Our Caring & Experienced Staff

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

Sarah

My daughter thrived at TLE — growing, learning, and forming bonds that I know will stay with her for years to come. We’ve appreciated every drop-off, every adorable art project, and every milestone she’s reached along the way. The educational curriculum is thoughtful and engaging, and the amount of outside time the kids get is such a bonus. She’s come home excited about everything she’s learned and created. We also loved how consistently the staff kept us updated through photos and messages in the school app — it made us feel involved in her day even when we couldn’t be there. We’re so grateful for the role the entire team has played in these early, important years. I would absolutely recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing, reliable, and genuinely caring environment.

Meghan

I’ve had 3 kids go to school at The Learning Experience. Two have graduated and one is in preschool at TLE. We’ve been in pretty much every class at this point and have always had a great experience. There is very little turnover and the teachers truly love the kids. I’m continually amazed at how much they really care. The curriculum is also incredible and my two older kids were so prepared to start kindergarten.

Jillian

I transferred here from another TLE when I moved to Yorktown and it’s the best decision. My daughter will leap out of my arms to be with her teachers. Kristin, Diana, Amanda and Angelina are literally the best. In addition, my daughter has severe food allergies and the administration as well as her teachers have worked diligently with the restaurant to see what she can and cannot eat and ensure she hasn’t needed her EpiPen. I can’t recommend this location enough.

Victoria

We absolutely love TLE at Yorktown and I honestly cannot say enough positive things about them!! It's the people that make a place, and the entire staff here are caring and kind. My daughter started at TLE in September of 2024 at 5 months old. I was nervous to leave her because she was so young, even though I had a good feeling about this daycare. However, the staff made me feel like part of the family right away and I could see that they took such great care of her. I love going to pick up Maddie because everyone is so warm and friendly. Everyone says hello and everyone knows Maddie's name. It is so endearing!! I could not have asked for a better place to take care of and teach Madeleine. To this day, my favorite part of my day is getting the photo updates from TLE! If you are thinking of enrolling your child, take the leap and do it! I would not leave a review if I wasn't 200% happy with my experience ??

Chelsea

I can’t express how wonderful TLE Yorktown is! From the moment we walked in with my son at just 3 months old, we have been greeted by the warmest and most friendly staff. Everyone is so welcoming, kind, and genuinely cares about the children. The staff is not just professional, but also passionate about their work, which is evident in the various activities they plan! They take the time to get to know each child individually and create a nurturing yet challenging age-appropriate environment. His happiness at pick-up confirms what we see in their app (which is a highlight of our day!) – he loves being at TLE. Highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a place where their child will thrive and you can feel at ease!

Karina

TLE has such a special place in my heart. My oldest daughter attended years ago and I loved the colorful and safe environment. I knew my youngest daughter had to attend also. The staff is all so sweet and caring. They’re so patient with all the children. Your child will enjoy nothing but love and laughter.

Francesca

The Learning Experience has been an exceptional choice for my daughter's daycare! The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, creating a nurturing environment where she feels safe and happy. I love the engaging curriculum that promotes her development and social skills. Plus, the facility is clean and well-organized. It's reassuring to know my daughter is receiving quality care and education! Highly recommend this daycare facility to any parent looking for a loving and enriching environment for their little ones.

Daniel

This daycare is the perfect mix of being run by a tight-knit staff and being a corporate entity. It provides the customized care we want for our children while having enough oversight to be very very safe

Erica

I just started my infant son at the learning experience this past February 2025. I have been very pleased with the staff and teachers. Everyone is warm and caring, and I am confident that my son is in good care leaving me to focus on the demands of my career. They make drop off and pick up super smooth! If you are looking for top notch day care look no further the learning experience is the place!

Jana

We absolutely love The Learning Experience (TLE)! The teachers are incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, creating a nurturing environment where both of my kids, a 15-month-old and a 2 1/2-year-old, thrive. They come home every day with big smiles, excited to share what they've learned. It's clear that TLE fosters a sense of joy and curiosity, and I feel so confident and grateful knowing my children are in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

Kelsey

My experience at TLE Yorktown has been nothing short of amazing! My son, Mason, is in the infant classroom, and the care and attention he receives daily gives me such peace of mind. The teachers are warm, nurturing, and truly dedicated to each child’s development. I love the engaging activities, personalized updates on the app, and the cleanliness of the facility. Mason is always happy when I pick him up, which speaks volumes about the environment. Communication is excellent, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. I couldn’t be happier with my choice! Highly recommend TLE Yorktown to any parent looking for quality childcare!

Tiffany M.

