During the time he was enrolled we were able to tour the facility( after hours) and had all of questions answered. Dave (business manager) was amazing to work with and was easily accessible through phone, text or email.All of teachers were very helpful in making our son feel welcome here and fostered a happy environment. One thing that I really enjoyed here was the communication and the curriculum. They were able to communicate everything that was happening through an app and when my child fell they called me right away and provided an incident report at pickup up.Unfortunately due to a move we are no longer here but since we love the learning experience we have enrolled our son in one closer, I am so thankful for all the staff here!

When you become a parent and it’s time to go back to work, one of the hardest things to do is to find a place where you know that your little one is going to be safe and well taken care of. Where your son/daughter is going to receive not only the care but the love that your little one needs to have a healthy development as a whole child. One of the best experiences for me is to have come across TLE Bucktown center. From the moment you walk in you can see and feel the love and the best interest at heart from every staff member towards every child as an individual.Ms.Rebecca, the Center Director, and Ms.Jazmin, the Assistant Director, are very warming, loving and caring with every child and are always providing the support that you or your child might need. The teachers at this center are all amazing, I have been very lucky to meet all of them and I can definitely tell you that they are working there for all the right reasons. My little one is currently attending at this educational and developmental TLE center, and I have seen lots of growth and many milestones met. One thing that I really love is the application that TLE has developed where you get a daily insight on your child’s day, including pictures that make your heart smile when you receive them. I know that my little one is learning as he’s having fun. TLE at Bucktown fosters an inviting, learning, age-appropriate environment that allows your child to learn and develop as they explore. You will not regret enrolling your little one at this amazing place!

We have LOVED TLE! Sending our child to a daycare in a pandemic was not an easy decision, but Dave, Jazmin, Flor and Maritza made it so much easier. They have taken such wonderful care of my son and I know he has developed significantly faster because of all the activities they do with him. We are leaving the state, otherwise we would be staying at TLE, and I know we will be hard pressed to find a better daycare somewhere else!

Since day one we took our son to TLE at Bucktown we have been extremely happy!!! He was 5months and it’s been all smiles. All the teachers and staff are so nice and welcoming, I can see my son having fun while learning and even during this pandemic, they have been responsive and we know they took great care of every single child. There is no other place I would rather take my baby!!

We have had a child at TLE Bucktown since August 2019. Our experience as parents has been nothing but fantastic. The staff is very professional and engaged with the children- you can tell that they really care. The best part is that when we drop our child off he is excited to see his teachers and runs off- this is the biggest estimate to the great job they do. In addition throughout all of COVID, they have had excellent policies and procedures that have proven to be very effective. This is a great place to send your child to play and learn.

The quality of care my son receives at TLE Bucktown has by far exceeded our expectations. My son absolutely adores his teachers especially Ms. Leydi! We can honestly say that he is genuinely cared for by his teachers and others at the location. The center not only offers enrichment programs during “school” but they also have a YouTube page we follow for additional entertainment. Technology is also an added bonus. The kids have their own workbooks that also translate to a lesson that is taught on a large touchscreen which makes learning and participating fun for the kids. In the two years of us being with TLE we have not had one complaint and we would definitely recommend to families looking for a daycare/school.

We have sent our son to TLE Bucktown since he was 8 months old. He has been in every room from Infant to Preppers (3+). He is thriving and learns new things every day. I find myself asking him all of the time where did you learn that?. The answer is usually at school. He loves his teachers and the management team of Mr. Dave and Ms. Jazmin. The curriculum is superior; for example, he is learning the basics of Spanish and Mandarin and has learned all of his Planets before he was 3.We have never been concerned over safety throughout since the center opened back up in June. He was thrilled when he was able to go back as that is where he can learn and share with all of the amazing friends he has met over the past couple of years. We are expecting our second child next month and we will definitely be enrolling him in TLE Bucktown later this year or early next year!

We joined TLE Buckdown in the middle of the pandemic and the transition has been smooth. TLE has handled the pandemic pretty well so far (e.g., communication, quarantine, etc.) We are happy with the care and education our child has received to date and have been able to stay connected to the teachers and been informed of whats going on in the classroom. Our child has grown and developed much with the help of teachers and peers.

We have had our child at TLE - Bucktown for 2 years now and we cannot say enough amazing things about TLE! We LOVE it here and so does our little one. The teachers and staff are all so friendly and helpful and I cannot get over how much he learns at this school. We are so pleased and thankful that we stumbled upon TLE when we moved here. Cannot say enough positive things about this place, it is everything you look for when looking for someone to take care of your child each day and more.

We have two kids that go to TLE Bucktown. We can’t say enough good things. We have experienced each classroom from infant through Preppers (3+) and each class / group of teachers have been AMAZING! Seriously, if I could be a spokesperson I would!Both are kids are thriving and love going to “school”! Each staff / member at the school is pleasant and enjoys their job!! They do such creative stuff too with the kids. Each month there’s a new theme and I just love seeing the pictures each day!Having to have the kids home earlier in the year was so stressful, but as soon as we could bring them back we did. We knew we could depend on the staff to keep the center and our children as safe as possible.If you are looking for a reliable, clean, friendly place for your kids to go each day TLE us a great choice!

My wife and I love the staff at TLE Bucktown! They are extremely friendly and good with our kid, and theyre very good about posting photos during the day of the activities they kids are doing. He cant wait to go in the morning and usually isnt ready to come home at the end of the day. Were constantly impressed by what he comes home talking about and what he seems to be learning at TLE, and hes 19 months old. Would definitely recommend TLE.

