My daughter joined TLE in 2020 in the midst of covid and all when she had turned 1. She attended TLE for 4 years until she started her K in school. We have 4 wonderful years TLE. Jill, Gabby, all the teachers and staff are amazing people running the facility. So friendly and flexible, understanding the needs of the kids and the parents. The location is excellent for NYC commuters, as the 166X bus stop is couple minutes walk away. They are also very generous allowing parents to park their cars in the parking lot for the whole day. The TLE app is a convenient way of staying up to date with daily activities, updates, billing and communication from teacher. Photos of kids daily activities are posted every on the app. TLE has great curriculum to teach kids letters, numbers, colors, shapes, vocabulary. Our daughter was so much ahead and academically prepared for K, thanks to TLE. For different age groups they also have special events like field trips for Pre K and K students, water activities during summer. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for daycare facility. read more

See all

Our 3 kids (triplets) were at TLE in Tenafly for close to 3 years. We love the staff there so much and always knew they were in great hands while we were working during the day. They were communicative about any issues going with the kids and provided a clean, safe, loving place for our kids to learn and play. The teachers set them up for success as they entered kindergarten this year. Thank you!! read more

The staff are great. Kids are not easy to work with. They have lots patients and definitely care for all the children there. They send pictures on the app so parents can see what they are doing through the day. Very helpful for us and grandparents who are oversea. Quick communication through the app as well: low on supplies (diapers/wipes), closed due to weather etc. Overall I'm very happy with the staff and the program. read more

Our experience with TLE has been nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew we had found a second home for our boys. After having a sitter for our 3 older children I now look back and wish they had the same experience. The curriculum at TLE is thoughtfully designed, striking the perfect balance between structured learning and creative play. Our children have blossomed under the guidance of the dedicated teachers who skillfully nurture both academic and social development. The emphasis on hands-on activities, group projects, learning through play and individualized attention has made a remarkable impact on our children's enthusiasm for learning. The super fun Make Believe Boulevard playroom is a place you need to see for yourself. One of the standout features of TLE is the exceptional quality of the meals provided. The nutritious and delicious menu is a testament to the daycare's commitment to the well-being of the children. Our picky eater has not only broadened their palate but now eagerly looks forward to mealtime. The attention to dietary needs and the introduction of diverse, wholesome foods reflect the daycare's dedication to fostering healthy habits from a young age. And what's better than not having to pack food while trying to rush out of the door!! The heart of any daycare lies in its teachers, and TLE boasts an exceptional team. There has not been one teacher in the 5 years being there that we didn't love!! The educators are not only highly qualified but also genuinely caring and passionate about their work. The love and patience they shower on the children create a warm and nurturing environment. Regular app updates and open communication channels make us feel involved in our child's developmental journey, fostering a strong sense of trust and partnership. I know I can always call Miss Jill and Miss Gabby and they will relay messages or do whatever is requested!! Any small update or chat with my boys' teachers is always carefully listened to and taken seriously. Whether I tell them they might need an extra hug today or that he had a bad night's sleep. Anything and everything is always taken care of at TLE. The staff at TLE extends beyond the classroom, creating a family-like atmosphere. From the front desk to the caretakers, everyone exudes positivity and professionalism. Their dedication to maintaining a clean, safe, and engaging environment is evident in every corner of the facility. The strong sense of community fosters not only a supportive network for parents but also a sense of belonging for the little ones. In conclusion, TLE has exceeded our expectations in every aspect. It's more than just a daycare; it's a community that understands and cherishes the uniqueness of each child. We feel grateful to have found such a nurturing and enriching environment for our little one. If you're looking for a daycare that goes above and beyond, The Learning Experience in Tenafly is the place to be! read more

