When our son turned 18 months and my husband and I began looking for daycare for our son, we knew we wanted a safe, clean environment for him to learn, grown, and socialize with other children his age in. We visited a few centers in the area, but The Learning Experience of Warren was miles above the rest. There were numerous things we noticed on our initial tour of the school - not only were the rooms clean and well-stocked with toys, books and other learning tools, but the staff was friendly, clearly enjoying the time they were spending with the children. Most importantly of all, the children we saw were happy and enjoying learning, too! I knew immediately my son would thrive in this environment. My son is now three, and we have not regretted our decision for one single moment. I am not exaggerating when I say that the Center's teachers and management staff have almost become a second family to us. They will do everything in their power to be there for you if needed, without hesitation, and while the Center has many children, they welcome my son as he walks through the door each day by name and with smiles on their faces. They go above and beyond to build relationships with the families, with extra activities such as the summer picnic and Fall festival -events that , we as a family, look forward to each year as it gives us an extra opportunity to see our son happily interacting with his teachers and friends. My initial prediction that my son would thrive here was right on - not only is he having fun, but he has learned so much! With the help of his caring teachers, he has learned his shapes, patterns, numbers, how to spell his name, even sign language and his colors and days of the week - in Spanish! He truly enjoys going to school - he runs happily into the Center with a big smile on his face every time I drop him off. As working parents, we really couldn't ask for more. read more

The Learning Experience of Warren (TLE) is a wonderful place to send your children! My daughter is 1 year old and has been attending since she was 10 weeks old and absolutely loves it there! My husband and I looked at other daycares in the area and we were horrified by what we saw. Once we walked into TLE of Warren, it was as if the sun had come out! I knew almost immediately that this was the place where my daughter would be attending. It is very clean and the staff legitimately cares about the children. What impresses me the most, is that the owner is there almost every day and knows all the children's names. To me, that is very important, as it shows he is passionate not only about the children, but about the quality of his business. TLE of Warren is like our second family. They hold a family picnic on Saturday in the summer and a Halloween parade in the fall and Santa comes to visit in December! They also have Parent's Nights Out a few times a year, where you can drop your child off at the center on a Friday or weekend and have some time to yourself to get errands done or catch a movie! To top it off, the teachers there are all top notch. They are very friendly, competent and I feel very safe leaving my daughter there for the day. Even though my daughter is only a year, in the infant room, they take her for buggy rides, read her books, do art projects with her and teach her to sit at a table to eat, drink from a cup, sleep on a cot and other daily living skills. The center also has a strict policy on illnesses which helps to keep them from spreading to other children and they frequently disinfect the toys and the rooms. Without TLE, I don't feel as though she would have progressed as nicely as she has. My husband and I are extremely satisfied with the center and look forward to many more years of the positive environment of TLE of Warren for our daughter. read more

We have/had 2 children go to TLE- My son started going to TLE when he was 3 months old- he is now 5 and has graduated their preschool program and my daughter started TLE when she was 6 months and is now 19 months- happily attending her twaddler class. From the beginning the staff and management were very personable- and it quickly became like a second home. We like that every staff member knows our kids names and greets them with warm greetings at all times. Our children spend 40+ hours a week in childcare- it was very important that they feel safe and loved. TLE has great field trips, extra classes your child can partake in-- picnics & festivals for the family, a free parents night out every once in a while-- lots of extras that I know that not a lot of centers do. I worked right next door- so it was great to be able to see the kids during the day- but living 40 miles away- we did come to a point where we questioned if we should move them to a daycare closer to home-- Based on numerous factors- size & cleanliness of center, modern equipment (my son misses playing with the smart board), educational programs, and most of all the staff- We decided to keep our children there- We definitely recommend TLE! read more

It has been one of the best decision I and my wife took to send our three girls to The Learning Experience there in Warren! my daughters and us love the place because of the warm and friendly atmosphere and the quality of the curriculum. management is so apporoachable and personable, they know parents in names and treat us like a family! my daughters had a very smooth transition after we moved from Mahwah to Watchung which we didn't expect, but thanks to the crew in TLE, who smartly helped in that. My oldest went to school and now she reads a chapter book in less than an hour and help her classmates with math because of the perfect foundation in TLE. My middle and young daughters are so creative making projects and bring thire projects home every day, then they both enjoy the show and tell on Friday and prepare well for it. Even when Sandy hit last year, and I and my wife had to go to work after 2 days of the storm, TLE found a solution for us and were so accomodating with even providing lunch and drinks to the kids! All what I can say, we were extremely comfortable going to work every day, knowing that our daughters are in good hands in TLE. Great Job TLE. read more

