Our Caring & Experienced Staff

Teacher quality remains the top reason why families choose The Learning Experience Thornton.

Annalise L.

We transfered our son from a previous daycare and The Learning Experience has gone above our expectations. My son was having a hard time potty training at home and school and now he has it down to a solid within 3 weeks. Every child is different of course but his teachers Shayla, Ernesta, and Sam work so well and are very patient with him. He comes home and surprises me in so many way beyond our learning at home. He says he learned it at school. Things such as songs, number counting, and demonstrating different ways of going about things in a positive manner. The managers have been welcoming, and always address any concern we have. They have a great curriculum as well as fun activities and events in place. My son's friends even transferred here and we all love it. Definitely recommend for all ages! All the teachers are great and work so well with infants to preschool!

We are now in our third year here, and we couldn't be happier! The teachers have all been absolutely wonderful and have helped our child learn and grow in so many ways. From taking those first steps and learning to eat independently to potty training, learning the alphabet, and so much more, they have been such an important part of our child's development. I'm incredibly grateful for the caring, patient, and dedicated teachers and staff who make this such a wonderful place for our child to learn and thrive. It means so much to know our child is in such good hands. We feel very fortunate to be part of this community and look forward to continuing our journey here!

We transferred our son from The Learning Experience in Westminster to the Thornton location about six months ago, and the transition couldn't have gone better. He settled in his pre school class pretty quickly, and he comes home excited!! His teachers here are warm, attentive, and passionate about what they do. They took the time to get to know him right away, and he absolutely loves them. The curriculum is engaging and well structured, and he's learning something new every week while having fun. He has also made great friends and gained so much confidence. The environment feels safe, nurturing, and full of encouragement. Having experienced two TLE locations, we would recommend this school to any family looking for a place where their child can learn and feel supported. Thank you to the entire team!!

We have been so grateful for the wonderful care our son receives at The Learning Experience-Thornton! All of his teachers have been incredibly caring, compassionate, and attentive, and they truly treat him like he’s their own. A special thank-you to Ms. Cynthia and Ms. Kenia for the love and care they’ve shown him every day. We also love the daycare app, which gives us such a great glimpse into his day—from what he ate and how he’s doing to adorable pictures of him learning, playing, and making friends. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing we can stay connected throughout the day. The teachers provide so many hands-on, creative, and fun activities that make learning exciting for him. We love seeing how engaged and happy he is, and how much he’s learning and growing each day. On top of all that, the daycare does a wonderful job of bringing families together with lots of fun family events throughout the year. It really creates a warm, welcoming community that we’re so happy to be a part of. We couldn’t be happier with the care, love, and experiences our son has received here. We’re so thankful for his teachers and everyone who makes this such a special place for him! ?

Safety & Peace of Mind

Thornton families consistently report feeling secure about the supervision, entry protocols, and overall safety standards at our Center.

Yazmine S.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this daycare! From the very beginning, our son adapted so quickly, which was such a relief and a reflection of how welcoming, loving, and nurturing the environment is. He has made so many wonderful friends and looks forward to all the fun crafts, activities, and learning experiences each day. It’s been amazing to see how much he has grown and how many new skills he has developed since starting. A special shout-out to Ms. Cynthia and Ms. Kenia for being such amazing, caring, and dedicated teachers. The love, patience, and kindness they show the children truly means so much to us. We are incredibly grateful to have such wonderful teachers helping our son learn, grow, and feel comfortable and happy every day. Thank you for creating such a fun, caring, and enriching place for our little ones. We truly appreciate everything you do and feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful daycare community! ??

We have been at TLE for 3 years now and continue to love and trust the staff and leadership. Even though this is a large daycare center, they have such a personal connection to all of the children. It seems like all the staff know our kids names and always have a friendly smile and warm greeting when our kids walk the hallways. We have been very happy with the care our kids have received here, and will cherish it, as they have been fundamental in our kids growth and development.

Rene H.

We can’t say enough great things about TLE and the incredible staff. Ms. Julie and Ms. Nicole have played such an amazing role in our daughter’s growth and development, and we are truly grateful for the care, patience, and encouragement they show every day. When our daughter first started, she was extremely shy and hesitant, but thanks to the supportive environment they created, she has grown so much in confidence. She now looks forward to going to school, enjoys learning, and comes home excited to tell us all about her daily activities, lessons, and experiences. It’s clear that the entire staff genuinely cares about the children and puts so much effort into helping them learn, grow, and feel comfortable. Seeing our daughter become more social, confident, and enthusiastic about school has meant the world to us. We highly recommend this school to any family looking for a caring and positive learning environment for their child.

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

Our parents regularly comment on the exceptional hygiene standards and welcoming atmosphere of our Thornton classrooms.

Kirsten A.

We've had the best experience at TLE Thornton. We moved here after our previous daycare closed, which was a difficult transition but we're so glad we did. ALL of the teachers have been fantastic and it's very apparent that they really care deeply about our kids! As our kids move classrooms, we miss the previous teachers so it's nice to see them around the building. Also have to give a huge shoutout to the management team - Morghan, Meghan and Juanita are incredible keeping everything organized!

