I am so so so grateful for this school. All of the resources and programs they offer show that their best interest really is in the child. My son has been attending this school for a few weeks now and has shown a tremendous amount of progress not just academically but behavioral as well. I’m extremely picky when it comes to childcare/school for my son and I feel so much peace with this school. I’d highly recommend it to anyone.

Weve had two children attend TLE Lake Nona, and both have been a great experience for them. They always enjoy their time there and the teachers. The staff truly cares about helping them grow and are very friendly!

We currently have two girls at The leaning experience lake Nona ,Fl location and cannot say enough about the quality of the staff ,education and the care that they provide. Their teacher Ms Marlene is simply incredible . Being a new kid can be hard and the staff and their teacher made my family feel welcomed from day one. She made my kids feel comfortable and loved. She is caring and hold kids to a high standard. The front staff is also polite and friendly.This is so far the best school we have experienced.I highly recommend this school.

I cried putting my son in infant daycare, but Angela and miss Courtney and the team made me feel so at home! My son loves going to daycare and it’s such a relief as a parent to know that my child is cared for.Recommend for sure.

We are very happy with TLE/Lake Nona. Everyone has been very helpful and attentive. Anytime I have a question and need to call, someone answers the phone. My daughter is new to daycare and they have done an amazing job getting her settled and dealing with her emotions. My shy daughter has been eager to go back now every day!

While my girls have only been there for a few weeks, I’m very impressed with the teachers and staff. The director Ms Angela and the manager Ms Enid are so kind to parents and kiddos..it really does feel like home. The teachers have been so good to my girls and I love getting pics and updates throughout the day. We are very pleased!

My son began attending TLE this May. It has honestly been a wonderful experience. My son is 15 months old and this is the first time that he has ever attended a program outside of our home. From the first day, everyone made him feel comfortable and welcome. His classroom teachers are great and everyone always greets him with a smile. Throughout the day, it warms my heart to see pictures of him having so much fun. I would highly recommend TLE. My son is well taken care of, and learning a lot as well!

We love the learning experience! They handled the pandemic really well and provided us at home virtual learning and did not charge us tuition when we choose to stay home. They have so many safety measures in place that make us feel safe sending our daughter back to school. She is so excited every morning to go to school and will run to the door to leave. They follow the curriculum and that is evident through the pictures they send daily of them doing activities that match the posted lesson plans of the week. The new director and manager have been great additions to the school!

Great experience at TLE. Our son is 19 months now and has been going there since he was 7 weeks old. He is so excited to go every morning and he is learning new things every day. His current teachers, Ms Jessica & Ms Thalita are exceptional, reliable, courteous and make learning fun and exciting.

Were a new family that moved from another state and could not be more excited about finding The Learning Experience Orlando-Lake Nona. It’s been a month that our daughter is in TLE Lake Nona and she is excited about school every day.Angela and all the staff are great with kids. They are all passionate about their jobs and also made us feel welcomed the day we stepped in the door. I would highly recommend TLE Orlando-Lake Nona to anyone who is looking for quality child care in family atmosphere.

My son has been attending TLE for almost a year and we love it! He is advancing so quickly with the curriculum that is provided. The fact that he cheers when we pull into the parking lot, is a testament to the quality of care that is being provided.

My son still is traumatized by his experience here. He has trust issues with all teachers now. My son is now 9 he went when he was 3. DCF was notified years ago from us not the Director. The Director never called in the abuse notification as she was suppossed. Never send your child to this place.

The director Hannah is an amazing lady. Shes straight forward, and personally, I like that. She knows every childs name, and their parents. She is always welcoming to everyone. This is my childs first year in a school or daycare setting, and my child has anxiety. Hannah has been very helpful with her, and makes her feel calm. Id recommend that you come in and see for yourself. If I could leave my child in this facility next year, I would.

I contacted them asking for my children’s records and they are refusing to release them to me despite me being their father. I was told I needed an attorney to contact them and ask for MY children’s records. It is completely discriminatory in nature, as they are denying me my children’s records without reason.They are discriminating me because I am a single father. Please consider this before enrolling your children.

I’m really impressed with the friendliness And family feel of this daycare. Talía the business manager of this daycare greeted me and gave me a tour. She was super detailed and informative and answered all of my questions. Nothing better than setting a strong bond with a place that you’ll need to trust to leave your children in. Definitely felt that and all thanks to Talía amazing tour!

