Author: Yareliz Kaltenbach Rating: 4/5 Date: 2/5/2024, 3:35:29 AM Review: 02/05/24 Update My oldest child is now in the preschool classs and she loves her teacher, Ms Garcia. She is learning so much! My youngest has been at the daycare since she was 3 months old (shes now 2). As an infant, she really struggled anytime a new or unfamiliar teacher entered the classrooms. She would cry so much at dropoff. We always figured out how to make the transitions. Damarys was incredibly patient and loving towards her and we appreciate the staff doing what they could to help my girl settle down. With being able to finally go to the classrooms, it has been a great experience to speak to the teachers about their current lessons so that my husband and I can continue the lessons at home. My oldest lovesloveslovesloves Ms. Yudanis and Ms. Garcia. Both teachers do an excellent job and are very sweet with the kids, which I think puts the kids at ease. The one con, in my opinion, is the turnover rate of the younger staff. We've seen a lot of young teachers come and go and worried about how my girls adapted to the newer teachers. Overall, this daycare provides a great foundation academically. Original comment: My daughter started here when she was 4 months old right after Covid hit, so the ability to really get to know the staff has been a challenge. The app seems very primitive and has room for improvement. That being said, the curriculum is superb and engaging, and the infant teachers and staff are awesome. My daughter seems to really love coming here and I can't wait to see how she does as she transitions into the other classrooms as she gets older. ----- Author: Destinee Bluford Rating: 1/5 Date: 12/28/2023, 9:07:41 AM Review: To start off my children was only here for a month that should tell it all. They are way too expensive you can tell they only want to cater to a certain crowd. Not welcoming at all. In the infant room they only have Spanish speaking teachers. So the communication barrier is difficult . I was very confused on the changing schedule because if you change my baby every two hours why is her she always in a change of clothes and her clothes will be soaking wet. Then you could tell that when I made my complicated it got back to them because they were rude to me. On top of that I had told 4 different people in the front office that my baby is allergic to strawberries that next day she was fed strawberries. You have to pay extra for early drop off as in early like before 8am so I paid just for all the kids to be placed in one small room so what is the point of paying extra. Poor teacher looks overwhelmed. They are meant to only do preschool because they definitely don’t know how to take care of any children that can’t speak for themselves. On a positive note Ms. Treasure is an amazing preschool teacher my 3 year old loved her. She would cry anytime she called off. Another teacher that was great that my 3 year old loved was Ms. Megan awesome and friendly as well. Another red flag is when my daughter has to go to another class room because Ms. Treasure is absent. She refuses to go with her teacher. I would too if I was a child. All this teacher does is yell at the kids. Very nasty towards the children. Ms. Dominique is great once she gets a hang of everything. ----- Author: Lejla Salihagic Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/25/2023, 8:24:00 PM Review: TLE makes my husband and I feel at ease to send our 13 month old son to daycare/school. He is so loved and cared for by the teachers and executive staff and you can tell he loves them too. They have a great learning program to help him advance and have fun too. We receive daily updates on his diaper changes, feeding, napping and pictures which is amazing! My only concern was the transition to his class from infant to toddler was very hard, 1 day, instead of a 2 week soft process that we were initially communicated. Aside from that hiccup, he quickly adjusted. I understand that the teachers and front office staff are doing the best they can and was probably just part of a timing issue. We look forward to making many more great memories in the coming years with the TLE Bloomingdale family.

Author: Anita D Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/25/2024, 12:55:50 AM Review: If you are looking for a daycare with an excellent varied learning program safe enthusiastic dynamic satisfactory for your children of this age, without a doubt this is the place for them. I am happy to have chosen them as their first school. The organization and cleanliness also counted for me, the hygiene of the place is important, the environment where they spend most of their time, they are still small and as a responsible mother every detail influenced my decision to select them. We had a very nice experience here. All the teachers we have had have been great ‚ú® and the administrative staff have also always been helpful and attentive to us. I 100 percent recommend TLE ----- Author: Toney Williams Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/26/2023, 8:27:55 PM Review: Great daycare hands down, my daughter has been going there since 7 months old, she's now turning 4. Knowing that my child is safe while I'm at work is stress free. The learning programs are awesome my daughter started learning sign language around 1 years old. I highly recommend this location.