My family and I have been attending TLE Mohegan/Yorktown for many years. My son recently graduated very well equipped for kindergarten. The preschool program is student centered and structured well for the age group. The teachers are dedicated and always open to trying what works for the child. Also, my daughter has attended from infant through toddler program. Positive takeaways (to name a few!): - personalized projects as keepsakes - communication app for photos and updates - HOT LUNCH!! It looks very tasty too! - kind, reliable staff I recommend TLE Mohegan to anyone who’s looking for childcare and/or a program for their child.

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

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

Mohamed

We love The Learning Experience in Yorktown Heights! The staff are attentive, caring. The facility is clean, and well-organized, with plenty of engaging activities that keep the kids learning and having fun. Our children have shown great progress, and we feel confident leaving them in such a positive, nurturing environment. Highly recommend to any parent looking for quality daycare in the area!

Michele

My children attended the learning experience for 2 years. My older one for PreK + aftercare and my younger one for twaddlers through preschool. The facility is well maintained, colorful, and has the walls lined with art/work/pictures from the various classrooms. Compared to another daycare we attended I feel this one spends their money more wisely. There are plenty of toys for the children, the workbooks are TLE themed and nice quality, the playground and area are very nice. My kids also really like the food and snacks that are provided. Another stark difference between other daycares is the low turnover rate of teachers. My kids have always had the same teachers for the entire school year and that is unheard of at a lot of other daycares. Many teachers have been there since the place opened. The teachers are also great, very loving towards my kids and have also helped them grow a ton over the years. The administration is very nice, Amy is very organized and will always make sure anything you need is communicated or taken care of. The curriculum seems great too, my older son was more than ready for Kindergarten after PreK at TLE.

Amber

I have two sons that attended TLE since they were 4 months old. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the environment itself. I have never had an issue in the past 4 years. Both my sons have had such positive experiences. They have both learned so much. I have one son there now in the toddler room and he absolutely loves coming to TLE and never wants to leave. Overall our experience with TLE and their staff has been amazing!!

Sarina

Our children are currently enrolled at The Learning Experience and we couldn't be more pleased with the center. My daughter comes home with many crafts and projects that they have completed throughout the day. My son is in the infant room and even they do tons of crafts and projects. The staff is amazing and the teachers are so friendly and welcoming. We couldn't be happier with the center thus far.

Megan

My son attended TLE Yorktown from age 1-4 before moving on to UPK in our school district. He received top marks on an early assessment given by the school, and all of his teachers remarked on how much he already knew coming into the program. They asked where he went to pre school and when I told them that he attended TLE, they said “that explains it! They have the best curriculum!” My little guy was so well prepared for UPK thanks to all the wonderful teachers at TLE! He learned so much there that will serve him well in these early years of elementary school!

Sean

We have had our two kids at TLE for the last two years, and we have been very happy with everything. Our kids are excited to go everyday, and we have seen their progress moving from toddlers to their next phase. Our daughter just graduated from preschool there and she feels very prepared to head to kindergarten this fall, which is all we wanted. Highly recommended!

Rose G.

My 5 year old granddaughter has attended The Learning Experience for almost two years. She has also attended summer camp there as well. As a grandmother and her caregiver, I have had the opportunity on a daily basis to experience and learn first hand about the school. The Director, Staff and Teachers are all very caring and professional. The environment they create is warm and friendly and are very patient and understanding in meeting the needs of of the children as well as the parents with any and all concerns or questions they have. The facility is immaculate. Using an app, parents have full access at any time to see all that their children do throughout the day, including their activities etc. TLE even hosts a Parents Night Out. The teachers work to make the transition from preschool to kindergarten a very happy and positive experience for them getting them ready in every way. I have see my granddaughter grow and learn so much during these past two years and I can say she is definitely ready for kindergarten. I highly recommend it!

Tiorys

My son absolutely adores all of the teachers in the Infant rooms - especially Ms. Kristen and Ms. Diana. He has a huge smile at drop-off, looking forward to the fun day with his little friends. His favorite activity this summer has been water play!

Kerri

My family spent five years learning and growing with TLE in Yorktown, and we have finally said goodbye as our baby enters kindergarten. There are not enough compliments worthy of the staff here; they go above and beyond for the children and their families. Every family becomes a part of their family. They take interest in not only the children in their care, but also siblings, parents and even grandparents. When we went through some tough times, Keri and her staff were flexible, patient and understanding. My son is kindergarten ready thanks to the incredible staff, and I could never repay them for that. We loved every second of our time at TLE, and will miss seeing them each day. A wonderful experience from start to finish, and encourage anyone looking to join this family. You will not be disappointed!

Michele

I cannot say enough good things about the TLE! Our daughter attended from 2 years old until Kindergarten and now our son is at TLE. The staff is by far amazing...always so responsive and attentive to the needs of the children and the parents. TLE's curriculum is great as my kids learned so much but also had fun playing with friends and all the activities the wonderful teachers have them do. TLE also serves snacks and hot nutritious lunches which makes my life so easy not having to worry about what to send them in with and packing food. I highly recommend TLE!