Love the facility. Went to another in the area, but the experience was less than stellar. The teachers and staff really do things in the best interest of the children. My child learns through hands on activities (tracing, circle time, art, make believe, LEAP interactive, etc.), enrichment (foreign language, soccer, yoga, etc.), and technology. Not only do they have worksheets that supplement the skills they are learning through LEAP interactive, but the teachers also work very hard to provide additional activities that are tailored to the weekly lessons. The snacks and lunches, which are provided with tuition, are healthier than any other child care facility I have been to. With their app, I can see my childs activity, eating, and sleeping routines daily. Everyone there works hard to accommodate the needs of all the children and families; and having been to other facilities for both my children, I understand that this can be difficult to do, but they truly do everything they can to make it happen and do a great job at it. I feel my child is learning while in a fun and safe environment. Couldnt ask for more.

Our experience has been great at TLE. Our child loves it, and the teachers are awesome. The general manager, Ms. Kim, is wonderful and so accommodating! She helped us out during the COVID-19 pandemic when our ELC was forced to close. Our family is forever grateful. Highly recommend this center! A++++++

As a prior police and military member who is very protective of my children I can honestly say this is one of the best schools I have experienced. My child learns so much, is loved and treated great. The staff is very friendly and supportive and my kid is happy. My husband and I recommend this school without a doubt!!!

I am a former TLE parent, and my daughter is now going into the 1st grade. My daughter is excelling in grade school due to the teaching and wonderful atmosphere at TLE. We followed Ms Hannah from her previous Center because of the wonderful and caring nature she has and her professionalism. If there ever was a problem brought to her attention it was fixed at a moments notice.Ms Hannah is very by the book and truly cares for her children and staff. She goes out of her way to make the work and school environment safe and happy.The day my child graduated, I said I wish they offered Kindergarten because I would be the first to sign up!Marian and Marlene taught my daughter to be a leader, a person and find herself. This is the best school ever with the best Director and Teachers.I would recommend this school to anyone and I have to many parents, even ones I just met. Keep up the great work! My daughter misses you and your school very much!!

My son is now a toddler and started in the infant class room. He is learning so much and his development has far exceeded anything I can pray for. The teachers, director and staff are very professional and work very hard to care for the children and truly love them like their own. Everyone is friendly and work hard to keep the children safe and excited to come to school daily. So grateful for how they care for and pour into my sons life.

The learning experience was my first daycare experience. Very nice staff I always felt like my baby was well cared for and happy. My 3 yr old told me he didnt wanna go to school, he didnt wanna eat different foods. He eats different foods now and he ended up loving TLE. They even send you pictures on your phone so you can see what your kids are doing throughout the day. Thanks TLE , will be returning later.

We have had our son in TLE since he was 8 months old and have been happy with every stage of his development there (hes now 2). He loves his teachers and asks to go see them every day. He has made so many friends there and is learning a lot. We are amazed at the new words and skills he comes home with. Thank you to Hannah and all the staff for everything!

WARNING DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD HERE! the staff and director is a monster. She will make everything look wonderful for you and say your child will have an amazing time not true. I put a hidden cam in my sons bag and I was horrified on what I seen. Im going to sue this facility for what they have done to my child and other children as well. They let the staff rough up my son and throw him and push him and hit him just because he was crying. I feel so bad as a parent I even let this happen and thought I could trust people to care for my child and I was wrong. They will pay for what they have done. Please make the right choice. Dont get blind like I did.

Our Daughter just switched to the toddler class room after spending the last year in the infant room and we couldnt be happier with the entire staff. The love and care they show is towards all the children is really incredible. She has learned so much in the past year and we are looking forward to all the new things she will be learning with her new teachers and friends.

Review №33

TLE Lake Nona is wonderful! My husband and I would highly recommend it. The director Hannah always takes the time to stop and greet each parent and child making them feel welcome and special. All of the teachers are friendly and approachable. All of the staff seems to have a genuine love of children. I know that sounds like its a given but there are lots of people who work with children who dont truly enjoy it. Our daughter has been attending TLE since Oct 2015 and has been in two different classrooms. Both classrooms have been bright, colorful, and a great learning environment. I also appreciate that they make sure the kids have fun. Although learning is important, I want my child to enjoy their day and have an opportunity to use their imagination. I love the app on my phone where I can see pictures of her playing on the playground, eating lunch with friends at a mini table made just for her age and creating art projects. The teachers and staff also arrange special activities such as trick-or-treating at Halloween, pajama day (a personal favorite) and pot lucks for the kids to try new foods. This place really is the best of the best because of the wonderful staff.

