The Learning Experience - Manhattan

TLE has been amazing since we started. The teachers are warm, friendly, and attentive to the needs of all children. The facilities are safe and secure and I always trust that they put the interest of my child first. Highly recommended to anyone looking to send their child to school downtown.

My daughter has been at TLE for the last year and we absolutely love it there. We love the director, Jessica, and have been thrilled with the teachers.



When we were touring daycares before/just after she was born I didn’t pay any attention to the curriculum because she was an infant(!!) but it’s been a surprise and a joy to see how much she learns at daycare. For example, “Eeeshy” (fishy) was a very early word for her – funnily enough the curriculum theme that month was “Under the Sea”. We also didn’t set out thinking our child would learn infant sign language, but it definitely came in handy before she could speak. And she LOVES music class.





The staff are warm and loving and the halls are filled with proud displays of the children’s art projects. I also like that the center has its own small private outdoor play area – a luxury in Manhattan. On a practical level stroller parking is much easier than some of the other daycares we toured – a small thing but nice nonetheless.





In short, we love TLE. Choosing childcare is a personal thing, but we are thrilled with TLE and I would encourage anyone considering daycare to stop by and tour.

I highly recommend TLE to any parent. Our daughter has been at TLE since 6 months old. We experienced a few other daycare centers because both my wife and I had daycare benefits through our employers. From the first day TLE has felt like home for our daughter. TLE feels like we are leaving our daughter with family rather than a daycare. We became very close to the teachers in her first classroom Miss Dominique and Miss Jeanie. There is no question that our daughter is loved by her teachers at TLE.



TLE's curriculum has enriched our daughter in many ways. She loves music class (often sings songs from school at home) and has become a sponge for new words! We are constantly amazed by what she has learned at school.



The administration and director of the school have been great, we're kept informed of her day and are able to keep in touch through phone, email, or text. We often receive candid photos of her day; which brightens our day.

We love TLE! My 4 year old son wants to go to school in the morning… seriously…what beats that.. The staff is great and the other families are awesome. Being a single Dad…. being a part of this community.. makes it just a little easier… Dad

My daughter is in the Pre-school program and we could not be happier. The teachers and staff are wonderful. Here the classroom is not just for play but has a consistent curriculum as well. My daughter is having fun and learning, too! I would highly recommend The Learning Experience to any family.

Nicole L. My 3 year son is so happy here. His teachers are excellent and take so much care in handwriting weekly reports home so i know what he's learning each week. The curriculum is also impressive - in less than a month my sign is writing his name and drawing happy faces.

We've had our child in The Learning Experience for about 3 months now and have nothing but great things to stay about the teachers and the other parents. Everyone is really nice and invested in the development of the children. I'm confident that our child is breezing through each one of their milestones due to the teachers' commitment.



I'll never forget our first tour of the facilities where we saw a classroom filled with children quietly eating *broccoli* together to infants in another room all sleeping at the same time. We knew it was the place for us, and haven't looked back since.

We have been at The Learning Experience since the summer and absolutely love it! My son was in their camp program, which was great and had such a good variety of activities- Soccer, Yoga, Jewelry Making, Science and now is in the preschool program. The staff is very caring and nurturing and have been very helpful to us with helping his transition to a new environment. My son has food allergies and the school makes sure all precautions are taken on a daily basis to ensure everything is safe and all staff are trained. We feel at home at this school and lucky to have found it!
