He’s had some great teachers including Ms. Dylani and Ms. Connie. Everyone is so nice and makes you feel like you are family here. All the teachers are great and I love the curriculum that is provided for the kids. My son is always happy to go to his classroom and Ms. Faunda even helped me finish potty training him. I am so thankful. Now with my daughter here as well I was so scared of leaving her, but they are amazing in the infant room and have even helped me get her to finally take a bottle! I definitely recommend TLE to anyone who is in need of a daycare.

My son loves the teachers and staff. They take such good care of him. Ms. Sonia and Ms. Kareshia have been so welcoming and are the best! Two of the teachers, Ms. Connie and Ms. Justyce have really made a difference. They are always so happy and happy to see all of the students. Also, the facility is so clean and safe. I have been extremely impressed! ----- Author: Bailey Hawkins Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/27/2023, 1:27:55 PM Review: I cannot say enough amazing things about The Learning Experience. Both of my boys have been at TLE from the infant age all the way to VPK and we still continue to bring them at school age for days there is no school and the extra activities the school puts on. The teachers and management are always going above and beyond to let you know your child is safe, loved and cared for while getting an amazing education. The director, Jordan, is so personable and does an amazing job at giving the best care, keeping the parents well informed, and prioritizing safety. I’m glad to know that we will always be apart of the TLE community. ----- Author: Sky Bennett Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/17/2023, 2:34:27 PM Review: We absolutely love TLC. Our son has blossomed beautifully since starting VPK there. His teachers are wonderful and all of the staff is welcoming. Our son has a beautiful bond with Mrs. Connie there and we love and appreciate the love and time she gives him. She is his person and his safe place when there and we couldn’t be more thankful for the role she plays in his life. We love you Mrs. Connie! ----- Author: dylani gousman Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/16/2022, 9:01:06 PM Review: The teachers make the leaning environment safe and comfortable for the children! Definitely a great recommendation for anyone looking to enroll! ----- Author: Emily Gray Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/24/2022, 11:36:28 AM Review: Our oldest has been going here since he was in diapers...everyone there is like family ..they keep the place clean and safe and love your children like their own ♡ ----- Author: Angela Gaff Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/31/2022, 5:06:42 PM Review: TLE and it’s amazing staff at San Jose location have been incredible. I have always felt safe entrusting my child’s well being in their hands! Ms. Connie is Amazing! Always greeting every child by name in the morning and Ms. Dominque is incredible in the afternoon at pick up! They are a dream team! And their love for each child is genuine. All teachers are great. Mr. Jordan and Ms. Sonia are wonderful too! And I cannot forget to mention Ms. Justyce! She is so sweet! I highly recommend TLE at San Jose. Thank you Staff! ----- Author: Carolina Vicuna Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/21/2021, 3:19:33 PM Review: This place is amazing! My son loves it and he is excited to come to school every morning. He has been enrolled for a year already and I regret not having him there at an earlier age. The curriculum is great! The teachers are very dedicated and they go above and beyond helping not only my son, all the children! to learn and grow in a very safe and healthy environment. I'm very thankful with the whole staff for all their hard work and dedication, I never worry about my son while he is in school, I know he is having fun while also learning. Shout out to Ms. Connie, she has such a positive energy! She is always sooo sweet and caring! We all love her! Ms. Nicky, truly amazing as well! We greatly appreciate all that you do and highly recommend this place! ----- Author: Douglas Sirls Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/26/2021, 6:19:07 PM Review: Both our children have attended TLE and we cannot say enough positive things about them! Everyone goes above and beyond to make sure our children are safe, and learn through play. Our oldest started kindergarten and is excelling due to all their hard work and dedication! We can’t thank them enough for all they do! ----- Author: Amy Hernandez Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/26/2021, 5:41:21 PM Review: We love this company. My daughter loves going to this daycare everyday. I love the app that they have because they update us with pictures and activities that they are doing. Another reason I love this place is my daughter gets to try different foods that are healthy. I am so happy that I have found this place and I can’t wait for my twin babies to go here after there born. Everyone is so nice and friendly and helpful. You want a great and safe environment for your kids this is the place. My daughter has learned so much for only being there a month. She sings in the car after daycare, she talks about her day when she didn’t with her old daycare. They have a inside and outside playground for the kids so if it’s raining they still get play time! Knowing my daughter is safe but also having a blast makes me as a full time working mom feel great that I have this wonderful place my daughter goes to every day that she loves too!