This is by far the worst school! We had the most traumatizing experience! Not only did they allow my son to pee in his pants because they wouldn’t let him use the restroom. They made him sit in it until he was picked up. The other traumatizing experience my son in concert was his teacher hitting him on his stomach because he was laying on his back during naptime and not his stomach. Yes they fired the teacher after pulling surveillance and seeing it. however nothing was ever done about all the complaints I made prior to these events taking place. My son now lacks self-confidence he’s very shy and embarrassed around other students and has to undergo counseling and therapy sessions due to these experiences he went through. I am having a hard time getting my son back to normal after they destroyed his self-confidence. It’s been a year and I cant explain what my son has gone through! And the reason I am now making a review is because we are trying hard to rebuild my son to the confident obedient loving boy he was before this stupid school!!! DONT BRING YOUR KID HERE!!!

The Learning ExperienceI’m writing this review to tell you about my personal experience with The Learning Experience. We enrolled our son in TLE for their summer program. We met with Mrs. Baker, the director. She was very patient and thorough with explaining and introducing the goals and curriculum of the TLE. They were the only preschool to offer a summer recreational/educational program. We had researched, read reviews and took tours of all the preschools in Lake Nona. Our son was placed in a class of students that were going to enter VPK in August. His teacher Ms. Mirian, is a patient, fair, yet firm and a very structured teacher. She’s also very good at following the L.E.A.P. curriculum.What I found most impressive was the L.E.A.P Program that they utilize. The L.E.A.P. Program is a comprehensive educational program that uses workbooks, literature and technology (interactive smartboard) that covers a variety of skills like: phonics, numbers, science, math, shapes, colors, journal writing, sight words and a basic foreign language. They also have special activities throughout the year like visits from Santa, the Tooth Fairy, Cupid and service dogs. They also do fund raising for a variety of charitable causes.My son has grown academically and socially in many ways. He has learned to trace letters, he knows his numbers and shapes, he knows the sounds letters make (Phonics). He recognizes sight words. We are very happy with our decision to enroll our son and we strongly feel that TLE is preparing our son for kindergarten. They also have an app that allows the teacher and director to communicate with parents and send pictures daily of the children at work.

Review №37

My son has been attending for over a year, I havent had any issues with the director or his teachers. They dont use timeout, they use distraction and redirection methods, such as re-directing to sit and look at a book. The director is no-nonsense and straightforward which may rub some the wrong way, but I think she is professional and doing what needs to be done to run the school efficiently. There have been a few kids who were aggressive in my sons class and the situation was handled with care and appropriately. I am in and out of the school at different times to pick up my son and have never seen or heard anything that would concern me. I would recommend the school as I feel the teachers do their best with the children.

My daughter has been there now 4 months and loves it. Her teachers are experienced and very caring. She looks forward to school and some days doesnt want to leave. It has been a very different experience compared to trying other childcare facilities in the Lake Nona (Cranium Academy) and greater Orlando area after relocating here a year ago. I am so happy we finally found TLE!

By far the worst school. Me and my wife had our daughter here and we took her right out. They abuse children and the director is very fake. She will make things look one way and when your not there she will be a hole different person. She is all about money only. Please so not leave your children here. They are under investigation!

Tlc is an amazing school! The director Hannah is compassionate and handles all concerns quickly, even when on her vacation. She treats every child as her own, as she is a mother herself. I have on numerous occasions stopped by unannounced and my daughter is always very happy and lovingly cared for. She even wants to go to school on the weekends. The teachers and director are very professional and friendly all the time. And the curriculum is great! My child is already reading site words in books. Tlc is clean, organized and tidy always! Best decision I made 3 years ago to switch my child to this school. Im only sorry they dont offer kindergarten. Id be the first to sign up!

My son has been in the nursery at the Learning Experience for almost 7 months now and it has been nothing but wonderful. I do a lot of research when making any selection or purchase for services for family, home, etc. When it came to choosing where my 5-month-old would go for care every day when my husband and I were at work, I spent a lot of time researching reviews on various websites and asking for feedback from neighbors and friends. I ended up putting a deposit down at the Learning Experience and one other local daycare but after touring the Learning Experience, my choice was clear. I have not once regretted this choice. I struggle leaving my son each day and going to work, but the teachers in the nursery and all of the staff at the Learning Experience make it so much easier. Ms. Issrani in the nursery is the kindest woman and it is very apparent how much she cares about my son and he LOVES her! There are only a few people he will let me hand him off to without crying and she is one of them. The rest of the nursery teachers are also amazing. On the days when we have picked him up early or dropped him off late (coming into the nursery unannounced) the nursery always seems to be in order and the babies are being attended to. My husband had him at home all of last week and when I dropped him off at daycare this last Monday, he was so happy to see Ms. Issrani and his nursery room. Not only do they do wonderful things for my son, but back in May, when the nursery staff knew I was going through a rough time because my husband was recovering from surgery, they made me a hand-made birthday card (from my son) to cheer me up. Little things like that go a long way for me, but the peace of mind knowing that my son is well taken care of everyday is absolutely priceless. I love the Learning Experience!