Karina B.

My son has always been excited to go to school becoming excited to learn as well vocally confident to express his needs and wants in a happy mood. Romans family is very happy with the learning experience.

Ashley A.

We’ve been sending our kids to TLE Thornton since we moved here, and haven’t ever thought of leaving. Being here years, and now sending our youngest through the ranks, it’s comforting to continue seeing the same teachers and enjoy the newer ones! Hailey is a fantastic baby caregiver, Cynthia and Kenia have so much loving patience, Ms Tina is great at teaching 2 year olds hard and soft skills, Leslie is the warmest face in the morning, and NaeNae always ensures the kids are so well cared for while having the most fun! Thank you to everyone who cares for my kids and teaches them. My now Kindergartener has succeeded incredibly well in her first year at school (even achieving an academic award!) and all because of what she learned at TLE. I can trust the teachers to teach my kids to be SUPER prepared and I just get to be with my kids and enjoy them without worrying about anything else. Thanks TLE!

We’ve had an amazing experience here. Juanita, Meghan, and Morghan run everything seamlessly and always greet families with such warmth and professionalism. My son loves his teachers and is genuinely excited to go to “school” every morning. That peace of mind as a parent is priceless. We know he is safe, cared for, and surrounded by people who truly love what they do. We highly recommend this daycare!

Megan S.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about TLE Thornton! My oldest started there three years ago at just six months old, and when our second daughter arrived, it was an easy decision to enroll her as well. The entire staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and responsive to our family’s needs. The directors, Juanita and Meghan, go above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming environment, and the Business Manager, Morghan, is always kind, professional, and quick to help. My oldest, now three years old, has learned so much; from academics to manners and absolutely loves going to school. She constantly talks about her amazing teachers, including Ms. Shayla, Ms. Teressa, and Ms. Laura. Even after she transitions to a new classroom, her former teachers are always excited to see her and check in, which speaks volumes about the community they’ve built. Our infant’s lead teacher, Ms. Hailee, is incredibly organized and does a phenomenal job caring for and engaging with our 8-month-old. While I’ve mentioned just a few names, every teacher we’ve encountered has been truly wonderful. The facility itself is clean, organized, and excellent at communicating with families. They even have an app that shares adorable photos, meals, and reminders. We love the fun family events and special days they host, and they’re always quick to share important updates about health or behavior. Most importantly, I know my children are safe, cared for, and loved at TLE. I will recommend TLE Thornton to any family.

Diane M.

We’ve had our daughter enrolled at TLE for a year now, and it has been an incredible experience. From the very beginning, the staff worked closely with us and even helped us get speech therapy started, which has made a huge difference for our little one. She has been thriving ever since joining, coming home every day with new things to talk about, excited to share what she’s learned, and genuinely enjoying her time there. The progress she’s made in just a year is amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with how much she has grown. The teachers are truly wonderful caring, patient, and dedicated and the staff overall has been nothing but supportive. We really appreciate the service and care they provide. Everything about our experience has been positive, and we couldn’t recommend TLE enough!

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

One of the most common reasons families choose The Learning Experience Thornton is our whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness.

Briana F.

I highly recommend TLE based on our exceptional experience over the past few years. They have such a dedicated staff that genuinely care for each child. We love Meghan, Morghan and Juanita! Will recommend TLE to any parents looking for care!

Amber

I just wanted to send a note to say how lovely the staff at TLE is. Every morning my girls are greeted, by name, by multiple teachers even those from other classrooms. The admin team is always so friendly and helpful as well. A special shout out to Miss Ashley and Miss Hailey who are just so kind and it warms my heart to hear that they are missing Leah and still pop into Toddlers to say hi to her and get a quick hug. It is so nice to know how much the teachers care for your child as an individual. Libby was nervous to move up to Preschool 1B because she loved Miss Laura and Miss Mel so much but she has had nothing but good things to say so far! I feel very lucky to have peace of mind knowing my daughters are learning so much and have teachers who truly care for them every day. Please share my appreciation with the team!

Camille

The Learning Experience Thornton is truly amazing. Every single person who works there is overflowing with care and compassion for the children. My child is so excited to go to TLE every day, and is always happy at the end of the day (sometimes even sad when we have to go home!). Every interaction we've had is positive, the activities are fun, and my child has learned and grown so much in the year that we've been at TLE. Highly, highly recommend TLE to anyone - it's warm, joyful, charming and your children will be cared for at the highest standards. Thank you to everyone at TLE for making it feel like home!

Jessica P.

TLE is the best thing we could have done for our daughter. Within the first year of parenthood, we had been to 4 different locations seeking the highest quality care. We have gone to two different TLE locations and I can confidently say that Sarah, Brandon, and their staff here in the Thornton location are all wonderful! The curriculum follows the L.E.A.P. program that gives the children everything they need to know and helps them advance in such a fun way. I highly recommend TLE Thornton!
