TLE is awesome! Since the first visit there they have treated my Child like a Queen! Every teacher knows her by name and she loves going. Every morning she walks right in like she knows that's her second home. She's 19 months and has been there since 6months old.
Happy really happens here. We are always greeted with a smile. The staff and teachers are very welcoming and caring. Thank you TLE for all that you do.

TLE Wale Forest is one of the best daycare centers in the Raleigh/Durham area! I have been to multiple daycare centers in recent years and this is by far the best I have used for my children. The cleanliness and professionalism from the Director (Mrs.Santiago) and her wonderful staff are what set this daycare apart from the others. All I have to say is, I wish I would've found this place sooner. Thank you TLE for everything you do!
The best daycare, everyone here is very professional with little children , and very nice and loved people, three of my children are enrolling in this location, they enjoy every day.
My children have been going to TLE for about 8 months, and they LOVE the center. My son has down syndrome and he has begun to speak more words since starting at TLE. This center has a indoor playground for the children to play in case of rainy days. The center are teaching my kids their alphabet and numbers. We could not have asked for a better team to teach and nurture my children. My kids love Mariluz and Marcia! Mariluz is always happy and excited to see the children. Always has a positive attitude!

One of the most common reasons families choose The Learning Experience Wake Forest is our whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness.
From the moment I stepped inside TLE, Wake Forest to tour, Mariluz and her staff greeted my son, Kingston and myself with open arms. They made me feel as if we were a part of their family. Kingston started as an infant and in his 2 years of going to "school" at TLE, he learned sign language, colors, shapes, numbers, and even started potty training! I was pretty impressed that he had learned so much in 2 years! Ms. Fahima, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Michelle and Ms. Millie are perfect examples of early childhood teachers and it was truly hard for us to leave these wonderful ladies. I would highly recommend TLE, Wake Forest for all your child care needs.
Our son has been going to this center for almost a year now. It has been nothing but wonderful. He loves going everyday as there are times he cry's because he has to leave. There is no doubt that he loves him some Ms. Mariluz. Coming from the center we were at to this one where we got a little behind they never once treated us or our son any different like the other center did. Mr. Charlie is a very nice, outstanding reasonable person. We give him thanks for what he has done.
I was fortunate enough to spend the first year of my daughters life as a stay at home Mom. After making a difficult decision to go back to work my first concern was to find the perfect daycare for Bella. We went to literally dozens of centers. When we walked in the door and met Ms. Marieluz we just knew this is where we wanted our baby to be. This decision was confirmed by every single teacher we met at TLE of Wake Forest. Her teachers Ms. Michelle and Ms. Jessica are just like our angels sent from heaven! Their assistant Ms. Fahima is one of the kindest people I have ever met. Ms. Stacy is also just a joy!! We literally thank God every day for this wonderful place. (Not to mention how much she has learned!)Thank you so much TLE of Wake Forest for taking care of our little girl. We are so thankful for each of you!!

Zoey started TLE at age 3 and was very shy and reserved. Ms. Ashley was her first teacher and she is awesome! I could see the difference in Zoey immediately. She came out of her shell with Ms. Ashley's guidance. Ashley was always very warm and welcoming and made all the children feel good about coming to school each day. She kept me informed of Zoey's progress and behavior. Ms. Lay is also a wonderful teacher as well and we are going to miss her class, as Zoey is transitioning to Kindergarten! The staff in general are friendly and the facility is bright and happy! Very good experience and would definitely recommend it.
I could not be happier with The Learning Experience in Wake Forest. My three year old absolutely loves his school, his teachers, and the friends he has made. The facility is extremely clean, organized, and overall impressive. They have a great outdoor play area, a kid sized two story indoor play area, an interactive smart board, and an amazing curriculum. The director is welcoming and all of the teachers are great. He especially loves his teacher, Ms. Mia. She has been nothing short of wonderful. My son has learned so much since he has been at The Learning Experience and I could not be more grateful for the wonderful care he is receiving!
We are still very new to TLE family in Wake Forest but I have to say that I am feeling very confident in our decision to enroll our son. I expected an adjustment period for my son with some emotional drop-offs; I am so relieved to say that he has yet to get upset at drop off. He talks about school while at home and is already talking about his friends. He has been in other centers and would often cry at drop off, months after enrollment. Each day I see him smile and talk about his day, I grow more confident in TLE of Wake Forest.
