Author: Amber Singletary Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/4/2025, 3:30:14 PM Review: The Learning Experience Fish Hawk location is phenomenal! They are very friendly and approachable. They welcome my grandson the welcome learning experience classroom. His teachers communicate very well and keeps me updated on his progress and well being through out the day. The front office staff are very professional and ready to answer any question you may ask. ( I want to give a shout out to Ms. Brittany; thank you for ALWAYS having a smile on your face when we come in the door.)They address each child by name as they come in; in-which calms the atmosphere to a nervous and timid child who is not ready to say by to their parents. As a retired educator I look for those qualities in the school; staff, cleanliness, curriculum and teachers. So, if you’re looking for a school for your child; I encourage you to come to take a tour of the facility and talk with the staff. Ask as many questions you may have because they are ready to answer them all and welcome your child. ----- Author: Tamara Hawkins Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/15/2023, 11:31:50 PM Review: Our children have been with TLE since infancy and for the last 6 months they have blossomed with our move to TLE Fishhawk! The teachers and leadership are always warm but most importantly transparent. Communication is all-star and always timely. The curriculum isn’t just a suggestion it’s a part of the every day plans and something we share in when our oldest brings it home. The teachers in both of our children’s classes are some of their favorite people on the planet. TLE Fishhawk is such a blessing to our family and I can’t fathom the thought of our children attending anywhere else. ----- Author: Sarah Bowes Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/10/2023, 1:29:23 PM Review: Our son has been coming here since he was 3 and loves it. The staff is so caring, compassionate, patient and truly adore all the littles that attend TLE. I highly recommend this school for their curriculum, cleanliness, and amazing staff. ----- Author: Mylitta Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/27/2022, 2:43:12 PM Review: My son has been at tle for some time and the people are very kind and have been teaching there for years. It has a family feel and they care about the students. I appreciate everything they have done for me and my son. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a good school. The curriculum also helps them be prepared for kindergarten and other grades most kids are reading by the time they leave tle fishhawk. ----- Author: Kelsey Ross Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/23/2022, 7:35:25 PM Review: The Learning Experience Lithia has been great to my three children who have been there since they were Infants all the way through VPK. The curriculum is great for each age group and keeps them wanting to learn more. I recommend bringing your child(ren) to The Learning Experience Lithia for a great childcare experience all around! ----- Author: Curt Holden Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/31/2022, 9:51:55 AM Review: Our search for a daycare took us to five different places in the Brandon, Lithia and Plant City locations. We visited The Learning Experience - Fish Hawk last. We were blown away! It's more of a mini school than the others which seemed to be more of a baby sitting service. The learning experience has age appropriate curriculums, a bright and colorful facility (cleaner than most hospitals). We paid close attention to the kids - the looks on their faces told the story - engaged, happy and having fun. The outdoor area is shaded with a padded artificial turf and even has a splash zone. The peace of mind that comes with the TLE app that updates us with alerts and pictures of our grandsons day is fantastic. The entire staff seem to really want to be there and love their job. We know we made the right decision everytime we ask our grandson how did he like school today - He just smiles and claps. I'm sure when he starts talking he will have fun stories to share. ----- Author: Gloriann Figueroa Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/19/2022, 4:47:46 PM Review: The learning experience puts an emphasis on safety, community and curriculum . I love this school and welcoming environment! ----- Author: Nina Sriram Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/18/2021, 9:19:31 PM Review: This is such a wonderful school. The owners and staff are extremely friendly, professional and welcoming. They treat us like their own family. I highly recommend this school for their superior care & excellent curriculum. Thank you TLE.
Does this day care work with autistic children?
Yes
One parent explicitly stated that they informed the center that their child is autistic. However, there were negative experiences with handling the situation. This shows the day care has experience with autistic children, but the quality of care for such children is questionable.

Author: Lisa Headley Rating: 1/5 Date: 4/3/2025, 10:22:52 PM Review: I started send my son in 11/2023 and told them he is autistic and wanted to make sure they are able handle that. I was told yes and told they have cameras and etc. Things were going good but then a new teacher started after the new teacher I notice my son started acting odd. Then 1/31 I had my son tested for autism and he was on the spectrum. I shared this with the center and director. After this I started getting reports daily over stupid things and was getting concern, they were targeting my son. I called corp concern they reassure me this is not the case. Fast forward April 1 2024, I saw the police was at daycare when I went to go pick by 2 year old son up. When I walked through the doors the director was calling me about what was going on. I guess the teacher was aggressively handling my child and another parent saw it was super concern. The daycare DID NOT CALL THE POLICE! This parent sat there for 2 hours and were the ones that called the police. This daycare wanted the owner show up before calling the police. Even the police told me they were trying hide the incident. There are NO RECORDING for this because TLE does not record footage at all and only live fee and they don't tell you. This teacher was out of ratio 1 teacher to 21 kids during nap time. They didn't call me for 5 hours after this happened. My son had a bruise on his back. They told me at first Ms. Lacey was not being fired for it which was a lie! The director quit right after this. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!!

Our little one has been attending TLE for the past year, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He absolutely loves it! His teachers are incredibly patient, kind, and dedicated, creating a nurturing environment for the kids. We’ve seen so much growth in him. He’s learning new things every day and has a fantastic time playing, dancing, and socializing with his friends and teachers. We’re truly grateful for the love and care they provide!
My daughter has been attending The learning experience about 2 yrs now. The teachers & staff there are great! My daughter loves it she gets such great care. They show compassion to there kids overall my daughter is happy there!
Our little guy loves to go each day!
We couldn’t be happier with this daycare. Everyday we are greeted with a smile from the staff and teachers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and great place for your child to learn and grow.
Switching to the staler is done one of the best decisions we’ve made for our son. I know he’s in good hands he’s cared for he’s safe and he’s getting the attention. A toddler deserves. On top of that, he has fun.
Wonderful staff. My son loves them all.
I have been bringing my child to The Learning Experience in Fishhawk for over a year now, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. The center provides a joyful, engaging, and fun environment for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. The staff is incredibly nurturing and dedicated, ensuring that each child receives personalized attention and care. One teacher who stands out was Ms. Tiffany. She is truly exceptional in her role. Ms. Tiffany's enthusiasm and passion for teaching are evident in every interaction she has with the children. She creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes the kids excited to learn and explore. Her ability to connect with each child on a personal level is remarkable, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about their development and well-being. And may I say, VERY good looking too ;). Overall, I highly recommend The Learning Experience in Fishhawk to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child. The combination of a fantastic curriculum and outstanding teachers like Ms. Tiffany makes this center a truly special place for young learners.
The best people I could ask take on watching our little one while we work! As a first time mom with PPD and PPA I struggled to find a place till I walked into TLE Fishhawk. Ms Shaury is so good with my boy and all the teachers that are around toddler an and now my soon to be toddler b little man! Through all my baby’s sicknesses they have all been so sweet and fantastic at TLE! It’s good to know my boy is loved and taken care of here!