My son has been at The Learning Experience of Warren since he was 8 months old, now he attends Kindergarten here. This is my third child so I have had a lot of experience with childcare schools. I must say this is the best school around. We recently moved further away from TLC of Warren but still decided to keep our son here. The staff and owner are outstanding and truly care for the children. There is a low staff turnover which shows the place is kept well. Also, the school offers a lot of activities such as sports classes, yoga, and swimming. Academic classes include Mandarin language, smart boards, phonics and computers. The hours of operations are excellent for working parents and at affordable prices. We did consider getting a nanny to care for our son at home but this choice is by far much better in every way. My son is so...happy here, he has many friends and socially he is like the mayor in the school, ha! He never wants to go home! This school is like a second home to him. We are extremely happy and grateful to be part of TLE of Warren. We would be confident to refer any of our friends/family to this place. Thank you so much TLE of Warren! read more

When I think of TLE, I think, peace of mind. My son and daughter have been attending TLE for the last year and a half and at this critical time in their lives when their brains are developing faster than ever, they are constantly challenged to meet their learning potential. My son started using Mandarin vocabulary he had learned from his language lesson recently; while apple picking he proudly announced that he could say apple in Mandarin, and he did! My daughter is only 3 and is already learning how to write and do basic math. The thing I value most about this school, is that my children are happy. They are truly happy to arrive in the morning, and when I pick them up they ask to stay a little longer! I can go to work and focus on my responsibilities without worrying about them. Lastly I will mention that they offer a great selection of meals for the kids, which saves me time and headache of preparing lunches every morning while trying to get everyone ready and out the door. To sum it up: I love the teachers, I love the curriculum, and I simply love this school. read more

My first daughter who is now 8 went to TLE for two years, and they were two fabulous years. I had put her in two other daycares prior to this one in the area and this one far exceeded my expectations. She had truly amazing teachers who loved and cared for her. I now have my second daughter at the center and she is in her 4th year here. It is one of the most amazing places for a child to grow up. It has become like an extension of our family. We love everyone there, and we know that they love our child and they are always looking out for her best interests. The owner and the directors are wonderful people who understand the importance of childhood, both in terms of academics and having fun and making memories. I can not say enough wonderful and amazing things about this school, I have recommended it to numerous co-workers and friends, and they have all been more than pleased. read more

The Learning Experience is part of a chain, yes, but it is run with the heart and soul of a community school. The director and owner greet us - ALL of us - by name. The owner is present every single day - from the time I drop off (9) to the time I pick up (5). They go above and beyond to accommodate us - financially and logistically. And the teachers and staff love what they do. They are adamant about maintaining student:teacher ratios and are always on top of safety. My three-year old recognizes numbers, letters, and letter sounds. He signs, uses a handful of Spanish words and expressions, and I notice his social skills are advanced compared to his peers. But most importantly, he loves going to school and I love that I can trust he is in safe and caring hands. The Learning Experience came recommended to us from several friends, and I very happily recommend them to others. read more

Since 2010, we have been using The Learning Experience in Warren, New Jersey. We enrolled our two children in the preschool 2 and twaddler program. They both did amazingly well in their learning and becoming social able individuals. Many people are amaze at how well our children can socialize and we credit the staff at The Learning Experience with that. We are always shocked by some of the things our son is learning (and remembering) in Kindergarten. He loves school and adores his teacher too. Our daughter (no longer at TLE) still talks about the teachers from TLE and all the fun things she did there. The fact that she remembers many great times at TLE makes us so glad we found this place. We will also be enrolling our newborn in January 2013 and expect nothing less but excellent care for our precious one. Mary and Brian Gauthier read more

