About The Learning Experience:

At TLE, we make early education joyful, engaging, and fun so children are happy to learn, play, and grow. Our curriculum focuses on the six ages and stages of early childhood development, engaging children in hands-on activities that encourage exploration and problem-solving at their own pace. This provides a foundation for children to learn, play, and grow under the care of our nurturing teachers and staff.

We’ve created a cast of characters that become our learners’ educators, partners, and friends through their preschool journey. Each character has a unique personality and interests, bringing learning to life through fun and imagination.