Kerry

I have been working at TLE for the past six and a half years as the Toddler A head teacher! It has been a wonderful and welcoming environment from day one. From our owners to our administrative staff, everybody is incredibly hard working, kind and devoted to the well being of the children. I am lucky to be a part of such a great team!!

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

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

Maureen

We are extremely grateful for the wonderful experience my two boys (5yrs and 3yrs) are having at the Learning Experience in Yorktown. Both boys started as infants and now our oldest has graduated their program. The staff members throughout the facility are dedicated to the children. They work endlessly to ensure the children are cared for and safe at the same time fostering their development both socially and cognitively. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send them to TLE in Yorktown. - Tim and Maureen

Lauren

We are absolutely in LOVE with TLE Yorktown. We started with them when my son was 6 months old. He's now 20 months. The infant teachers were so great. My son especially loved Chantale and Kristin. He often leaped out of arms to go to them when I dropped him off. And when I picked him up I could hear him laughing from down the hall. Then he moved to the toddler room and I worried about how he would be in a new room with new teachers. The team did such a great job transitioning him. Toddler teachers are equally as wonderful! Kerry and Nicole made him feel safe in his new room. I love the cleanliness, the bright colors, the art projects and how attentive they are with his allergies. From day 1 Ive felt so comfortable with the care he has received. Such piece of mind knowing he is having fun, learning and growing with this wonderful staff. Thank you Keri, Barbara Ann and Amy.

Karen

Our (almost 2 year old) daughter has been going to TLE in Mohegan Lake since she was 4 months old. From the first day we have felt like we are a part of a family. As a new parent dropping of their baby, I was instantly put at ease as I could see how with attention she receives everyday. Now, a year and a half later, I can see how she has been loved by every teacher, almost as if she was their own. At the start of the pandemic, when we knew my daughter would be home for a little while, I was devastated that she would not get to go to “school” everyday where she loves to be. To my relief, when we decided to bring her back to TLE in June, I was immediately put at ease when I learned of the safety protocols in place. When we arrived on her first day back to a “welcome home” greeting, I knew we had made the right decision. Our daughter continues to amaze us by how smart and funny she is, a true testament to the care and knowledge she receives everyday at TLE!

Casandra

We absolutely love TLE of Yorktown! My 1.5-year-old daughter has been attending since she was 6 months old. The center came highly recommended from family and a couple of friends who had their children enrolled. We had a great first impression on our tour. The center provided everything we looked for; friendly and welcoming staff, a comfortable and positive atmosphere, it was very clean and the building was secure and safe. Since our decision to go with TLE, the center and the staff have continuously impressed us by their dedication and love for what they do. The staff is amazing - they answer all of our questions and are very informative, which made our daughters, and our family's transition easy. We cannot say enough good things about the teachers who are warm and nurturing. They truly care for the children. We receive detailed daily reports with all the fun and exciting activities they do each day that work on our daughter's developmental skills. She has learned so much from being at TLE and is thriving. She can't wait to get there in the morning! The center has been supportive of all of their families needs. They remained opened during the pandemic for essential working families like my own, but also sent home weekly emails with lessons and activities to keep the children at home engaged. They have been in constant communication with us and have put guidelines and precautions in place to ensure the health and safety of the staff, children and their families. We have found a second family at TLE and are so grateful for the work they do!

Nicole

Both of my daughters have gone through TLE Yorktown. We started our oldest when she was 2 1/2 after leaving another local daycare we were unhappy with. Our youngest started at 4 months. When looking for a new daycare, we toured almost everyone in the area and asked everyone we knew for recommendations. TLE was the name that just kept on popping up. When we went for a tour, we saw why. The building is always clean, secure and inviting. The children's work is always displayed and up to date. But..beyond the aesthetics, it is the employees that make TLE a special place. They have become our extended family over the past few years! I can't begin to express how happy and satisfied we are with the love, care and attention both of our daughters receive at TLE. Our oldest just started kindergarten this year, and she started school ahead of many of her peers academically. She still goes to TLE for before and after care..and although I wish I could be the one putting her on and taking her off the bus each day, I know that she is with other "parents" at TLE. She still looks forward to seeing her past teachers at TLE! Our youngest daughter has grown up at TLE. She has been with the most wonderful, caring teachers since day one. Leaving her a four months was not easy, by any means, but I know that she is in the best possible place. Being a teacher, I know how crucial the early years are to development. The work that my daughter is doing is always developmentally appropriate and challenging. Choosing a daycare can be such a difficult , stressful decision. However, when I walked into TLE those feelings went away. It has become our home away from home. They are flexible and work with our needs, and I have always gotten an immediate response to nay issues that have arisen. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending TLE to any prospective parent.

