The Learning Experience - Mesa-Dobson Ranch

TLDR: they gave my son food he’s allergic to for weeks. And then retaliated when I threatened to make a report. First off they’ve messed up my billing 3-4 times and caused additional fees for me which I don’t get repaid for. Also the “multi child discount” doesn’t apply to all children which is weird. My son has been going here for a few months now. Day 1 there’s an older teacher with Blonde hair that when he walks in said “are you sure he’s 3 he seems small” we nodded. And she proceeded to ask THREE MORE TIMES if we were sure. YES I know how old my son is, thanks. I constantly come in hearing the afternoon teachers yelling at the kids. My son doesn’t respond well to yelling he will shut down. We talk to him like any other adult at home. They will send your kids clothes home wrapped in poop if they have an accident instead of disposing of it. The smell was vile and ruined not just that pair of underwear but the shirt and pants they stuffed in there too. Oh and I brought back some clothes they lent him and said “sorry made sure they were washed first” and they responded “oh thanks! Most people don’t!” So do they get washed on site or just tossed on another kid?? He started having more and more accidents so I looked through the reports and he was given 1% milk every day. He is allergic to lactose. I even filled out a sheet for this. I had left some lactose free milk for them to use but apparently they want you to pick it up on Friday and bring it back Monday or they’ll just toss it. (Lactose free milk isn’t cheap) which they never said at any point. So finally after weeks of me sending messages to stop giving my son milk I finally sent them a text that said “if you keep giving my son what he’s allergic to I’ll report you” and FINALLY I got some sort of response and confirmation it wouldn’t happen again. But lo and behold I get a call from CPS two days later because someone at the daycare was “concerned” about their home life meanwhile they’re feeding our kids food they’re allergic to. So they retaliated for me threatening a report for something I shouldn’t even have to report. All of this I have deemed it is not a safe place for my son to be. They require two weeks notice to leave, I submitted that today and thank god we are on vacation part of next week so he doesn’t have to fully attend and potentially be harmed.

We absolutely love this daycare! The staff is caring, attentive, and truly invested in the kids. The environment is clean, safe, and full of positive energy. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my child is learning, growing, and happy every day. I would highly recommend this place to any parent looking for quality care!

Choosing a daycare for your child is one of the hardest decisions you make as a parent, and I can confidently say enrolling my 1-year-old here was one of the best decisions I’ve made. My child is 2 now and has been attending for a year, and the growth I’ve seen has been incredible. They offer quality meals, educational curriculum, summer events, spirit weeks, parents night out, and after school events like trunk or treat, Valentine's dances, breakfast with Santa and so much more! From the very beginning, the staff has been attentive, patient, and genuinely loving. They don’t just “watch” the kids, they truly care about them. They know each child’s personality, needs, little quirks, and they go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, supported, and valued as well as the parents! Safety is clearly their top priority. The environment is clean, structured, and well-supervised at all times. As a parent, that peace of mind means everything. I never have to worry when I drop my child off, I know they are in caring and capable hands. Communication has also been outstanding. Whether it’s updates about their day, milestones they’re reaching, or quick check-ins, I always feel informed and included. They treat parents like partners, and that makes such a difference. Most importantly, my 2-year-old is happy. They walk in excited and come home smiling. Seeing that joy and confidence grow over the past year has meant more than I can put into words. I are beyond grateful for the love, dedication, and heart this daycare pours into these children every single day. I would recommend them without hesitation to any parent looking for a place that truly feels like a second home to your little. The director, Kimmie, is personable, welcoming, and present! You will not find this level of care, commitment, and communication at any other daycare.

We absolutely love this daycare and could not be more grateful for the care our daughter has received here. The staff is truly amazing—warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. The director, Kimmie, is both caring and professional, and communication is always fantastic. We are consistently kept informed and feel completely confident in the leadership and staff. The center itself is beautifully designed to cultivate an engaging, nurturing, and learning-focused environment. Our daughter has attended TLE since birth, after I had to return to work, and from day one I have felt she was cared for as if she were their own. The curriculum is outstanding. By the time my daughter turned three, she knew her ABCs, could count to 20, recognized all her colors, and was fully potty trained—before her third birthday. The growth and confidence we’ve seen in her are incredible and a direct reflection of the care and education she receives here. Like any place where young children interact, illnesses can happen, but Kimmie ensures extra precautions are always implemented and followed. Thanks to their diligence, my daughter has not been sick at all this flu/cold season. We feel so fortunate to be part of this community and cannot recommend this daycare highly enough.

I have a family member that attends this facility. I have had occasional visits to the facility. They have a very nice outside playground which means the children are not inside a building all day. They can be outside having fun and being a child. Any playground is going to be little dusty and dirty but a small exchange for the enjoyment they get out of the outdoors. I have been sent pictures they get off the daycare app and the child is always smiling and laughing. The lunch and snacks they serve the children are always fresh and healthy. Anytime I have been to the facility for an event the staff has always been friendly and attentive. I have been to many day care centers and find this one to be top notch. It's not a new and grand building with a bunch of frills but it is well cared for and very clean.