I was hesitant about writing a review because Sharon from Regional did reach out to me and was able to FINALLY solve my issues, but parents beware! If by any chance you ever ever overpay this center for any reason you can pretty much kiss your refund goodbye. it doesn't matter how many times you call, how many times you request it is just not going to happen. The only reason why I received this refund after several weeks of requesting it and being told "it was in the mail" they have no control over it" it was because of said regional manager. To tell you that they had to drive the check over and drop it in my mailbox because they were sooo irresponsible the check was never sent is an understatement. Like I said beware!!! I know this is a franchise, so not all franchises are like this one, but for what you are paying at this Tenafly location, is just not worth it! read more

My son has been going to this daycare since he was 3 months old. I was adamant and skeptical leaving my kid in the hand of strangers. My kid is now over 2 years old and I can submerge myself into my job and daily tasks without having to worry about if my son is doing ok. Cheryl, the director in charge really cares about the kids. Yes, there are corporate rules and fees, etc. This also means that standards and regulations are up to par and they don't cut corners because Cheryl is on top of these things. All in all, I trust the staff that cares for my son. read more

The staff and the communication the staff has with my wife and I is the best. My daughter is 2 now and continues surprising me with everything she has learned here since being an infant.

My wife and I can tell the teachers really care about these kids and I am happy to know that my daughter is in good hands every time I drop her off. Will always recommend this center for anyones child care. SHOUT OUT TO MS. ALEJANDRA! BEST TODDLER TEACHER! read more

My son goes to TLE Tenafly and we couldn't be happier with his progress academically. They have enrichment programs which my son truly enjoys, their lunch options are great, the facility is clean and updated, they follow a strict curriculum, and the teachers are wonderful! He's been with TLE for a few months now and his vocabulary has exploded and he's memorized the alphabet, counting and knows a few words in sign language. Definitely a happy parent here! read more

The facility is clean, the teachers are nice and very responsive, and most importantly, my kids love the school. I have a 5 year old daughter and a 3 year old son attending, and I can tell the teachers are taking great care of them. I highly recommend TLE at Tenafly. read more

We have been bringing our son to TLE Tenafly for over 2 years now, and this is an extremely clean/hygenic place that is also professionally operated by the owners as well as center director Jillian. We are very satisfied with the overall curriculum as well as the general quality of the staff, especially my son's favorite teacher Miss Pam! read more

My son has been in rolled at The Learning Experience since they opened back in September. We have been very happy with the center. The price is excellent, they provide snacks and lunch, and have a good curriculum. My child loves to go and is sad when he has to leave when I pick him up. The manager and teachers are very personable and very responsive to feed back. read more

My son attend this amazing learning center and my husband and I couldn't be happier. My son had never been in daycare and as soon as he stepped foot in the center, he refused to leave! The director, Mrs. Jill, is amazing in every way. She is attentive, caring, loving, and genuinely loves as well as looks after each child in every class. The secretaries and staff are just the best group one can ask for. My child has already learned so much in just 2 months. He is progressing everyday and that's thanks to the curriculum but a special shout out to Mrs. Jill yet again for staying on top of things and making sure everyone is happy, safe, and well taken care of. We are super happy read more

Before the school opened, I put down a $125 deposit to ensure my daughter has a spot. The director told us that we can tour the facilities and meet the caregivers ... and then ultimately decide if we would like to continue with TLE. If we didn't, then we were told we can get our deposit back as long as we told them before they opened. We ended up finding a nanny so when I emailed them in SEPTEMBER, I was told by numerous people the check was sent. I kept following up each month and never heard anything back. It is now JANUARY and I STILL haven't received my $125. I'm going to stop in this week to get my money back... they keep saying "oh corporate has to send it to you".... well, that's probably why I would NEVER go with a "corporate daycare". read more

I just took my child out of this unprofessional school. It is the holidays and I received multiple calls about a late fee. The school is in a high end neighborhood with people that work hard for their money and try to spend quality time with their families in their busy schedules. For me and my wife to receive many phone calls during the holidays for a late fee shows how desperate this particular company is. Not to mention the tuition is way too high for a staff that is not well equip to excel your child's academic needs. We have better options and your child does as well. Trust me, stay away from this subpar learning experience. read more
