The Learning Experience of Warren (TLE) is a wonderful place to send your children! My daughter is 1 year old and has been attending since she was 10 weeks old and absolutely loves it there! My husband and I looked at other daycares in the area and we were horrified by what we saw. Once we walked into TLE of Warren, it was as if the sun had come out! I knew almost immediately that this was the place where my daughter would be attending. It is very clean and the staff legitimately cares about the children. What impresses me the most, is that the owner is there almost every day and knows all the children's names. To me, that is very important, as it shows he is passionate not only about the children, but about the quality of his business. TLE of Warren is like our second family. They hold a family picnic on Saturday in the summer and a Halloween parade in the fall and Santa comes to visit in December! They also have Parent's Nights Out a few times a year, where you can drop your child off at the center on a Friday or weekend and have some time to yourself to get errands done or catch a movie! To top it off, the teachers there are all top notch. They are very friendly, competent and I feel very safe leaving my daughter there for the day. Even though my daughter is only a year, in the infant room, they take her for buggy rides, read her books, do art projects with her and teach her to sit at a table to eat, drink from a cup, sleep on a cot and other daily living skills. The center also has a strict policy on illnesses which helps to keep them from spreading to other children and they frequently disinfect the toys and the rooms. Without TLE, I don't feel as though she would have progressed as nicely as she has. My husband and I are extremely satisfied with the center and look forward to many more years of the positive environment of TLE of Warren for our daughter.
