Our Caring & Experienced Staff

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

Kendra C.

I had an amazing tour at The Learning Experience Toms River! The center was incredibly clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff were so professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they truly made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Tiffany, the Assistant Director, is absolutely amazing! Hands down— she took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and made sure I understood everything about the program. But most of all she understood my initial concerns. You can really tell she and the rest of the team care deeply about the children and families. I left feeling confident that this is a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids to learn and grow. Highly recommend!

I just want to say how thankful I am as a single father how much this school has been doing with my son and accommodating to me as well. Nothing but phenomenal things to say about the curriculum, scheduling, and the staff. My son looks forward to going to school and also has a smile when I see him but he didn’t see me yet so I know he’s enjoying himself but he’s also learning as well. I know it’s hard dealing with a lot of kids all at once but the staff that I have met does it well and is EXPERIENCED. They don’t just hire to fill spots. I can tell most of the staff that I personally have met has knowledge and experience with young children. Thank you to the learning center and the staff for everything yous do to keep all(not just mine) but all children safe and taken care of and not left out

My granddaughter started going to The Learning Experience school in September . I have to say that the staff are all amazing. They do so much activities and events for the children. My granddaughter went to her first trunk a treat in October. It was amazing. She had so much fun she did not want to leave. For each holiday they do something special. When I drop her off at school in the morning. She is being taken care off and watched over. Miss Marissa greats her in the morning and makes her feel welcome. Miss Erica which is her teacher is amazing with the children. My granddaughter enjoys being with her. I am so thankful, grateful , and blessed for the school, the staff and the opportunity for my granddaughter experience at the learning experience school.

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

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

Jennifer

My daughter has been attending TLE since September and we couldn't have made a better choice. My daughter absolutely loves going to school; she's made friends and is in awe of her teacher Miss. Vikki. My husband and I have piece of mind with her updates throughout the day from meals; to daily activities and our favorite pictures throughout the day. I would recommend TLE to any family looking for the right safe school that will make there child thrive.

Amy

Our 2 children started at the learning experience last year and we could not be happier. 1. My son seemed delayed in speech after being home so long from the pandemic closure of our previous daycare and TLE made it a priority as he started and he was surpassing my expectations within 2 months. 2. My daughter had difficulty adjusting to her new schedule and with the kindness and compassion of her teacher she came out of her shell and is excited for school every morning. 3. The communication and availability of the teachers to parents is exceptional. Teachers are quick to offer help any way they can. 4. The curriculum is fantastic and comprehensive. The app that is used with TLE allows me to keep up with what they are Learning each day so we can follow up at home. Simply put, they have become an extension of "our village " to help raise intelligent, confident, kind,and compassionate little people.

Diana

My 20 month old has been attending since he was 7 months old and absolutely loves being there. He has learned so much already during his time at TLE and continues to show us new things he learns everyday. He looks forward to going to TLE to ‘play' with his friends and doesn't even turn back to say bye to mom! That's when you know he is in good hands. The teachers and staff are all amazing and have given my son such a great experience so far. We love TLE and would highly recommend them to family and friends!

My son has been at TLE for about 14 months and he loves it! The staff is friendly and he feels so welcomed and excited to be there. The teachers and administrative staff communicate well and keep me informed, which I am happy about. My son has learned so much over the course of a year and we are incredibly grateful for the staff and the curriculum at TLE TR!

Faith

Our son has been in the learning experience for a few months now and we absolutely love it there! Not only is the staff a pleasure to interact with but my child is learning so much and advancing right before our eyes. We love how organized and caring they are. I highly recommend it here 10/10!

Nastassja

To the Wonderful Staff at TLE! With Great appreciation, my child's experience here was nothing less than Amazing! The level of respect given and received, the outstanding care and patience and very loving! Thank you dearly to Kat, Miss Jackie, and Miss Bridget! My child spoke HIGHLYN of you ladies and when instructed in school to complete tasks/duties, he would carry them home and say, "no, because Miss ____ said...." and it was just cure how caring, loving, and polite my child is with others. This was his first daycare/nursery/pre-school interaction, when he first started we both had a little issues adjusting, but as the months went by, I appreciated him having this experience, learning new things, making new friends and gaining more socializing skills. I would recommend for any child to be able to enjoy the experience they provide! - The Neal Family

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

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

Nicole

Our daughter attended TLE when she was young (different location), so we knew we wanted our son to have the TLE experience when we moved to the area. He has been at the center for about 6 months and he loves it so much that he cries when I pick him up! I love that they provide snacks and lunch, which makes my life much easier. Overall, we're happy we chose TLE TR!

Amanda

My daughter absolutely loves TLE. She's been attending since she is 6 months old and over a year later we still love it. The center staff and teachers are always willing and able to ensure our child has a wonderful and safe experience everyday. We've seen our child grow tremendously and she is learning so quickly through the programs TLE provides. Highly recommend TLE Toms River.

Kelly

I recommend The Learning Experience to anyone that is looking for a safe, clean, positive, and curriculum driven daycare. I love the personal attention my son and I are given each morning. Staying connected throughout the day utilizing the app is one of my favorite parts! The teachers, especially Miss Marissa, know my son and care so much about his happiness. She listens to my concerns, and has gone above and beyond in making sure my son is okay on a daily basis. Overall, all the teachers are all wonderful with the children. The facility is extremely clean. This is a wonderful place to send your children!!

Summarlin

As a parent, especially a first time parent. When the time comes it is nerve racking to think you have to go back to work and be away from your baby for so long, not to think leave them alone with strangers. From the first day my husband and I took our daughter to day care to now, we have felt nothing more than family vibes. Every staff member is so loving, caring and patient. Our daughter absolutely loves being there and us as parents have never felt any concern. I would recommend TLE in Toms River over and over again! You guys are amazing!!!!

Katie

My son, Alex O., is having an Amazing Year in Preschool 2 with teachers, Ms. F and Ms. B! He kicked off the school year learning how to spell and write his full name and is now excelling in writing the complete alphabet. The whole TLE staff is "all in". I constantly and consistently see tons of learning, laughter, and love! My whole family has enjoyed participating in the family events such as their Fall Festival and Trunk-or-Treat. Today, I watched in amazement how Ms. F and Ms. B incorporated spelling, counting, rhyming, and even sign language into a Spooktacular Halloween Play. We have enjoyed making so many wonderful memories and looking forward to many more. Keep up the fantastic work staff!
