The Learning Experience

After a lot of media attention related to day care issues all over the country and stories of children being neglected/​forgotten, I approached our day care options very carefully and cautiously. It is important to keep in mind that not everyone’s experiences exemplify the all-​around experience, and not every teacher is the same. The teachers in the classroom make a world of difference to the experience of the family entrusting them.
With that said, we have been exceedingly fortunate to have had our nearly 2 year-​old under the care of Ms. Ann, Ms. Kenisha, and Ms. Susan here. They have all shown what appears to be an honest interest and care for our child. They provide daily care sheets that let us know what he/​she ate (of huge importance to me), how they engaged him/​her ‘academically’ (at the toddler age, this would be like singing a certain song, learning about a certain color, working on please/​thank you, etc.), diaper changes, naps, and communication to the parents if diapers or wipes are running low. It is an efficient system for communicating those things you are hoping your child is doing/​eating/​learning.
We have popped in without notice on several occasions to really do our own form of ‘random inspection,’ if you will — really we wanted to verify that at random points midday that our child was being attended to as necessary, playing well, eating well, napping well, etc. So far each visit has been great and we have never experienced any issues with any of the staff that has cared for our child.
The management has been wonderful as well. Ms. Stacey does a wonderful job of remembering you and your child’s name, and any issues or questions with tuition, payments, general care questions that I have sent them via email have been responded to very promptly.
You can research the facility/​franchise online and see the technology available to the students. There’s a great play town that the older kids get to take advantage of (our toddler is still too young at this point), there are two separate outdoor play areas complete with toys, slides, and ample room as well as seating and shade. They do apply sunblock to the kids, which is a nice touch. We have also been told that as our child gets older and moves up to the next class, they will work on potty training as well. We have seen our child’s vocabulary and social skills absolutely BLOSSOM since we have started with this TLE.
As I said, we have been so lucky to have the great teachers our child has right now. As our child grows and switches to another class, that story may or may not change, but I will update my review as necessary. For now, I am happy to report that we are extremely satisfied with the care, attention, and developmental/​educational lessons that these caring teachers have provided for our child.

My wife and I have had our two boys at The Learning Experience since it opened. We have been very pleased with the care and education they have received. The teachers engage the kids in both educational and physical activity every day. They have activities such as yoga & learning sign language. I would recommend this child care facility to anyone looking for outstanding care in the area.

My children have been at the center for a few months and love it! The teachers are so caring and my children have learned so much through the curriculum. Definitely recommend!
