Powered by GoogleOur 2-year-old is in the Twaddler class at The Learning Experience, and she absolutely loves her teacher, Mr. Evan! It gives us such peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring and capable hands each day. I enjoy seeing updates on the app multiple times a day: food, activity, potty and picture updates. We also truly appreciate how involved and attentive the ownership/management team is at this location…it makes a big difference. Having meals included is another wonderful benefit that makes busy family life so much easier. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the amount of staff rotation outside of her primary teacher. We completely understand that the long hours require shift changes, but having more consistent teachers in the classroom would provide even more stability for the kids. Overall, we’re very grateful for the care and dedication shown to our daughter and would definitely recommend this center to other families!
I absolutely love the facility and the staff. Everyone is so nice and friendly. My son is very well taking care of in the infant room. He is flourishing and learning so much. When my spouse passed away I was not sure of what to do on getting my son into daycare. I called TLE, and they helped me every step of the way. Sara, Hailey are absolutely wonderful. My sons teachers Ms Donna and Ms Caline are absolutely fantastic. This is the best decision that I’ve made for my son is enrolling him in The Learning Experience!!!
TLE of Manahawkin has been nothing short of wonderful over the past 4 years for my child! They are wonderful with their communication, learning activities, and guidance to set him up for success in Kindergarten.
This facility and staff have been so instrumental in helping my child with potty training, behavior and routines. Everyone is eager and dedicated to the children they look after and clearly maintain a fun and engaging environment. My child has progressed in leaps and bounds just in her first few months and I couldn't be happier. Ms Courtney, Ms Kelly and Ms Dayna who run pre k 1 are pure sunshine and my daughter adores them.
Both my daughters have attended TLE of Manahawkin since they were babies. My oldest had a beautiful preschool graduation ceremony. The girls both were placed in their wonderful infant rooms through the fantastic preschool program. My favorite parts of the day are when I get photos from their app that fills me in on their day. They also have educational games on the app that my children enjoy using. Their impressive curriculum and philanthropy program have prepared my girls for kindergarten. I appreciate the that their hours are 630am-630pm allowing flexibility for working parents. They also close only a limited amount of holidays opposed to other private preschool daycare facilities, which has saved us from having to take off from work. Administration and owners are always supportive and treat every student like family. The summer camp program offers amazing field trips for the older students and fun curriculum activities for the littlest students. Their before and after care has been an amazing support. My oldest daughter aged out of TLE and still took the Stafford school buses to school in kindergarten because she loved doing her homework with the teachers she remembered from preschool, allowing us to work our hours and pick her up later. We love and appreciate all the staff at TLE in manahawkin. It was especially beneficial that they welcome outside specialists, such as my youngest speech pathologist, to come to the school and have sessions there saving us from having go after school hours for her much needed services! The girls loved their hot lunch program, which my picky eater actually eats all they offer! Not worrying about packing snacks and lunch takes added burden off working parents. Thank you TLE of Manahawkin for allowing us to be part of the family 🩷