Does this day care follow a specific curriculum?

Yes

The reviews mention a curriculum incorporating STEM, sign language, Spanish, music, yoga, and world geography. This demonstrates a learning curriculum beyond basic childcare.

The staff (leadership and teachers) are incredible and has very low turnover, the curriculum is excellent and they go above and beyond with things that they do for the kids. Very very pleased and highly recommend! ----- Author: Nathan Kohley Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/25/2024, 5:14:20 PM Review: TLE Mandarin has been exceptional. Our daughter has been at this location for over a year and they were so great with helping her to adjust when we started as we moved from South Florida. Our daughter loves going to school here and they do a great job with their curriculum. ----- Author: Kemasha Thomas Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/29/2024, 11:00:26 PM Review: TLE Mandarin is absolutely Amazing ! The entire staff goes above and beyond to provide quality care and foster a nurturing learning environment . My son has attended TLE for almost two years and has grown and excelled tremendously . From our very first encounter and tour led by Mr.Jordan I knew right away that we made the best decision for our son . The culture at The Learning Experience Mandarin is very warm and welcoming . I can say without a doubt that my son loves and adores his teachers and shares a special bond with Ms. Kareshia , Ms. Xiomara , Ms.Sonia, and Ms.Dominique . A strong foundation is key in Early Childhood Education and I’m 100% certain that TLE Mandarin exceeds that . Their curriculum not only focus on the basics but goes above and beyond with emphasis using their STEM curriculum . My son has been introduced to sign language, Spanish , music, yoga, and world Geography . He has also learned to read and write . I am certain that The Learning Experience Mandarin has fully prepared my son for success in Kindergarten and beyond . My family is beyond grateful for this opportunity and would definitely recommend TLE Mandarin without a doubt . ----- Author: Jackeline Soto Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/12/2024, 7:10:28 PM Review: My almost 4 year old has been going to The Learning Experience for about a year and a half, and I am amazed at the growth I have seen in my child. She has learned so much and has really come out of her shell. Choosing childcare is probably one of the toughest things a parent has to do and that is why I am so very grateful that we chose The Learning Experience. From the day we took our tour with Sonia and Connie, I felt their genuine dedication to the kids' education and safety. I feel there is a culture at The Mandarin Learning Experience, led by Jordan, the director, that I had not seen when my older kids were in daycare. It says alot about an establishment when you walk in and you are greeted by name and not just as mom.That is evident everytime we walk in the building and we are greeted by Jordan and Taytum or when my daughter just has to give Dominque hugs goodbye or even by her sheer obsession with Justyce and Kareshia or Natalie when she was in the twaddlers room. I can say without a doubt I feel seen and heard and I know that my child is also seen and heard. She is cared about as an individual by all the teachers she comes in contact with and not just a child who is generating income for a company. Aside from the wonderful care and attention my daughter receives on the daily she is learning so much! Their curriculum goes beyond the basic letters, numbers and colors I feel my older kids were learning at 3yrs old . She is learning about Music, Yoga, Science and even Sign Language. As you can tell by my lengthy review, I could go on and on about how happy we are with our daughter's learning environment and I hope that by sharing our experience we can ease another parent's concern and help them to make this very difficult decision. ----- Author: Carolina Vicuna Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/21/2021, 3:19:33 PM Review: This place is amazing!

My daughter has been going here for about 2 1/2 years and she has come such a long way and learned so much! The staff is absolutely amazing! The curriculum is great and I could not ask for more! My daughter loves it here (especially Mrs. Nikki). Thank you TLE Mandarin for everything you do for us and our littles!!!

Love the TLE family! The teachers and staff are amazing. As a first time mom, everyone helped in making the first time to daycare transition as smooth and effortlessly as possible. My little one enjoys going to daycare everyday now and looks forward to it. Everyone makes you feel right at home. Highly highly recommend especially if it is your first time as well. So grateful for the TLE family!

