Author: Jennifer Szczuka Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/13/2025, 11:02:45 PM Review: I toured almost ten daycares around LWR/ Sarasota and instantly felt at ease when I walked through The learning experience. So many of the staff had been there for many years which is hard to find. It’s very clean, secure, and friendly. Ms. Corrina in the infant room made me comfortable in the very scary adventure of trusting someone with my newborn. Everyday I feel like I’m leaving Emmy with her grandma. We have watched Emmy grow and bond and every make little friends over the last couple months. Ten out of ten recommend this daycare facility!! ----- Author: ANDREW KAMP Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/5/2024, 5:12:05 PM Review: From the moment we first met Karina, it was evident that she has a special gift for nurturing infants. Her warm smile and comforting demeanor instantly put us at ease during what can be a daunting transition for new parents. What truly sets Karina apart is her genuine passion for her work. In the infant room, every detail is meticulously thought out to create a nurturing and stimulating environment. From the cozy cribs to the colorful toys and engaging activities, it's clear that Karina prioritizes the well-being and development of each child in her care. One thing that truly impressed us is Karina’s ability to tailor their approach to meet the unique needs of every child. Whether it's soothing a fussy baby, facilitating tummy time, or encouraging early milestones, they approach each interaction with patience, kindness, and expertise. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at this daycare, thanks in large part to Karina. She is truly an invaluable asset to the team, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her caring for our little one. Five stars simply don't do justice to the exceptional level of care and dedication she provides. Communication is also top-notch via the Bubbles and Friends app at the facility. We appreciate the regular updates and insights into our baby's day, including feedings, naps, and activities. It's evident that TLE crew takes the time to get to know each child individually and builds strong connections with both the babies and their families.We wholeheartedly recommend TLE to any parent seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their child. **Update:** Our journey with The Learning Experience began with love from Infant A team with Ms. Karina and Ms. Caitlyn, and it still continues in Infant B with Ms. Maria, Ms. Teagan, and Ms. Heidi! The staff consistently goes above and beyond, showering our little one with exceptional care and attention. As he becomes more active, they introduce him to age-appropriate activities that nurture his motor skills and sensory development, allowing him to thrive! We receive daily updates filled with photos and notes, revealing his happiness and engagement throughout the day. Ms. Staci and Ms. Niki keep the place running smoothly and efficiently. This place has become a true second home for him, and for that, we are profoundly grateful. I highly recommend it to any parent seeking a loving and nurturing environment for their infant! ----- Author: Collin Bieri Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/19/2024, 10:19:16 PM Review: We have had nothing but good things to say about The Learning Experience ever since we switched daycares. Our youngest is in Infant B with Maria and Teagan. They are the absolute best and treat our daughter like one of their own. We can’t begin to put into words how grateful we are for the both of them. It’s such a comfort dropping her off with them each morning. Our oldest is in the Twaddler room with Lindsey and Gabby and they make our daughter want to come to daycare everyday. She bolts into that building and runs down the hall without turning back. She loves Ms Lindsey and Gabby’s hair salon and she surprises us each and every week with the amount that she is learning. We couldn’t be happier with the care they are providing for our girls. We’re confident we’re dropping them off with the best care each morning. Throughout this entire process, management (Staci and Nikki) have been wonderful. If you’re on the fence, send your littles! You won’t regret it! ----- Author: Pure Scent Odor Remediation Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/16/2024, 11:24:15 PM Review: Great school! My daughter’s development took off immediately when she started here. She’s always so happy and brings home the best artwork. As a parent, it’s comforting to know she’s in such a nurturing environment. Miss Maria in infant B is an absolute treasure – her dedication and warmth make all the difference! ----- Author: Mason Fischer Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/16/2024, 9:22:57 PM Review: Love Mrs. Maria in infant b class !!! And love the school. ----- Author: Emily Forero Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/6/2024, 6:44:46 PM Review: We started in Infant A about a month ago. I was home with my daughter for 6 months so the transition to daycare was tough for not only her, but us as well. Mrs. Karina, Ms. Katelyn & Staci have been so good to us. They answered our 1 million questions, and made the transition much smoother than I expected. They send multiple pictures a day to keep us updated on our little one & are great with communication when we pick up/drop off. We are always welcomed in the morning with smiling faces, and our daughter now is happy to be dropped off. She loves her teachers & the rest of the staff! We fully trust the staff at TLE Lakewood Ranch, and will definitely recommend to others! ----- Author: Antonio / Teagan Perez Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/12/2024, 4:01:51 PM Review: Amazing teachers in the infant rooms, very excited for the years to come! ----- Author: Michelle Lawrence Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/24/2023, 8:15:56 PM Review: My family experience with TLE in Lakewood has been amazing. Our daughter is in the infant room - and you can tell they really care about all the babies. They are very organized and we get updates throughout the entire day including pictures! I never have to worry about if my baby is being loved or taken care of - I know she is getting the attention she needs ----- Author: Tara Vogt Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/21/2023, 5:47:54 PM Review: We’ve had a great experience with our 5 month old in the infant room. They have been so helpful in creating a feeding schedule that works for him while at daycare. They send updates and pictures throughout the day so we know how he’s doing. They’re also great at communicating recommendations to help our child have the best experience while he’s in their care. ----- Author: A Nicole Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/11/2022, 11:45:35 PM Review: Honestly I feel so safe bringing my baby here. It was a rough start bc she was just in the phase of “stranger danger” but now she gets so excited when she sees her teacher which makes me worry a little less. Even though she can’t speak that tells me they’re good with her in infant B room! Love the updates throughout the day as well! Wish they had an SR contract :(

