    TLE hiring staff who can't pass a background check
    CJ R.

    We moved to South Chandler in August of last year and toured TLE. We liked that it was clean and new so we decided to give it a try, even though it was significantly more expensive than our previous preschool. We thought it being new would be an asset. It was not. There has been a significant amount of teacher turnover. Right when my kids would get comfortable with a teacher they wouldn't show up for work and never come back. Then front office staff would have to fill in and just get through the day instead of focus on education and following the curriculum. We even hired one of the teachers to babysit in our home after our daughter gravitated towards her in class. When the teacher wasn't in school anymore we asked the school where she went, they said she was on vacation. After a couple weeks and she wasn't back we text the teacher and asked where she was, she informed us she could not pass a background check and wouldn't be returning. How was she working there in the first place if she couldn't pass a background check? We trusted the schools hiring process and had this woman in our home assuming the school followed state laws. Apparently they did not. The meals they served the children had very little nutrition. Mostly waffles, spaghetti, cereal, sun butter and jelly. They did not offer fruits and vegetables daily. The icing on the cake for me was after temporarily taking our kids out of school during stay at home orders. First they asked us to pay a fee to hold the kids spot if we were gonna take them out. I declined and said I would risk losing the spot and we'd be back when things settled down if there was availability. I called yesterday to inquire about potentially bringing them back. They said we would have to pay a new registration fee and they would be raising the rate. I didn't even argue. Honestly I should have taken my kids out of there a while ago. Even with all of these issues I haven't even discussed the most important problem. OUR KIDS LEARNED SIGNIFICANTLY LESS than when they were in a less desirable preschool in a less desirable neighborhood in a much less expensive preschool. This place is not worth it. If you decide to tour or consider this preschool, please look into the concerns I have posted. They are all legitimate issues.

    I absolutely love The Learning Experience! I must have interviewed at least 10 centers before deciding on this one for my two babies! I want the best for my babies and hands down this is it! My daughter has been here for over a year and absolutely loves the kids and the staff! I love the app and having the ability to see what she is up to all day. The staff is very communicative and friendly! They treat my daughter like family and give her lots of love! I highly recommend this center! I can't wait for my son to start soon too! If you are looking for a childcare with friendly staff and a great learning environment, look no further! This is it!!

    We are newbie in town and need to find childcare for my 4-year-old son. During the SIP, a lot of schools are either limiting the capacity or not accepting a new student. I found TLE based on the reviews on Yelp (thanks to all the Yelpers). Scheduled an appointment for a tour. My husband and I impressed the second we pulled in to the parking lot. The school is a stand-alone building which is a newly built, with a large outdoor playground & a basketball hoop (my son loves it). The staffs are welcoming and friendly. What made us even impress is their programs. They offer varieties of curriculums - it covers phonics, interactive L.E.A.P. program (Learning Experience Academic Program®), art & crafts, sign language, outdoor activities, and most importantly - manners & etiquette. What's cooler is they have their own APP!!! Yes, that's right! This is unheard of... childcare offers their own app and constantly sending daily updates about your child. They will send updates throughout the day letting you know what your child learns at school, what they played, what they eat. This is what I love about the most. It eases our worries. My son loves his new school and even been wanting to go to school on weekend. lol~ As a parent, you can see the efforts they put into each child. I'm amazed at what my son learned from school every day. "wow~" me all the time. TLE just bring the childcare to another level. It beyond what I expect a childcare service can provide. I'm thankful for able to found this school on Yelp and hope this honest review can help you too.

The only complaint is that there are three courts and the referees whistle is hard to hear because there are 3 courts and at least 2 games going on at one time.

There…read moreare bleachers for 2 courts but one court only has folding chairs and whenever we played on that court there were never enough seats for spectators. Game time can be chaotic with balls entering the courts but that would be an easy fix if they'd utilize the dividing nets they have set up. My disappointment is with the league. The refs are ok. Like any league there's good ones and ones who could maybe use some more training. At the start of the season, the teams were pretty well matched. They do roster checks at the beginning of the season but we were told from then on it's the opposing coaches job to do the roster check for whoever they are playing. As a result we played multiple teams throughout the season who suddenly gained older players right around playoffs. Some of the boys even joked with some players asking how old they were and they confirmed they were on one of the older teams. It was obvious to everyone else that there were kids playing down but when we asked we were told that they already did a pre-season roster check and it was the coaches responsibility to do follow up checks. I would think that was part of what we are paying for the league to handle? The boys had a great season either way but it always leaves a bitter taste to watch teams do shady stuff and go unchecked. I would recommend they look at doing more roster checks themselves throughout the season, especially for playoffs. In response to the business: Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate your perspective, though my experience has been different. I have multiple children who have participated in a variety of sports leagues over the years, and many of those leagues conduct their own roster verification checks throughout the season, particularly as playoffs approach. While it would be ideal if everyone consistently acted with integrity, the reality is that safeguards are often necessary to ensure fair competition. For that reason, I believe roster verification should be a league responsibility rather than something left solely to coaches and teams. Over the past few weeks, I personally heard concerns about roster compliance being raised by parents from multiple teams to league staff. Given the number of concerns being expressed, I was surprised that no additional review appeared to take place. Despite these issues, the kids still had a great season, and I want to emphasize that my concerns are not directed at the players or their families. My concern is with the small number of coaches who may be willing to bend the rules to gain a competitive advantage. Consistent roster checks help protect the integrity of the league and send a clear message that all teams will be held to the same standards.
