    Graduation
    Danny S.

    Both of our kids have started their school life here for the first 2 years. The attention to details, the personal care for each child the staff has given our children has been amazing. We will miss this school now that both have graduated and moved on to another school. It will be hard to match their experience they' had at TLE. Thank you so much for the love and care you've bestowed on our kids.

    It took me a while to write a review, but I owe it to other parents and my daughter to write this. I did so much research and I read so many good reviews from this place, so I decided to enroll my 2 year old. My daughter seem very excited at the beginning but that wore off quickly. She would cry as soon as we would arrived and I thought it was normal, and now I know it wasn't. She would come back home with scratches and abrasions, and thought to myself well she's around toddlers that's normal. It's not. However, we started getting reports/calls NONSTOP from the school saying how my daughter initiated physical altercations with other kids and even staff. She was just 2 years old ! It really felt like harassment. I would have to pick her up and they would have her at the front desk waiting for me every time. I honestly thought it was ridiculous and they would have me sign documents acknowledging her bad behavior (attached). We decided to take her out. My daughter started having behavior issues when she never did in the past. I won't go into details, but I even had to reach out to her doctor and get referrals. My heart and my intuition knows it was from her experience there and I tear up just thinking about it. She's been attending another preschool for 7 months now, and we truly love it, where she never cries and I leave knowing she's truly safe. When kids cry is not normal! They are trying to tell you something. TLE: I don't want to be reach out by anyone I don't even like driving by the facility. 1 staff member for 12 children ? It's not all about the money, it's about our children's safety.

    "Moon sand" is my kiddos favorite during stations.

    When our nanny retired we had to quickly find a place suitable for our kiddo. As an infant, we toured the TLE and found that it was the ONLY facility we'd consider,so we re-toured and decided to enroll. We've been a TLE family for a little over a year now (Preschool 1 & 2), and we've seen great growth in fine motor skills and discipline. We always appreciate the smiling faces and warm greetings in the morning by Ms. Belen, Ms. Ash and others. My favorite is the periodic picture updates via the app. When I ask my 4yr old their favorite part: "Playing outside on the playground" I would recommend TLE for parents who are concerned about safety, cleanliness and a warm environment for their kiddos.

    This review is for parents considering sending their child/children to TLE. My son, Matthew, has been attending TLE since he was about 11 months old. My husband and I simply cannot say enough good things about our experience here. Regular Schedules and Routines - TLE provides a well-structured daily routine and schedule for the children with a variety of fun activities that include singing, storytelling, art, and yoga. They also provide a structured schedule for playtime, naps, and meals which helps my son feel comfortable, as he knows what to expect throughout the day. Academic Advancement - TLE provides a curriculum-based learning environment for children and they always send home a schedule with the monthly themes and activities. Our son has developed so much in just a few short months. He's learned a ton of new words, colors, shapes, songs, and even a few Spanish words. Increased Confidence - Since attending TLE our son has developed an increased sense of confidence and he is comfortable in social situations with other children and adults. The teachers here are so loving and kind to the children. This has really helped Matthew learn valuable interpersonal skills, communication skills, and build his self-esteem. Communication - TLE uses an app that sends parents daily pictures and updates about their child's day. It's so nice to get an alert when I'm at work and see that my son is having a great day filled with fun activities. It definitely helps alleviate some of the guilt that parents have when we have to leave our children for work. The app also alerts us and lets us know when it's time to replenish supplies like diapers, wipes, or sunscreen. Food is provided - This was a huge one for us because our last daycare did not provide food and it took about 30 minutes of morning prep time off our plate. Every day they provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks with milk and water. Matthew has been able to try a variety of new foods that we wouldn't have thought to introduce to him and he's less of a picky eater now. Thank you! As a teacher myself, I know that my son's experience at TLE will help with his transition to preschool and TK. He's built a strong sense of independence thanks to his teachers and he is a happier baby because of the routines and structure that they provide for him every day. Thank you, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Gina, Ms. Candy, and Ms. Karen! Aside from everything else, how happy our son is when we pick him up at the end of the day is our favorite part. There is nothing that makes a parent feel more at ease than knowing that your baby had a good day. Thank you TLE staff and teachers! We appreciate you more than you'll ever know.

    My daughter has been going here since last November and we couldn't be happier. The teachers and staff are amazing and friendly. My daughter loves all of her teachers. Ms Lucia, Ms Carol, Ms Crystal, Ms Karen, Ms Letty.. the list goes on and on. Thank you for taking great care of my Lucy especially since we had such a horrible experience at the previous Daycare she attended. It's nice to always get a friendly welcome and see how much my daughter is loved and cared for.

    I wanted to start this review by saying Thanks to the center director Belen Acosta and my son teacher Mrs Brittany and to all the staff that has made my son comfortable with his surroundings and help made him feel safe and secure without mommy around because that was one of my main concerns for my baby and I am so pleased and Happy with the outcome of bringing my child here. this was his first time being around other children and without being with me all the time was something he was not used too... In my opinion & my experience with this facility is exceptional what attracted me to The Learning Experience was that it is safe and secure I like the app so that way this will keep you informed about your child's will being & that is a plus for me as well as the attention my son gets from the staff and teacher everyday... As long as my son is happy here that is all that matters to me at the end of the day. I am Happy That I chose The Learning Experience because for me this was A Blessing Thank you!, You guys keep up the Good Work because to me you are all Awesome the service I gotten out of this experience so far was that my son has adapted to everyone and know he can't wait to go Lol!!!!

My daughter really struggled at her first daycare due to its cold, business-like environment. Even though that facility was just two minutes from our house, I knew we needed a change--and that is when we found Kids Time. From my very first conversation with Ms. Renuka, I felt completely at ease. After visiting the school and meeting Ms. Renuka, Miss Leo, and Miss Tanya, I knew the energy here was entirely different. The 20-minute drive would become well worth it. Fast-forward to my daughter's last day, and I am truly heartbroken to leave. These beautiful, smart, strong, and kind women taught my daughter to love learning, showed her how to be brave when nervous, and built up her confidence in ways that completely impress me. They provided the perfect balance of kindness, friendship, and sincerity alongside structure and routine. It gave us immense peace of mind knowing she was completely safe while we were at work. On top of that, the teachers are incredibly observant; they always pointed out early signs of earaches or just "off days" at pickup so we would be aware. My heart is heavy to say goodbye, but I feel incredibly blessed that my daughter spent such an important developmental chapter of her life with these wonderful people. Thank you, Kids Time!

The love, patience, and dedication they show each and every day cannot be taught, it comes straight from the heart. It is evident in every interaction, every smile, and every moment they spend with the children. They don't simply provide childcare; they create a second home filled with warmth, kindness, and unconditional love. To us, Babycare by Celina is far more than a childcare provider. They have become family. We are endlessly grateful for the care they give, the values they instill, and the love they pour into every child. They are truly angels on earth, and we feel incredibly blessed to have them in our lives.

A special shout out to Ms. Raquel who has been such a godsend to my daughter, and her warm smile every morning, love and consistency means the world to us. A major kudos to the new director Jennifer for handling the transition so smoothly and bringing fresh energy. I'm excited to see how she continues to build on the strong foundation the school already has. Highly recommend any parent looking for school that truly partners with families in their child's development. One recommendation, while we recognize the value and care this school provides, the annual rate increases and added fees (for supplies, emergency kits, and registration) can feel a little steep for a preschool setting. Hopefully this is something the ownership can review and consider.
