I’ve had a wonderful experience at TLE. The teachers are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and well-being. They create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. A special thank you to the assistant director Pavi, who goes above and beyond to support both the children, families and teachers. Her kindness, professionalism, and dedication makes a real difference and helps create a welcoming atmosphere every day.
Larissa AgueroJun 30, 2026This is an amazing location. I've seen so many different day cares but TLE in wheeling is by far one of the best ones I have seen. They have excellent staff and great quality care for our kids. My kids have enjoyed growing and learning here. They are always excited to get up and go everyday. They have so much fun. TLE is always very flexible with any Situation and are understanding. Thank you TLE for all you do!!!
Diana OrtizJun 24, 2026I am truly grateful for The Learning Experience in Wheeling. For how awesome and loving they have been with my daughter. It’s almost been a year that Jayleen has been there and they always treated us like family. All the teachers knows her and always happy to see her. I know she’s in good hands with the staff. Thanks to Ms.Vicky for telling me about TLE and Angela always trying her best to help me with paperwork and making sure Jayleen was settled, happy, comfortable and able to attend TLE. And of course to make my life easier as a mom. As well as Ms. Pavi always helping me with questions I have afterschool and making sure they get answered. My daughter did start with Ms. Abby. I loved how she was always helping her and making sure she was feeling welcomed since it was her first time without me. She loved it ever since. She then went onto preschool 3 and is now with Ms. Madi. Jayleen and I love her. She’s helped her grow so much. She is great. She Always loving and asking about Jayleen even when she not in school. I love how she always updates me when I pick her up every afternoon as well. The good and the bad. Jayleen has so much fun participating in all the different activities. I was always impressed and excited with the app, being able to see instant updates on everything from what she is learning, activities, what she ate, and love seeing pictures of her throughout the day. TLE has been great and I’m happy I made that choice for her.

They do an amazing job creating engaging activities that support both academic learning and social-emotional growth.
