The learning experience was like a second home for my daughter. We loved our time there. As I’m writing this I’m tearing up that we left because we moved to another state. My daughter started at 10 months and went into the Infant B class with Ms.Jessi and Ms.Essence. When I tell you they are phenomenal!!! The care and love they showed my baby girl helped a nervous mom feel calm. I can thank them enough. They encouraged her to grow and learn new things every day. She always came home so happy and well taken care of. They are attentive and she felt so comfortable with them. She then moved up to the toddler room and Ms.Angelita, Ms.Miah, and Ms.Karoline were just as spectacular. The amount of things she learned in this class was amazing. She learned to count to ten in Spanish!! She knows her colors and animals and so much more. They truly provided a learning environment I wouldn’t trade for anything. They assisted with Potty Training and did a great job! Everyone in the building was always so nice and made us feel at home. I don’t think words will ever express how wonderful it was to have had my daughter attend TLE Gurnee. The events, the conversations, the facilities are all a 10/10 ! The app is great and I received picture updates daily. Also love the updates on her daily activities, food and sleep. The communication was excellent and I could call or come at any time. My daughter special diet was met and handled with care. My daughter came home with new sign language all the time! Shoutout to Ms.Ann, Ms.Angela, Ms.Lisa and Ms.Breanna!! Thank you all and I will TRULY miss you all!!
Ariana LatimoreJul 2, 2026I love this daycare for my daughter, I love how the staffs are so friendly & professional. my daughter started attending the daycare when she was a year and half and now she is almost 3. I am so devastated she won’t be continuing with the learning experience coming fall. I want to take this time to thank all the staff and teachers that worked with my daughter. She is always clean when I pick her up, never had issues. Thank you
Kim AmadasunJul 2, 2026Congratulations, Ms. Eniko on teacher of the month! We are so thankful for the love, patience, and kindness you show every day. You’ve made such a positive impact on Ezra, and it’s clear how much you genuinely care about the children. Thank you for creating such a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them to learn and grow. We truly appreciate everything you do, and this recognition is so well deserved! 💜
Emily ClemensJul 2, 2026I cannot praise this daycare enough. They have supported our family through some rough times and throughout the years, have become like family themselves. From the first day when I dropped my child off with Ms Eniko, I knew he would be loved and care for. As he grew and advanced through classes, Ms Courtney, Ms Makia, Ms Michelle, and Ms Savannah all had a big impact and still greet us in the hallways with smiles and hugs. Ms Ashley swooped in with patience, understanding, and love during a very rough transition for my son and made the days easier. Now we have reached our final class with TLE, Ms Breanna and Ms Keke will help with the final brickwork before my son enters Kindergarten. We are lucky to have found such a supportive, caring, and family-like center to care for us during the last couple of years. This review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the outstanding leadership of Ms Kristin and Ms Jess. They have built a strong and nurturing team. We appreciate everything you have done for my family. Both myself and Wyatt are better for attending The Learning Experience.
Nicole KrautJul 1, 2026We had such a wonderful experience with this center and would recommend them to anyone seeking childcare or preschool. Our son attended TLE for a little over 2 years and we saw a tremendous amount of growth and progress. Staff was phenomenal, caring and communicative. The facility itself was always clean, and I never had concerns about his wellbeing while he was in TLE’s care.
Vanessa HowlandJul 1, 2026My sons, have both been coming here for quite some time now and have had some awesome experiences here. My oldest's teachers, Ms. Loren and Ms. Delia have had had a wonderful impact on his growth and have made his time at TLE enjoyable. He always talks about them and is always excited to go back each day and see them. The same can be said about youngest's teachers, Ms. Heavenlee and Ms. Michelle. They have all been our boys' family away from home and we greatly appreciate the impact that they have had on our boys' lives.
