Author: John Young Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/18/2024, 9:01:22 PM Review: Our time at this facility has been nothing short of PERFECT. There’s absolutely no way to list everything we love about this place without typing for days, so I’ll try to be brief, but sheesh! We couldn’t be happier! From our very first tour to even now, we’ve always felt at home here. The energy is extremely welcoming and you can basically feel the care in the air that they have for everyone that comes through the front door. In fact, you’ll probably be greeted with a huge smile from Reese at the front and from the very first step inside, you’ll know you’re in the right spot. We have our little one (our little peanut) in the infant room and I have got to say, there were some nervous thoughts about bringing her anywhere for our first time, but each one of those concerns have been erased completely. We have the privilege to have Madison, Ashley, and Amarilis taking care of her, and every single one of them feels like family. So much show that we even canceled our plans to move an hour away for the sole purpose of being close to this daycare. We actually moved next door now! I have got to say that they make everything, from communication to care and above, soooo simple that “The Learning Experience” wasn’t a learning experience for us at all. It all comes so natural, so easy, and we couldn’t be more excited to stay with them for the next few years! I swear they are raising future presidents in this building! ----- Author: La Toya Collins Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/27/2024, 9:34:49 PM Review: This daycare is fantastic! I was a nervous wreck when my son started as an infant at 3 months old. It put my mind at ease knowing that not only is this facility new and clean but it is super safe and secure. Not to mention, the playground is super cute and also includes a splash pad. The staff are warm and kind; which makes my son very comfortable and cared for. My son is now 9 months old and is flourishing well beyond our expectations. Can't wait to continue to see his development as he progresses through TLE-Odessa. ----- Author: Kara Worth Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/5/2024, 11:16:05 PM Review: We just put our 6 month old in daycare. It’s been a week, and we love the infant room teacher Maria. She is so good with our little one. We also are first time parents so we had many questions but the staff was super helpful and answered all our questions.

The staff and everyone up front, Ms. Reese, Ms. Hema and Ms. Pam are so welcoming and friendly! My kiddo loves school and even the younger sibling loves coming to drop off and pick up. Great school, safe and friendly learning environment. ----- Author: La Toya Collins Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/27/2024, 9:34:49 PM Review: This daycare is fantastic!

Letter of recommendation for Ms. Katie for teacher of the year :) To whom it may concern: My name is Jilianne Vega. My 2 children have had the pleasure of interacting with Ms. Katie at TLE Odessa for about a year now. I‚Äôd like to nominate her for teacher of the year. Even though Ms. Katie is a floater, and I only see her every so often, she always greets myself, and my kids with a smile, and goes out of her way to brag about what my kids did at school that day. I personally wish she‚Äôd be a lead teacher, because she‚Äôd be great at it. That being said, my oldest has selective mutism, and she knows how much we struggle to get her to talk at school, and go potty, but every time Ms. Katie is covering for Hazel‚Äôs class, she always stops what she‚Äôs doing and comes over to tell me at pick up time that Hazel was talking A LOT and going potty. Last Friday, she even went out of her way walking out to her car to catch my husband and I in the parking lot at pick up to tell us how awesome Hazel did in class that day, and how much she was talking and interacting with others, how she went potty all day, etc. It really did put a huge smile on both of our faces. That kind of gratitude towards my family and children are appreciated more than words can describe. My youngest is a handful, we all know it, but still love her to death. She covered her class this past Monday, and we asked her to help us potty train even though she‚Äôs not in the 2‚Äôs yet since Harper wants to potty train. All day she took her potty, and she barely peed in her pull up, and at pick up she bragged about how good Harper did on the potty, how she was nice to her friends, and Harper‚Äôs clothes were even clean when we picked her up (which doesn‚Äôt happen often). So, I appreciated her being in the same outfit as drop off and working with Harper to potty train her. Ms. Katie is honestly a great teacher (although all the teachers there are awesome). She‚Äôs young, has plenty of energy to juggle little ones all day, and is amazing with the kids. I hope she wins this award, and in my opinion, she deserves to be TLE Odessa‚Äôs 24-25 teacher of the year üòä Sincerely, Jilianne Vega
The teachers and staff are fantastic! The curriculum and engagement of the kids is great! I am sorry, but the director is not. VERY High turnover. She comes off as rude (as if she doesn’t want to be there). She is late in responding and returning messages. She is not engaged and not welcoming at all.
