I am thrilled to write about The Learning Experience of Matawan. I have sent my daughter there for 3 years, so I feel that I know the school very well. I could tell right away that The Learning Experience of Matawan was a loving and nurturing environment, and I wasnt wrong. I would call TLE every day to check on my daughter, and they were reassuring and kind to me. When I picked her up from The Learning Experience of Matawan, she was smiling and happy. One of the huge reasons is because of the staff. The staff are always bubbly, happy, kind, caring, and fun. They always greet children and parents as they enter the building. My daughter runs up to her past and present teachers for hugs. As a mother, I want my daughter to feel encouraged, nurtured, and loved, and she receives that everyday at TLE-Matawan. The administration is no exception. They are always visible and available. I have recently had surgery, and have gone out of their way to help my family and I. As someone who works in public education, I see the difference that The Learning Experience of Matawan makes with each child. They provide an excellent curriculum that facilitates growth in all educational areas. I am so impressed with all the knowledge my daugher possesses. I love the enrichment education she has received. This includes the L.E.A.P. Curriculum (Learning Experience Academic Program). My daugher has so much fun with the L.E.A.P. Interactive boards that use touch-screen technology and interactive learning games to further enhance her education. My daughter has learned sign language, phonics, foreign language, manners and etiquette, physical fitness, and philanthropy which teaches children the value of selflessness and giving. I love all the charity work they do at TLE, including working with Make-A-Wish, helping families in need, breast cancer, and more. Every month they have a charity or a philanthropy giving event. I am impressed with their enrichment kit programs that are provided extra with no additional cost. My daughter has learned music, math, science, dance, Yoga, performing arts, and physical fitness and is able to take home her kit at the end of the session. She has received kits in theater, dance, Yoga, music, and more! As someone who has a strong appreciation for the arts, I love this extra education. Once my daughter was potty trained, she was able to go into Make Believe Boulevard , a miniature Main Street, USA. I love this interactive classroom designed to develop and expand socio-dramatic play amongst children. As an occupational therapist who works with children, working on these skills are very important to me. Also, as a pediatric OT, I love how TLE Matawan facilitates various developmental skills, such as speech, fine motor, visual perceptual, visual motor, and gross motor skills. The staff assesses these skills to ensure developmental progression. When my daughter received early intervention speech therapy, the teachers worked with the speech therapist at the daycare to increase her speech. We saw tremendous improvement with everyone in her life on the "same page" and using the techniques. As a working mom, I love that I can bring my daughter to TLE-Matawan and I know that she will be provided with a healthy lunch! I dont have to worry about making her lunch everyday. My daughter loves the lunch that is provided at TLE-Matawan. She often will ask for seconds and thirds! I highly recommend The Learning Experience of Matawan. There is no place I would rather bring my daughter everyday. I feel truly blessed that my daughter has them in her life. Thank you.

Lets face it....no one wants to pay 1000 dollars a month for preschool. But this is the reality of any good quality preschool program. You can be comforted by the fact that TLE Matawan is worth every penny. My son has received such a good quality education here. It is amazing how much he has learned in the past 6 months. And that is priceless. Not does TLE provide a great quality education but I am also very pleased with the program for their emphasis on other important life skills such as philanthropy which is not only taught but shown to the kids on a daily basis. From Spanish, to sign language and world cultures the TLE program shapes the children into well rounded individuals at an early age. The staff is pleasant. The director is welcoming and extremely understanding and flexible. The hours are convenient and probably most important for busy moms like myself, healthy food is provided daily. I am really very pleased with the program. Couldnt ask for better.

In response to Emma H...I have had all three of my children in TLE since 2010. I have known the infant room teachers for about 4 years now. They are nothing but loving and caring, EXPERIENCED caregivers and moms. Currently, my 8 month year old daughter is in the infant room. Every morning she is greeted with a smile and hug. In fact, she lunges toward her teacher, reassuring me that she is comfortable and ready for mommy to go to work. These two women have made it easier to leave my baby girl knowing they are caring for her the way I would. When I had my third child, it was a no brainer. I would bring her to TLE simply because of these two amazing, loving women!

Horrible!!!!!! The management team teach the teachers horribly and if the staff are treated horribly then so are the, kids. Management never helps the teachers when needed!!! If the staff arent being well treated then their not treating the kids well and Ive witnessed it!!!! The school is money hungry they dont care about the kids. They pact the rooms to capacity so kids are getting the attention or learning experience they should. They are always switching out teachers and management team no worker stays there. if you want stability honestly respect someone who will care for your kids and teach them DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!!!!!

Please do not put your infants/toddlers in this school! I just went for a tour of the school as I was waiting for the owner to give me pricing I saw on the monitor a teacher in one of the infant rooms shaking a baby in its crib. I mean she was moving the crib back and forth w/ force trying to get the baby to sleep. This really scared me and I even said something to the owner and she said it just looks like that because the crib has wheels. I am sorry but that baby was being shaked like crazy. Then I saw this same teacher put the baby in a bouncy seat and again shaking the baby w/ full force. Very scary.

Our son has been attending this TLE location for about 2 months. The teachers and staff made us feel welcomed and secured to move forward with enrollment. The teachers have been consistent, nurturing and understanding with the transition. We have noticed a big improvement in his social and communication skills. The director, Ms. Trish and assistant director, Mr. Nico email weekly news and are always a phone call away when you need them. The attentiveness and professionalism that our family has experienced is like no other and you won’t be disappointed.

The Learning Experience in Matawan is a top notch state of the art facility for our children. My son attends the kindergarten program at TLE and I am super impressed with the curriculum and the Kindergarten teacher. She is excellent in every way and cares very much about her students. He has attended other centers for preschool and prek and by far this center meets my childs needs. Thank you to the wonderful and caring staff, the director and the owner for maintaining an excellent center for our children to learn.