We couldn’t be happier with TLE Bucktown. The staff is incredible, from the Manager Dave to the Assistant Manager, Jazmin to all the teachers including Jessica, Claudia and Leydi. They all treat us and our daughter so well. Everyday our daughter is thrilled to go to school and comes home extremely happy. They do a great job communicating with parents and send daily updates with lesson plans, pictures and other general updates. We would highly encourage anyone to take a look at TLE Bucktown and benefit from this wonderful experience.

Our son (16 months old) has been coming to this daycare now for about 2 months, and it has been well worth the switch we made from his old daycare! The directors, leadership, and classroom teachers are all extremely caring, professional, helpful, and you can tell all are truly invested in the children and their families. The proprietary app is updated for parents multiple times per day with notes and pictures so I’ve never worried about if my son is being entertained and well cared for. The curriculum (even in the toddler room!) is robust, complete with art, music, exercise and imaginative play, and even math for toddlers :) I honestly cannot say enough nice things about this center. They are extremely flexible on scheduling, have longer hours, and rates are better than other centers in the area.

Today I enrolled my daughter in The Learning Experience Bucktown. She will be starting in a couple of months and I cant wait. I visited few other centers, but the cleanliness, the friendliness and the professionalism of staff here was very comforting for me as a first time mom. Few things I found here and in no other place are:1. They DONT share cribs. Never thought about it before, but I dont want my baby to share crib!2. They use a very safe app to keep me updated on how my babys day is going.Highly recommend!

Our family is very pleased with The Learning Experience. All employees are very pleasant to work with and have been great with our child. Its not a daycare where they just play with/entertain your child, its more like a learning institution, which we really like. They also pride themselves on safety and communication. Their app is awesome where we feel like we are with our child all day by being constantly updated.

I toured this daycare and the first thing you notice is how warm and knowledgeable the staff is. This daycare is not just a place to drop off your child, the entire staff including the director, seem as if they will really care for your lo and teach them things you probably didnt even realize could be taught at their age (because I didnt and I look up blogs as a full time job!) I am excited to send my lo here.

My grandson attended this daycare from June of this year until December when his parents moved to another town. I picked my grandson up from daycare once or twice a week in late morning, so I was able to see him in the classroom, interacting with other children and the staff. The staff here is great!, They are very attentive to the toddlers. I think the director is excellent, very responsive to questions and concerns. She was also very good with my grandson. I rate this director and staff much higher than the Kindercare staff and director at the daycare he attended from 3 months to 18 months.I like this daycares curriculum for toddlers, and the real-time posting of information and photos of my grandson during the day for my daughter and son-in-law. They were great about letting us know if G. had been injured during the day or if he was having conflicts with other children. He was very attached to his teachers and it was hard to leave.I love the cheerful, colorful decor of the daycare. The classrooms and entry are very welcoming. There are new, fun activity centers in the classrooms, and areas where the toddlers can ride little vehicles, which my grandson loved! They have an impressive security system, and I like the outside playground equipment on the roof (which is surrounded by a unclimbable, tall fence.) I like that the children dont have to leave the building and walk down busy streets to go outside and play.This daycare was a great place for my grandson to play, learn and interact with other toddlers And most important to me, it was a safe and nurturing environment. So, this Nana was very happy with The Learning Experience!

I can not recommend TLE enough. Just like every new parent, I was a wreck sending my son to daycare when my maternity leave ended, but TLE made the transition SO much easier. Every single person who works there genuinely loves what they do and loves the children who come through the door. My son needed physical therapy and his teachers worked extra hard with him to make sure he got his exercises in and was getting adequate tummy time, which has helped his progress so much. My son lights up in the morning when he sees his teachers. The TLE app also helps me feel like Im connected to what my son is doing, and they take the BEST photos! My husband and I really do not have one bad thing to say about TLE and I am so, so, so grateful that we found them.

We absolutely love TLE Bucktown. The staff is amazing, and the facilities are immaculate. The director, Neha, is professional, helpful, and reliable. Neha and the staff at TLE Bucktown made our daughters transition to daycare easier with their continuous flexibility and understanding. The classroom staff updates parents on a secure app throughout the day, which is great for open communication. We love TLE Bucktown and highly recommend it.

Unorganized placed came here 3 times. One to get a feel and look around to see if we like it. Then we came back to talk about his hours and cost everything was good so we come back 3th time to have them fill out the paperwork for him to start. Came in today to have him start tomorrow and now all of a sudden they don’t take part time for 1 Year olds but yet on the secound visit we talked about him coming in part time and they where ok with it. now today it’s a problem, VERY unprofessional.

I just wanted to provide an updated review for The Learning Experience - Bucktown. My son has been going here since he was 4 months old and now he is almost 3. He has thrived so much here. He knows sign language, comes home almost every day with a new word, can count to 20; all things that he picked up from TLE. The staff are amazing from Dave and Jazmin in the administration to all the teachers: Belinda, Jessica, Claudia. Everyone is communicative and supportive. Since COVID-19, the staff has gone above and beyond to continue creating some sense of normalcy for my son while also following all the safety protocols including masking, frequent hand washing, and social distancing. We are sadly moving and the one of the big things I was most upset about was leaving TLE Bucktown. I have so much faith in this company that I found the nearest TLE to my new home and enrolled our son in right away.