My children have been coming to TLE Lake Nona since it opened it is a great school. The staff and the Director are great and are always there to help in my family’s needs. My children get upset at me when I come early to pick up that has a lot to say about the great job the teachers are doing. I will recommend this school to anyone TLE Lake Nona keep up the good work love you guys.

Hannah the director was very rude to me when I called to check available for my son. I was trying to ask questions and she hung up on me. I called back I thought it was in error and she was even more rude and told me she was busy and didnt have time to answer my stupid questions. I would NEVER put my child here if it meant I had to quit working and stay at home. Please be careful parents when placing your children with people like this. I understand there are bad days we are all human so I gave them another chance calling another day Hannah was still very rude and abrupt.

THE DIRECTOR OF THIS DAYCARE MISREPRESENTS THIS DAYCARE IN THE WORST WAY, Her dimwitted remarks to her staff are belittling and uncalled for ,Her lack of passion for parent communication and the over all exhaustion in her work ethic sadly shines through on a day to day basis. Having that director as the face of this daycare is the recipe for a poorly run establishment and a loss of a marketable business .

We had my son Tristan at TLE and we had a wonderful experience. My son was in the toddler group with Mrs. Karen and he loved her. During his time he learned and grew a lot. They are wonderful. The staff is very friendly from the director Hannah to the front desk and all the teachers. The only reason we left is because we moved due to military obligation. We thank the staff for this wonderful time we had at TLE. Anette W.

My son was mistreated by The director Hannah. He was forced to tell her about a situation that happened between him and the teacher without a parent present. When my son felt intimidated and wasn’t giving her eye contact while telling her what happened she told him to look at her two little eyes when he talks to her... she also called his teacher into her office forcing him to apologize to his teacher for telling his mother what had went on in the classroom that made him cry. Please save your children from the mistreatment and humiliation this school has to offer.

My son attended VPK here with Mrs. Marlene and Ms. Ines for the 2017-2018 school year, we have been so happy with our experience. The teachers are so amazing and dedicated to the children, my son is not treated like just a kid in the class. He is someone to them and they care about him, his education and wellbeing. The school itself is very nice with great administration and very sweet staff members. I really like that there are both an inside and and outside play area for rainy FL days. The school is also clean and serves good food according to my very picky son. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a daycare in the Lake Nona area! Jen G. Mama of two with very high standards:)

We have had nothing but wonderful experiences so far with TLE at Lake Nona! Director and manager are great, they made me feel at ease when leaving my 2 year old with them! He has never been in daycare before and it only took him a week to get used to it, now he wants to go there every morning! His teachers miss Natali and miss Marielena are amazing! Thank you for taking such a good care of my baby!

Our daughter attended TLE for pre school and there are NO words that can describe how grateful and pleased we are with the outcome,we NEVERhad any issues with my daughter and lord does she have a strong personality but the Director Hannah and her amazing teacher Ms. Marlene and other wonderful staff members handled maddison great. I am pleased to say that she will be starting Kindergarten in a few weeks and at kinder evaluation her teacher was so happy and amazed of how bright she is .Mrs. Marlene helped her through her fears and shyness and that helped her at her evaluations I told her always remember what Ms. Marlene taught you be confident you can do this!!! And she did. Ms.Hannah was so helpful when we moved here from another state she was my comfort she gave me all the information needed and always had great parent staff communications. Every staff member in this learning center is amazing from Emma the food lady as my daughter calls her to the front desk . I would not had chosen another school this was just perfect. She learned to count and recognize the numbers ,alphabets, continents and so much more but best of all she learned to socialize and made new friends. I know if we ever need help with anything the staff members Ms. hannah and Ms.Marlene WILLbe there !!!! 1000%recommend

The worst experience for my kid. Director is rude. Teachers put the kids in time out all the time. The kids are so afraid that peed on their selves. Worst place to leave your child. My kid was just for one moth there in February of 2015. And yes I saw the kids in time out. My kid was traumatized, he had nightmares, he doesnt want to go out of the house. He was two years at that time and was the worst experience ever. He has no problem in his other daycare.

Review №53

This school is not worth time for neither children or staff (coming from experience).The staff does not follow curriculum. Hannah the director is very disrespectful to her employees. She belittles you and is very disrespectful. She has favoritism with certain employees and believes what ever they tell her. Ms. Marlene disciplines the children by removing them from activities that are on the day to day schedule. She doesn’t allow them to play in centers and has them sitting at the tables all day long. Take your business elsewhere.