This school is absolutely amazing!! We love the way they care for our daughter. She has only been going here for a few weeks and she's already saying things like please, eat, and more in sign language and she's only one year old! I can see that she loves the teachers and the staff and they love her. If you are looking for an amazing school/daycare look no further they are the best!!

Where do I start? I am just so grateful for the entire staff at The Learning Mandarin. My daughter started here in January after being at home with my husband and I for over a year. We were so worried that she wouldn't adjust and that she would give them such a hard time. Ms. Kereisha thank you so much for calming my nerves before my daughter even started and during those first couple of weeks i was a mess but you made everything so much better so i do appreciate you for that ! My daughter has grown sooo much i just cant believe it! She talks more, knows her colors, and just overall has grown and i thank the entire staff at the learning experience. A few things that i love about this school is that everyone knows that kids names and that matters to me. Additionally, they always have things for the children to participate in and feel included such as spirit week. I would recommend this place to anyone !! Thank you all for taking care of my baby girl !!

If you want your child to love a place unconditionally, then enroll here! This school is simply PERFECT! My daughter had a hard time adapting to other schools, she is very spoiled and I lived a daily struggle with my heartbreak at having to leave her crying at school... but here all that has changed, my daughter arrives smiling, jumping, arrives happy, says goodbye to mom and loves going to school! There are no words to describe the professionalism, dedication, love, attention, care, and education that the entire TLE team at this unit has! My daughter is completely in love with this place, the teachers, and all the staff! I can only thank this school and the TLE team at this unit! My daughter has developed SO MUCH, and every day she learns something new! I AM COMPLETELY GRATEFUL TO GOD AND THE TLE TEAM AT THIS UNIT ❤️ My family and I love each and every one of you!

Miss Briana!! Is the absolute best!!! We have seen such a positive change in our daughter since attending TLE mandarin. Our daughter comes home everyday talking about how much she loves her school and Miss Briana is a huge part of that. The curriculum is outstanding and my husband and I feel the staff is so warm and friendly. If we could have Miss Briana follow us as our daughter’s teacher all through school it would be a blessing. Leaving your child in the care of others while working is so hard to do, but TLE has been like leaving her with family who are teaching her and instilling great values;) if I could give this center 15 stars I would! Thank you for all you do!

I popped in one day after work, urgent to find a place as our child care situation suddenly changed. Kareshia offered to take me on a tour right then and there. That was the first green flag. If a facility is willing to show you their facility/teachers without scheduling, they are confident in what you will find/see. I immediately got a “good gut feeling” that moms know. The facility was clean, welcoming, and engaging. The staff was friendly and welcoming. My son started in August in the one year old room. The first day I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back. He felt so comfortable with his teachers, Mrs. Brittney and Mrs. Laura. Every morning I dropped him off in early care, Mrs. Connie and Mrs. Justyce were there to welcome him with open arms and a smile. He ADORES them! Every day, he was involved in so many fun, engaging activities and experiences. They do the cutest crafts, sensory and tactile investigations, and their day is jam packed with a. Variety of learning experiences. They follow an amazing curriculum, with fun characters for each area of learning (fitness, music, math, character building, etc). I LOVE checking the app throughout the day to see what he’s learning and doing! When it came time for my son to level up to “twaddlers,” I was so nervous and sad for him to leave his teachers. But the staff makes the transition seamless for the kids! He visited his new room each day, in growing increments and as it came closer time to move him up, they couldn’t get him to go back to his toddler room! We love his twaddler teachers, Mrs. Natalie and Mrs. Sharmaine, too! From the front office staff, to early care teachers, to his daytime teachers, everyone is amazing. They are down to earth, welcoming, communicative, caring, flexible, and all around wonderful. We can not say enough positive things about TLE Mandarin and our experience here!

We have been going to TLE Mandarin for over 2yrs now and we absolutely LOVE it! My child is extremely happy there and has learned so much in her time with TLE. The administrative staff makes sure to create an inclusive, family oriented atmosphere in your day-to-day interactions as well as events and activities hosted beyond school hours. 10/10 recommend!

The facility is very clean and professional. Within a month of my daughter starting she has learned to sit up, roll over, and is starting to talk at 7 months. The teachers are very interactive with the parents and keep my wife and I informed on everything via their app. They send us pictures and let us know every time she eats and is changed. Thank you guys for such a good job.
