Early childhood is a time of remarkable brain development. The education that children receive during these years creates the foundation for their future growth, development and learning potential. At The Learning Experience®, we are dedicated to cultivating creative, compassionate and innovative young minds through our proprietary curriculum and enrichment programs that increase learning during six critical stages of early development. Our programs have been built to help children maximize their cognitive, physical and social potential. Or as we say at TLE®, we help children "learn, play and grow!" We believe that how children learn is as important as what they learn, that's why our educational programs are designed to inspire children's love of learning through hands-on lessons that make their educational experience fun! Daily lessons promote positive engagement throughout the day and include phonics, sign language, manners and etiquette, philanthropy, foreign language and hands-on technology. Enrichment programs such as yoga, soccer, drama, dance and music are also offered at no additional cost. Whether you have an inquisitive infant, tenacious toddler or passionate preschooler, put your child on the path to success and discover how we help children reach their full potential at The Learning Experience®!

What our parents are saying about us…

“I have a lot to share about this center. let me start with my proud moment. Proud Moment: my daughter transferred to this center in July. the following January, she was invited to a birthday party with her friends from previous school. She was the only one who able to write her name in full there. :) My favorite about this center: Management & Genuine cares Management knows your needs, feels your pain. They HELP you. They are flexible and put their foot in your shoes. I know some of the teachers there, they enjoy coming to work everyday. The parents that I am close with also had told me how much they appreciate this center. That is what makes everything come together nicely. Unlike other daycare, my kids have the same teachers and friends for whole year. ”