Our children has been attending this place. The staff is friendly and know the children, we truly believe they treat our child with love and consideration, the teachers are affectionate and make a good job at looking after the children and making the experience a meaningful learning experience. We like the fact the classrooms are large, and spacious. Children have enough space to play. The Staff is strict with the illness policy, which we like as it keeps diseases as contained as possible. Food is provided by a contractor, in which a great menu has been added recently to include healthy and great meals. we are very satisfied. My wife ads 25 minutes to her daily commute to drop her, while I add 20 minutes to pick our daughters. There are closer places but this daycare is very clean, and managed with the heart. read more

I have been a happy client of The Learning Experience in Warren, NJ for 6 years! We started there in 2009 with my first son, and are still attending with my second son. I must say, there are many things that I would consider above standard at this daycare and the staff is top on that list! The teachers have always taken the best care for my children and have helped them grown into smart, confident, independent and caring individuals. As many expecting or first time parents, I went to many daycare centers for tours. I was and continue to be pleased with the cleanliness, safety, and upkeep of the facility. I highly recommend if you are looking for a place you can be confident will take the best care of your little one(s) while you work, then The Learning Experience in Warren is it! read more

My kids have been going to this daycare since they were 5 months old and they are now 2 and 5. I truly feel like family from the minute I step in the door. From the morning greetings to the teachers smiling in the hallway and the director and owner personally asking how I'm doing. Unfortunately we had a death in the family and the owner and director went out of their way to see how they could help. All the teachers were very accommodating to our needs and requests. They even organized several families to make dinners to make it easier on us. Everyone at the daycare goes out of their way to make sure each parent and child are happy and their needs are met. Everyday when I drop the kids off, it feels like I am taking them to family, not a day care. This school is truly amazing! read more

When looking for a day care for our daughter my husband and I were looking for a place that was clean, friendly and promoted learning. When we toured The Learning Experience in Warren we found everything we had been looking for. The staff was friendly and the children seemed to enjoy themselves. Our daughter has never cried when being dropped off and she's always happy when we pick her up. We have never seen a child cry outside of the infant room when the babies first wake up and we've never seen a staff member without a smile. Knowing that our daughter is comfortable and happy with her surroundings and the people around her makes it easier to leave her at TLE. read more

Both of my children went to TLE, Warren. My older child was a slow speaker. He joined TLE at 2 months, and within a week, he was not just talking, but fluently running "Show and Tell" shows, and then doing math and writing soon after. He was one of the advanced kids at his public school in both reading and math, thanks to TLE. My little one is not even 4 and demands to do homework everyday. From pattern recognition to match, to reading, you name it, he loves it. And his teachers are always happy to send him home with "fun work/homework" and am always happy to see my very active boy sitting at the table for a good 40 minutes, just chipping away at his HW. Love TLE! read more

My older child graduated from The Learning Experience in Warren few years ago and I still have a younger child at the center. My older child is excelling academically in his current school because of how well The Learning Experience prepared her. My son loves the new Smart Boards, the Mandarin and Yoga programs. The teachers seem to be very happy, caring, and motivated all the time. The center always looks clean, staff is very friendly and passionate, and management and the owner are always there for us. We are so pleased with our experience and we recommend it to every family. read more

After attending The Polar Express this past weekend we got a full picture of what TLE Warren is all about. Not many schools have events like this one. It was a full packed day with many activities for all ages, and the best part was they had a classroom set up for everyone to mingle. It was an excellent event where we got to officially meet many other families we always say hello to at drop off and pick up time. From the staff, management team, and all the kids who will become friends; they offer a very special place for all children to grow! read more

I can not say enough about how happy my children are at this school. When your child asks "is today a school day" on Saturday and responds with "aww man" when you tell him no. They are clean, professional and my children are learning math, languages (spanish and Mandarin), spelling reading and writing. They have a great schedule and flexible meal plan. I love the fact that if I get out of work late my kids still don't want to go home. read more

When looking for a daycare as a parent your biggest concern is making sure you babies are in the next best hands as yours. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience that we have had over the last 2 years at TLC. I have never worried about leaving my daughter there, and have always felt that they have taken great care of my child. As far as day cares go, you really couldn't ask for a better place. read more

My son has been going here since he was 6 months old and I couldn't be happier. Everyone I've met from teachers to staff have always been amazing and kind. My son at three years was able to count to ten in not only English but Spanish as well. I am truly happy that I choice the learning experience..My family will be very upset when we have to say goodbye. read more