Author: Alexandrea Auen Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/19/2024, 12:12:18 PM Review: My daughter has been going to TLE for over 2 years and participated in the VPK program this year. I was amazed how much she learned. TLE goes above and beyond when it comes to curriculum. I would recommend them to anyone who is seeking childcare Servies. They prioritize safety which gives me peace of mind when I leave here there every day. ----- Author: Kaileigh Fisher Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/22/2024, 8:26:58 PM Review: I’m so thankful to have my boys at TLE Brandon! The staff treat them like family and my boys are so happy to be there. My infant is in Mrs. Alison’s class, along with Mrs. Cel and Ms. Kiana. They are amazing, I cannot say enough about them! He literally jumps out of my arms to get to Mrs. Cel in the mornings. My toddler started out in Ms. Yanissa’s class with the help of Ms. Keeleih (who he is obsessed with) and has now transitioned to Preppers with Ms. Yudanis and Ms. Prachi. They all have been so patient with him and I can tell he truly feels loved by all of them. Their L.E.A.P curriculum has helped both of them thrive and learn at a fast pace. My toddler is great with his ABCs and is now counting extremely well. He has become very independent and proud of his accomplishments and my infant is already starting to talk and learning sign language, it makes me so happy to see. I love this center so much and everyone in it. ----- Author: Orledy López Rating: 1/5 Date: 5/23/2023, 8:50:39 PM Review: Curriculum is pretty good. Teacher engagement and teaching it is really poor. ----- Author: Tori Michael Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/9/2022, 2:52:30 PM Review: We have had such an amazing experience with The Learning Experience! We have been sending our son since he was 3 months old and he’s been so loved and cared for by all of his teachers — Ms Cathy, Ms Val, too many to name. Last night we attended a curriculum night so we were able to see his classroom and talk to his teachers. Everyone is just so wonderful and always there to answer all of my questions! ----- Author: Regina Saint Jour Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/8/2022, 10:12:41 PM Review: I have two children enrolled in TLE and the program is absolutely amazing. Miss Cathy is a great director and Miss Valerie is extremely welcoming. The curriculum is stellar. Everything from coding to camping is taught. I love that the school incorporates all extracurricular programs including art, math, coding, camping. The children leave extremely well rounded. My daughter also took a keen interest in learning Spanish and I like that she knew more than just a “word of the week.” She knew letters, numbers, and colors. I can speak volumes. My son who’s 1 already knows some sign language. Is you’re looking for a great program TLE is it and bubbles is the best school mascot. ----- Author: Thomas Tetil Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/9/2021, 11:16:58 PM Review: We love the curriculum, teachers do an awesome job with the kids, and with the app I am always informed on how she is doing and what she is learning! Question: Does the Learning Experience offer any vacation weeks? or are the parents required to pay for the week when we pull our children out for vacation? ----- Author: Crystal Martinez Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/7/2021, 10:42:08 PM Review: My daughter has been going to TLE Bloomingdale since she was 3 months old . When I toured the facility the director Cathy was going over the curriculum with me I could not believe they were teaching infants and one-year-olds Spanish and sign language. Secondly I never thought my daughter would be using sign language to express her needs later. My daughter is now 18 months old and uses her sign language on a daily basis to tell me when she’s done, when she wants more of some thing, when something hurts her. It is absolutely amazing that my baby can communicate with me before she’s able to speak the actual words. I thank the amazing staff at The Learning Experience on Bloomingdale for making this possible. And the best part of all is the staff makes you feel like family. I know when I leave my baby there I’m leaving her with people who care and love her and she loves them. Best feeling a working mom could ever have. Mrs Cathy, Mrs Val, Ms Cindy, Ms. Cel, Ms Yanis , Ms Yaritza I thank you for being amazing.

I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional care my son receives at the learning experience. My son has been attending more than 3 years now and from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The staff is not only incredibly nurturing but also highly skilled, creating a safe and stimulating environment for all the children. They also provide excellent communication, with regular updates and feedback from the teachers, making me feel involved in my son’s daily activities and progress. It's clear that the staff genuinely cares about each child's well-being and development. I highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching daycare experience.
Highly recommend Bloomingdale TLE. My little one loves VPK so much. Especially Ms.Maria and Ma.Val. So thankful for finding a school my little one loves. ü•∞ü•∞
I absolutely love this daycare! There aren't enough good words to describe it. My daughter has sooo much fun, she's happy, she's learning so much and the best part.. shes always excited to attend. Her last daycare my daughter used to fight me in the morning before going there and she'd always say her teachers were angry and she didn't know what she learned when I'd ask how her day was at pick up. She LOVES her teachers now and everyone else here! I've seen such an improvement in all areas, she'll tell me about her day and the all the fun learning activities she does and with big smile on her face. This daycare is awesome, I'm so grateful I found them and enrolled!
My child absolutely thrives at TLE Bloomingdale. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, and they've taught my toddler so much. My child practically begs to go to daycare every day, which is a testament to how much they enjoy their time there. If your looking for a daycare for your little, look no further! I can't recommend TLE Bloomingdale highly enough!
Our kids have been attending since they were babies. They treat all the kids like family, they are learning so much, and always have a great day at school.

TLE has been a wonderful support for me and my foster babies. They are attentive and truly care about your children. Within two days everyone knew their names as they walked down the hall. I love the app that gives routine updates and pictures. Couldn’t have picked a better place to watch my kiddos every day!
The Learning Experience - Bloomingdale is top of the line, best of the best for childcare. I was very nervous when I had to put my babies into daycare but I can honestly say that I couldn’t have made a better choice. They go above and beyond to ensure all the children are well taken care of, happy and loved. I love the app that parents have access to when their children are enrolled. They post updates throughout the day as well as adorable photos (of course if you want them to take photos of your babies). Miss Dominique, Miss Valerie, Miss Jennifer and Miss Haley assured me from day 1 that they would take care of my littles and love them as their own. They will let you pop in and watch your kids on their cameras (in their private office) and they allow you to call throughout the day (and trust me I call everyday hahaha). The first week I called every hour but now I am down to 1 - 2 times a day. My 19 month old is in the toddler class and Miss Deanna and Miss Chanel were phenomenal helping him adjust to his new daily routine. They hold him when he is missing us and they are amazing at positively redirecting him. Now it is to the point where my son will cry for Miss Deanna. Every morning he holds his arms out, jumps in her arms and blows us kisses and says “bye bye I go outside”. My 6 month old is in the infant class and Miss Cel and Miss Alison happily greet us every morning. My baby gives us big smiles and is always happy to go to them. We are also very excited for their awesome summer program coming up where they offer unique and fun activities for the kids if you’d like your child to attend and every Wednesday is water day! They also practice safety with the kids like fire drills and intruder drills and they have a very well structured safety plan. Overall, The Learning Experience - Bloomingdale is the perfect childcare and if you are looking for that, my advice to you as a parent that wants to see my children happy and thriving is to look no further because you won’t find a better learning experience for your little ones. They offer their services from 6 weeks - VPK! I would 1,000% recommend them. I am so happy to be a part of TLE family. And that’s exactly what it is, a family.