Author: Sydney Russo Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/2/2025, 1:32:59 AM Review: I cannot say enough amazing things about this center, Staci, Nikki, and the teachers. They are extremely caring and involved in every child’s needs. From the second I walked in after touring, I knew that my child would be safe here. The center is very clean and inviting. I highly recommend this school to all current and future parents! I want to edit this review months later and say we are still so happy at TLE! Ms. Karina and Ny are a huge part of why I am writing this. They have been so amazing and treat us like family. They go out of their way to make sure we are happy. I cannot recommend this school enough purely due to the amazing teachers and staff… THANK YOU! ----- Author: Kelsey Koronkiewicz Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/13/2024, 3:45:18 PM Review: We have had the best experience with our son attending The Learning Experience! Ms. Naomi and Ms. Liz are amazing! They are always willing to chat for a few minutes at drop off/pick up to share how our son is doing or answer any questions we have. You can really tell they care about the kids and want the best for them. They are so warm and welcoming, and so are Ms. Staci and Ms. Nikki. Every day you are greeted with a smile :) I feel so safe and comfortable dropping my son off. So grateful to have found the best school and VPK program for our son. He also had the best time in the preschool room with Ms. Ny and Ms. Kourtney! Definitely recommended this school! ----- Author: Janie Ziegler Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/20/2024, 5:09:13 PM Review: Staci and Nikki were very informative and thorough answering any questions and concerns I had!

I highly recommend ----- Author: Monte Scotton Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/28/2023, 9:15:48 PM Review: Our son loves all of his teachers and it is comforting to know that he is safe with them and having a good time during the day. ----- Author: Heather Kacos Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/27/2023, 4:25:24 PM Review: Ms. Sandy and Ms. Maria have been absolutely fabulous with our son. They are very mindful of his severe food allergies and put precautions into place to keep him safe which helps ease my very nervous mama heart. Our son constantly comes home talking about things he learned with them, and spontaneously sang us the full ABCs just the other day (he is 2). We wish they could be our son’s teachers forever!! Staci, Shay, and Nikki have also been lovely working with us. They all know the kids and parents by heart there, and the team puts a lot of energy into taking care of the kiddos. ----- Author: K Rob Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/26/2023, 11:48:41 PM Review: I love The Learning Experience and all that it stands for. My children has shown so much improvement academically and socially and I truly love the enrichment programs that are offered . Special shout out to Ms Liz , Ms Crystal and Ms Naomi, you guys have been apart of my kiddos growth and development and we truly appreciate you. Im at peace when I’m at work knowing my kids are well taken care of and they are safe. The staff upfront is very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this school to everyone! We appreciate you all 💚 ----- Author: A Nicole Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/11/2022, 11:45:35 PM Review: Honestly I feel so safe bringing my baby here.

Author: Laura Larosa Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/7/2024, 11:32:29 PM Review: My daughter is in the 3 year old preschool classroom at The Learning Experience of Lakewood Ranch. She is absolutely thriving! The curriculum is amazing. The app is awesome, which shows you your child’s progress and pictures throughout the day. Facility is extremely neat, bright and clean. All school staff is friendly, kind and always has a smile on their face! Staff in particular that has gone above and beyond for my child include Ms. Ashley, Ms. Courtney, Ms. Ny, Ms. Nikki and Ms. Staci. Couldn’t have picked a better school for my daughter to attend! Highly recommend TLE at Lakewood Ranch! ----- Author: Austin Carter Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/5/2024, 7:57:09 PM Review: Our daughter started at TLE a little over a year ago. She started in the daycare program and transitioned to VPK. Between the curriculum, staffing, and facility we are very happy with our families experience at TLE. ----- Author: evie silberman Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/4/2024, 9:15:13 PM Review: Staci was a great help and shared so much useful information about the school and the curriculum. The center was also extremely clean and every employee we were greeted by was friendly and outgoing. I highly recommend!! ----- Author: Abby Toole Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/25/2023, 2:02:24 PM Review: We enrolled our daughter in TLE in August 2022 for the 4-year-old program-The school was a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for and it has been an awesome experience. They also have an app that they used to give updates and pictures. It is used just enough that you feel like you get to see your child, but not to the point where you feel like the teacher is spending all their time updating an app instead of with your child. We are thankful for all the teachers that invested in our daughter especially Ms. Denise and Ms. Crystal. They truly cared about her so much. The curriculum includes a workbook that they did several times a day. They also use smart board technology to have interactive lessons keeping kids engaged in the learning activities. Thank you to the TLE for making the last year of daycare an incredible experience for our daughter Jesse.

TLE is the best! Our daughter went from a family member caring for her to this daycare center at 1 year old and they made the change so stress free. Ms Jasmyn is the best and we are so happy with the center ❤️

We are so happy with the care our infant son receives at TLE! The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and truly dedicated to the well-being of each child. From day one, they made us feel comfortable and confident that our baby is in great hands. We really appreciate the daily updates and photos—they give us peace of mind and let us see how happy and engaged he is throughout the day. The environment is clean, calm, and full of age-appropriate activities that support his development. I have a PhD in Education and can confirm that the classrooms are supplied with everything the little learners need! We couldn’t ask for a better place for him to grow and thrive. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a nurturing and professional daycare!

I cannot say enough positive things about this center! We recently moved to the area after attending another TLE location for 2+ years and I was nervous for the transition, especially as one of my kids has more of a hard time with change. We are a few weeks in and I seriously have never seen my kids this happy to go to school everyday! The teachers, staff and director are so communicative, proactive, welcoming and incredibly kind. It has been such a positive change for us and I highly recommend!

My nephew is thriving under Mrs.Liz and Miss Naomi's care. He is so smart and I know it comes from his teachers caring so much about his needs. The teachers he has even had in the past leave a lasting impression. He is on VPK and already reading, writing and mastering his addition skills.