TLE Odessa has been a fantastic learning experience for my daughter, who has been attending for over six months. The new owner, Heema, has brought a fresh and positive energy, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. Director Desi is incredibly attentive and dedicated, always going the extra mile to support both students and parents. We especially love the updates on the app, with pictures that give us a glimpse into our child’s day. The progress we’ve seen in her development has been amazing. Highly recommend TLE Odessa for any parent looking for quality early education!
As a first-time mom, finding the right place for my child was both exciting and nerve-wracking, but TLE Odessa has truly exceeded my expectations. From day one, the staff has been incredibly welcoming, making the transition so much easier for both me and my little one. The daily updates give me such peace of mind, knowing exactly how his day is going, what he’s learning, and how he’s socializing. I also love the open-door policy with the management team and owner—it reassures me that my concerns or questions are always heard. Seeing my child thrive, grow, and genuinely enjoy coming to school every day is the best feeling. I’m so grateful for TLE Odessa and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a warm, supportive, and engaging learning environment!
We couldn’t be happier with TLE Odessa and the wonderful environment they provide for both children and parents. The facility is well-maintained, inviting, and thoughtfully designed for early learning. One of the things we appreciate most is their excellent communication—daily updates keep us informed about our child’s activities, progress, and overall well-being. Their open-door policy with the management team and owner is another standout feature, making it easy to ask questions, share feedback, and feel truly involved in our child’s experience. It’s clear that the entire team is dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive space for young learners. We highly recommend TLE Odessa to any family looking for a high-quality early education program!
We’re so happy with our decision to put our little one at TLE Odessa! Desi, the center director, along with the management team and owner, have created such a warm and welcoming environment. The daily updates with photos and details about our child’s day give us so much peace of mind. The teachers are caring, the facility is always clean, and we’ve seen so much growth in our little one. We couldn’t have picked a better place!
My daughter, now 8 months old, has been at TLE since she was 3 months old. It’s been incredible to see her socialization skills, focus, and interest grow. Her teachers consistently create age-appropriate activities that she truly enjoys. I receive regular updates, and I can tell she’s well-cared for because she’s always so excited to see Ms. Madison, Ms. Ava, and Ms. Keerthi. As a new mom, it’s reassuring to know I can trust the care she’s receiving. I can’t praise her teachers enough—they are truly the best and deserve all the recognition. I also want to mention her early morning teachers Ms. Melissa and Ms. Ashley, who she completely lights up for as soon as she sees them. I’m so proud of our decision to choose TLE
TLE in Odessa is the place you want your children, the curriculum is amazing. teachers and staff are incredible, super welcoming, very caring and all around amazing!! I’d give it 10 stars if I could.
Best daycare hands down! Coming from having a really bad experience at TLE Oldsmar to a complete new experience here at the Learning Experience Odessa! We love this daycare! My kids have learned so much and I love seeing their pictures of them doing activities! My kids teachers are absolutely the best! Miss Melissa have been a blessing for my 4yo! Miss Yari is so loving and caring with my 2yo! I’m very blessed and lucky! The director is amazing and the rest of the staff is amazing!
I am so thankful for Ms. Mariel and the entire TLE staff. Ms. Mariel is an amazing teacher and treats all her students with so much love and kindness. My son enjoys her and all the lessons she puts on for her class. He has learned so much and is thriving for his age. I wanted to give a huge shout out to TLE & sincerely thank Ms. Mariel for loving my son as if he was her own.
