Choosing a place for your child's early years is a huge decision, and our time at TLE in Clarkston…read morehas been a blessing. Over the years my son has spent here, we have watched him transform from a curious toddler into a confident learner. The process my son has made is incredible. The Curriculum at TLE goes far beyond basic childcare. He has learned Sign language and Spanish which is great in comparison to my childhood. It's been amazing to see him hit new milestones and develop strong social skills through their play-based approach. As he prepares to leave for "big kid school," the difference is clear: he is exceptionally prepared. Thanks to their focus on Kindergarten readiness, he isn't just meeting benchmarks-he's exceeding them. He has the academic foundation and the classroom confidence to step into his next chapter without missing a beat. The staff doesn't just watch the kids-they truly adore them. From the patient teachers to the wonderful administrators, the level of care is outstanding. We've always had complete peace of mind knowing he is in a safe, loving atmosphere where the teachers go "above and beyond." Clarkston is a tight-knit community, and the center is a big part of that. We have loved the events they host, which show how much they care about our local area. Some of our favorite highlights include Themed Adventures, Family Date Night and Community Connection. If you are looking for a place where your child will be loved, challenged, and treated like family, I cannot recommend The Learning Experience in Clarkston enough!!

I truly cannot say enough good things about TLE Clarkston. Our daughter started with TLE in January…read moreof 2025. We have never been made to feel like a bother by the management or teachers. Everyone is patient with us. Every teacher we have ever had, even the ones we were uncertain about at the start, have all adored our daughter and treated her better than family. Her current teachers, Rachel, Dina, and Gigi are so attentive and kind. We truly enjoy talking to them at pick up and drop off. Most of all, I want to acknowledge that daycare is expensive and it's hard to leave your baby with others. I can say with all honesty that my wife and I utter the phrase, "worth every penny," multiple times a month. Our daughter has excelled here and gotten so many experiences and built so many relationships that we would never have had the time or resources to provide working full time.

It was a fun experience and we decided to enroll for the school year. I absolutely love this school on so many levels. The staff are incredible. Waldorf is new to me but love the community and imagination based style of play, learning and life. They have so many traditions and events throughout the year that are magical. Nature based and a dim calm environment. The have a unique rhthym of the day that you won't find at just any school. They play outside, feed chickens, sing, open play, snack, story time, art, and so much more. I am looking forward to being part of the Acorn family for the next few years!

I love that the children have a rhythm and know what to expect each day. They get to take morning walks in nature, learn fun songs, feed chickens (and now pet the bunnies), learn how to chop vegetables, bake bread, learn finger crafts, molding beeswax, wet on wet painting, and everything about is natural. Lots of wooden toys to play with indoors & they get to wear cozy slippers, just like at home! The teachers are so comforting to the children when they need a little bit of love. My son needed that. I recommend you try their summer camps or ducklings classes.

The classrooms are clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to help children feel comfortable and excited about school. The teachers are creative and intentional in the way they teach, using innovative activities that help children build confidence and develop new skills. I've seen firsthand how clear instruction, patience, and consistency have helped my child grow and truly enjoy learning. The school also does a wonderful job bridging home and school, making families feel respected, included, and supported. You can feel the care, dedication, and commitment to quality education throughout the entire school.

She has never once come home with bite marks, negative words (such as 'butts'; which was picked up at her stay at a private in home day care). The teachers here are very supportive, kind and firm. They have given me daily report cards of her activities during the ages she could not speak, which I found to be extremely helpful! The detail of these cards was helpful for me to continue the same schedule while she was at home and at school. My daughter is now entering the young 5's and she and I are both excited for this next journey. The teachers have told me she will be learning how to use computer skills, learning spanish, and reading and writing. She will also begin learning math. The owner of SFMB, Nanci, has been extremely supportive to me and my family, and has gone above and beyond what I would have ever expected from an owner of any business. I am a single parent, and this is a school that I am proud to say my daughter attends. It is well worth the value of your money spent.
