I am very protective of my soon to be 2 and 3 year old Daughter and Son and want them to be in a safe environment. After interviewing many daycares, I chose learning experience because they treat each child as if they were their own. Ms Carly, Madhu Rita, Carly are full of passion, truly knows how to "train" children and are miracle worker. Learning Experience is not only a valuable resource for care during working hours, but also for supplemental babysitting, and we can confidently recommend it to anyone.
They provide healthy, balanced regular hot meals and snacks. They also have daily circle/song time, crafts projects, various skills building toys/activities, and sufficient and regular outdoor play in a well kept area in the back. The organizers and day care staff are kind and attentive. There are also a lot of little extra touches that make moms feel like their kids are very well taken care of such as the daily reports, Extra Huggs and warmth that each teacher shows. I'm extremely satisfied with my choice and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a daycare center for their precious child.
