately, and had it not been for Dawn and Stefanie managing the day to day, we may not have stuck it out. The communication back and forth is awesome, daily updates and pictures on the app, and they are just a phone call away. Highly recommend TLE in Surprise.

The Learning Experience will provide your child the best foundation for their academic endeavors. My daughter is 5 and attends here. The school provides the structure that children crave, the tools that help children gain skills, and staff that are nurturing and protective. As a full-time working mom, it is very important for me to be assured that my child is in a safe environment and, at the same time, my child is given every opportunity to learn and discover. In fact, I credit the school for the easy transition my child had moving from one childcare to here for her preK program. My daughter loves her teachers and her peers here. You will not be disappointed if you put your child in this school!!