Karime

Our family has been a part of TLE - Yorktown for 2 years and I cannot say enough great things about them. As a new mom, I was super nervous about dropping my 4 mo old daughter off and took the day off because I was too neurotic to be of any use. I called repeatedly to check on my girl and Barbara Ann and Keri were extremely comforting all 5 times I called. When I had questions about how to help my daughter with teething (so we could sleep) Maria, from Infant A, was there to guide me. When I wasn't sure what to feed my daughter at 6 months, Chantal from Infant B was there to offer suggestions and teach me a few things. The staff are all so loving and caring that we didn't hesitate to enroll our 5 mo old, even during a pandemic. TLE has been incredibly supportive with my own anxiety and have taken the time to put me at ease each time I changed my mind about bringing my girls back during these difficult times. One day, when my daughter was home at the start of the pandemic and was singing a song I didn't quite understand, I reached out to her wonderful Toddler teacher, Kerry, who face timed us to sing the song with my daughter, who was beyond delighted. That kind of attention and care is why I felt at ease returning my girls to TLE in June. I am so appreciative of all of their clear guidelines and precautionary measures; it puts me at ease during an otherwise anxiety inducing situation. The TLE staff feel like family for us and we cannot thank them enough for all of the love they show our daughters. Amy at the front is also a wonderful person to see first thing in the morning. We ❤️ TLE Yorktown!

Ryanne

My children Thomas (3 1/2) and Anna (1 1/2) have been attending The Learning Experience in Mohegan Lake since they turned 1. I have been very happy with my experience. My children are both happy, engaged and look forward to attending "school." When my son was 2, his teacher guided me on how to best handle potty training. I have been overly impressed with how the teachers are willing to work with the families. As a first time mom I needed advice and they were willing to provide it. They have shared strategies and ideas that have been invaluable to me. In addition, I have found the staff to be caring, nurturing and very enthusiastic about working with children. The art projects are amazing, the vocabulary my children come home with is impressive, but most importantly the smiles on their faces when they see their teachers each morning is priceless. Thank you, Ryanne LoPresti

Christine G.

I already wrote one testimonial…but I wanted to add something else. Consistency is so important in a child’s life. My two year old son now has the same teacher at TLE that my five year old had three years ago. This is why it is so easy to leave my children with these dedicated women. I know who they are, we all continue to grow together and get to know one another. Seeing the same faces every day, all of the teachers knowing your name as well as your child’s name, sharing special milestones with each other and the strong trust you build with these women who are caring for your child or children is so very important. No words can truly explain how much I appreciate and value all of the women of TLE Yorktown.

Christine G.

I really don’t know where to begin. No words can’t explain the profound dedication, the endless love, the joy of teaching and the extreme patience that the women of TLE Yorktown have. They are amazing in so many ways. For the past four years, I have been seeing the same core of women work tirelessly to make sure that all of the children that are there are well taken care of and loved. This is evident when you walk in their doors. I happened to find TLE by “accident”. When my first son was born, I thought that it would be best for him to go to a private home daycare. Boy was I wrong. There was no structure or social interaction with other children his age. There was no accountability for what the sitter did during the day when my son was there. This became evident one day, when I went to pick him up and the sitter was not home. She left him in the care of one of her family members who I did not give permission to watch my child. The next day I decided to just stop in to TLE and see what it was all about. By the end of the tour, I had happy tears rolling down my cheeks. I knew instantly that I could trust in the women of TLE Yorktown and TLE is where my son belonged. Four and half years later, I can’t imagine leaving my two boys with anyone else. I feel like I am dropping them off to friends, rather than teachers. TLE is their home away from home. They feel safe there and I feel secure leaving them there. The relationship we have grown to have with certain staff members is priceless. In August, my two year olds “TLE mommy”, Courtney left TLE Yorktown. She was promoted to a management position at another TLE in Florida. Even though we were sad, we were happy with that she had the opportunity to do so. We always knew she was amazing and now the rest of the TLE Corporation would get to also. We continued to FaceTime with her and exchange text messages regularly. In November, we went to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with my parents. Courtney drove four hours and spent Thanksgiving with us in Florida, since she couldn’t go home to be with her family. She is part of our family and will always have a special place in all of our lives and hearts. I don’t know anyone else that can say that about the teachers at their child’s daycare center. This is just one of the many examples of the incredibly special relationships and bond we have formed with the staff of TLE over the years. I can go to work every day and know that my children are in good hands. They are happy, learning, interacting and safe. There isn’t much more you can ask for. I don’t even think twice when I leave them there. There is never a question in my mind that my boys are being loved and cared for just as I would care for them.
