The staff at this center is nothing far from Amazing! The staff all made an effort to learn each and every parents face and their children. The drop-off and pick-up is handled in an orderly fashion everyday. Since Myles has been at the center he is doing well with potty-training and his colors, counting and ABC's. Thank you TLE for continuing to pour into my child.

My daughter has been going there for quite some time now. She started when she was 2 years old. Within her first month, she was potty trained. I loved the staff and so did she. Recently, my child care assistance was terminated (which means I had to pay the full tuition out of pocket) so I pulled my child out of this school and enrolled her in a cheaper school (the other school was about $70 cheaper each week.) She was enrolled in the new school for about three weeks.It was a nice school but she constantly asked to go back to her old school. The vibe was certainly different. Honestly, I missed TLE as well. I ended up enrolling her back into TLE and she is so excited. My child learns so much at The Learning Experience. They have a great curriculum and I feel confident that my child is learning in a safe environment.

My son had never been in childcare before TLE because I was worried he wouldn't like it. With TLE, there was no need to worry, since after one day he was asking to go back to see his new friends and his teacher, Ms. Alisha. This childcare has the perfect mix of learning, structured play, and unstructured play. The children are served age-appropriate healthy snacks and a healthy lunch, and do fun activities such as soccer and kids' yoga. The kids have lots of both indoor and outdoor play. The classes even go on age-appropriate field trips. The center is very clean, and the classrooms are large inside. The teachers and staff members are kind, patient, gentle, and fun-loving individuals who really love being with children--and it shows. I could not be happier with my choice of TLE for childcare for my son, and my son could not be happier, either.

The classes are small so I never feel like Laila is getting lost in the shuffle. Her teachers genuinely care about her and know her on a personal level. When you walk into the center it is very clean and bright. There is never a time I've felt that she was not being well taken care of. I love having her here!
