At The Learning Experience, we make early education joyful, engaging and fun so children are happy to learn, play and grow.
Our curriculum focuses on the six ages and stages of early childhood development and engages children in hands-on learning activities that encourage them to explore and solve problems at their own rate of development. This forms a foundation for kids to Learn, Play and Grow under the care of our nurturing teachers and staff.
Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of a child, their families, and the communities we serve. We achieve this mission through three core values: an Innovative Mindset, a Collaborative Spirit, and Community Impact.
