The Learning Experience - Berkeley

★★★★Paul Michael

My son has been at TLE Bayville since he turned 1. I appreciate the staff because they take over when I walk in the door. The before care is so important because someone like miss Jalimat had to take in a cranky sleeping boy and comfort him when I leave. She smiles and consoles and gets him to relax and stop crying. I have to be able to trust where my son is; not so much the establishment, but the people. Miss Nikki takes him in when she’s waiting for staff to show and never has an issue keeping him safe and calm. Then, there’s Miss Janet who gets him through the day with calm voice and happy smiles. She’s such a gift to his day. Then, we have ms Dena. Administrators have just as much importance because although she’s not with my son all day, she keeps me informed of anything I need, makes the phone calls when something happens and is my sounding board for all of my concerns. Thank you for all that you do. It’s really about the people who come in and show up; not just being there but having the compassion and energy to make the day safe, fun, and educational.

3 of my children have attended TLE Berkeley for the last several years. We've grown through every classroom level from infants up through school age, including full-time care, before and after care and summer camp. The school is always clean and well maintained. The staff and teachers are all wonderful with the kids. They are caring and very accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend!

I toured numerous daycares before making a decision, especially since my son was home with me for the first two years of his life. It wasn’t easy finding a place I truly felt comfortable with, but from the moment I came here, I knew it was different. They are unbelievably flexible, which has helped me so much with my, unpredictable, schedule. My son has had such an amazing experience. I’ve seen him grow and learn so much since starting only a month and some change ago. Miss Marissa is incredible. She’s so personable and genuinely cares about the kids and the parents. My son warms up quickly, on drop off, when he sees her and that alone tells me how safe and comfortable he feels. Miss Dena, the director, is just as amazing. She’s humble, easy to talk to, and always takes the time to answer any questions I have. You can tell she truly cares about both the children and the parents. The rest of the staff is just as wonderful! Knowing my son is in a place where he is well taken care of gives me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful we found this daycare.

We are so glad we chose The Learning Experience Berkeley for our son! From our first tour, we knew this was the best place for him to be. The staff is exceptional, so friendly and caring. Our son loves in infant room staff, Ms. Dana and Ms. Justine. These 2 are the absolute best! The daily updates of pictures, naps, feedings, etc makes it so much easier to be away from your child. I would recommend this facility over and over again. It’s safe, clean, and the staff is top notch!

My wife and I had a family emergency that caused us to enroll our daughter in a day care. We scheduled an appointment to tour The Learning Experience in Bayville and immediately fell in love. From the moment you walk through the doors (that you have to be buzzed into) you’re met with a clean and friendly environment. Miss Nicci is professional, courteous , and personable, greeting children with a comfort that puts parents and kids at ease. Miss Marissa is phenomenal, actively engaging with kids and knowing each child’s needs and particular “language”, often knowing what my daughter wants before I can figure it out. Miss Janet is a blessing , making the transition from having our daughter home with us to sending her away for 8 hours a day go as easy as possible. This combined team fosters an atmosphere where kids are comfortable to interact , express themselves, learn valuable social skills, and feel at home while providing parents the comfort knowing their baby is being taken care of. If I could rate these higher I would
