About the Provider

Advertisement

The Learning Experience is far more than just a child care center; we are an academy of early childhood education backed by more than thirty years of teaching experience! We provide the opportunity for children to learn and develop socially, emotionally, and physically in a warm, safe, and nurturing environment. Our curriculum and enrichment programs are designed and developed by accredited educators and they are all included in the cost of tuition. Serving children ages six weeks to five years, TLE offers a structured yet fun program that provides children the opportunity to gain confidence and knowledge while planting the seeds for a lifelong love of learning. Our L.E.A.P. (Learning Experience Academic Program)® curriculum is unlike any other child care provider’s in the area. The program features L.E.A.P. interactive smart board technology as well as Spanish, sign language, etiquette, physical fitness, and early reading instruction with the award-winning Fun with Phonics® program.

Additional Information:

In addition to the unique curriculum, we offer specialized enrichment programs in yoga, science, dance, math, and music to encourage children to explore different avenues of learning. Unlike other child care centers, our enrichment programs are included in the cost of regular tuition. There are no additional fees!

Along with the educational structure, TLE has a unique indoor play area called Make Believe Boulevard that represents a smaller scale version of Main Street, U.S.A. It includes a fire station, diner, general store, post office, and garage where children can engage in interactive role playing.

The Learning Experience at Doylestown is owned and managed by Jennifer Eckfield, a life-long educator with a passion for teaching children and providing a positive influence in their lives. TLE at Doylestown reinforces the values of social responsibility, emotional intelligence, and open communication.
