  • This daycare has had to be one of the best daycares I've put my baby in since she has been born. She love it so much. All the teachers are amazing, they are very helpful, friendly and polite and fun. I have truly seen the changes in my kid since she has been here. The kids are well taking care of, love, and protected. This is what a real daycare is. Please I advise everyone if you want your kid to be taking care of and loved anf have fun, this is the daycare to come to. Sometimes it's not always about the cost of the daycare but it's about the quality and the love, and care that is given. And this daycare is full of that. I truly thank the staff for all they do.You all have treated my kid like she is one yours.

  • My son started here 5 months ago with no prior daycare experience, and the staff went above and beyond to help him adjust. He now loves going to TLE and loves the staff, his social skills have grown so much, and he enjoys all the fun activities and outdoor play each day!

  • My experience with TLE Shorewood has been truly exceptional. From the very beginning, the directors, Melissa and Christy, have been incredibly supportive—guiding us through enrollment, helping our children get started with their activities, and making the transition into daycare feel smooth and manageable. The teachers in both the infant and twaddler rooms are outstanding. Each morning, they are warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They go above and beyond to ensure every child feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I especially appreciate how communicative they are, consistently providing updates, photos, and details about daily activities. They truly care for our children and help with challenges as they arise. Overall, my experience has been nothing short of amazing. I’m truly grateful for everything they do and would highly recommend this center to any family.

  • We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this daycare. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and truly invested in each child’s development. It’s clear they create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where kids can learn and grow. I feel at ease during drop offs as I know my son will be in great hands. Each and every staff are so nice and his main teachers are great with communication. Highly recommend!

  • I absolutely love this day care!They have gone above and beyond for my son,I was so nervous and scared from the idea of putting my baby in a daycare but from the first time we walked in to the learning experience I knew that’s the right place. I can’t say enough about miss. Amanda she is very loving and caring,did everything to make my son feel comfortable and engage with other kids. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

  • I absolutely love The Learning Experience! They have gone above and beyond for my daughter, who has been attending for over two years. The safety and well-being of every child is their top priority. Each child is treated with respect, kindness, and genuine care. They truly understand that empathy isn’t something children just pick up — it’s something that must be taught, modeled, and nurtured. Which is very important to me as a Mother, so thank you TLE 🩷
