Our experience with TLE has been a tremendously positive one so far. When we first toured their brand new facility during the summer, our daughter immediately wanted to jump out of my arms to get stuck into the toys. I was impressed with the size of space in the toddler classroom, the openness, brightness, pleasing aesthetics, and obviously its cleanliness. It was the first thing that drew me to it - we wanted such a place for our daughter, as the previous school she had been in was dismal in these categories. They also had a new playground for my daughters age, along with indoor space for inclement weather days. Surbhi, the business manager/owner, was warm, welcoming and friendly, and since weve joined, she has continued to be attentive to our needs, knowledgeable and helpful with any concerns. From the beginning, I liked the idea of a set curriculum, guided by the national organization of TLE, with the teachers designing the lessons - it made me hopeful that my daughter would find this room a stimulating environment - not to mention the TLE standards and policies on cleanliness, security etc. (all parents are given key fobs to access both doors to get to their children). We are constantly talking to and playing with my daughter at home, and for the first month, I didnt notice anything special, but then it was clear, she was learning new things in her room - not only does she loves the other children in her class, practicing their names at home, but she was coming home with new words and actions. Every day she runs into school, excited to see her friends. And every afternoon, she runs to show us books and puzzles she likes when we go to pick her up. Before we leave, the teachers give us a handwritten sheet of what the Toddlers did that day. Every day they have sensory and art classes, my daughter paints, colors, glues - the have physical times for dancing, yoga, creative movement - they have story time -theme lead activities. Its wonderful to read each day what theyve been doing. Weve been very happy so far and I have and would definitely recommend them to others!

Love this place! On a practical note - theres literally no where in the Riverdale area where you can drop off so early and pick up at a normal evening hour. Many of us who work in the city cant meet the requirements of these local day care centers (literally laughable - youd get to work at 9:30 and would have to leave at 4:30 to make any of the local school early drops or late pickups). The facility is engaging, vibrant, clean and super safe. The staff is always happy, loving, and attentive. My son has been there for 2 months and Ive seen amazing learning taking place - letters, colors, numbers...the curriculum is so much fun and engaging! The monthly, weekly breakdown by units is fantastic - always something new and exciting. He loves going every day - the staff are just incredible. If youre looking for an amazing experience for your baby/child - you found it.

Great place. We have had our baby girl there since she was 6 months and watch her transition over the last year to from the infant room to the the toddler class. She is now 17 months and Im amazed how much she has learned and developed from being in such a diverse and educational-driven setting. We choose TLE over the cheaper in-home daycare services where your baby are pretty much sitting the whole day in someones apartment watching TV with other kids that may live there. At TLE our daughter has developed strong social skills and she interacts well with other kids and adults in public. TLE rooms are very clean and well lit and the staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. I love the transition process where as your baby grows they move on to higher functioning rooms in a timely manner that isnt rushed or delayed. I highly recommend TLE Riverdale.

Our son has been at TLE for six months, since he was four months old, and I cant say enough great things about the teachers and the facility. I know that he is safe, and he loves spending the day with all of his friends. The center is flexible for working parents, and Ive enjoyed meeting many of them and getting to know their children. The teachers are enthusiastic and sweet, just the kind of people I want to watch and play with my baby. I also appreciate the transparency of the center. At least for infant and toddler, you get a report every day so you know how your childs day went, highlights of the day, and any supplies they need. I was very apprehensive about leaving him to go back to work, but now I feel confident and lucky to have found such a great place for him to be every day.

Not only is the The Learning Experience an exceptionally clean, safe, and convenient place for your child to spend the day away from you, but the teachers at The Learning Experience are absolutely the best around. They are the most caring, loving, funny, creative, and energetic ladies that you will ever meet. My daughters teachers are always happy to see her in the morning and sad to see her go in the afternoon. I get a full report of her daily activities, and usually a funny story or two. I am reminded daily that when she is not with her biological family, she spends her day with her TLE family. Keep up the great work!

I am so happy to drop off my almost 4 year old daughter to this school. The curriculum is big here, using L.E.A.P, which is interactive and keeps my daughters interest and when she comes home, i am confident she has learned something new! My daughter is learning more each day both socially and academically, and making friends too!. When we first started, she was a little nervous, and the teachers and staff really put me at ease. I know she is in good hands, and i dont worry at all. The play area is fantastic too, and they go outside as much as possible when the weather is nice.

We are a photography company in Riverdale named “Say Cheese Kidz.” We recently photographed the students at TLE Riverdale and I have to say that it is the cleanest, nicest daycare facility! We are in several nursery schools and daycares throughout the school year and TLE Riverdale is among the nicest. The staff and teachers are very loving and caring to each and every child. The floors and surfaces are spotless! I cant say enough about the wonderfully nurturing environment TLE Riverdale provides. We look forward to another wonderful photo day in the fall at TLE Riverdale!
