Description: The managing partners from The Learning Experience®, Manalapan, NJ took what was already the best child development program in the country and enhanced it to make it their own. Their goal is to be the absolute best in the industry. Offering programs and outstanding curriculum for 6 weeks through Kindergarten, The Learning Experience in Manalapan is conveniently located off Highway Route 33 at the Freehold/Manalapan border near The Freehold Raceway Mall. Situated by grass and greenery, the facility is far removed from strip malls, busy highways and other industry and business. It is nestled on its own private enclave providing privacy and security.
Like all Learning Experience centers, the Manalapan location has state-of-the-art security to keep little ones safe and provide comfort to families. Parents will be further impressed with the center's cleanliness. The partners are adamant about keeping a pristine facility.
Unique programs set this center apart from others. The Learning Experience in Manalapan welcomes each new parent with a kiss and cry package that helps families get through that very first day. The school keeps portfolios for each student with self-portraits and student interviews which are sure to be a family keepsake when presented upon graduation. The school is also sensory smart. Its sensory programs were developed in conjunction with top occupational therapists to provide a well-balanced sensory diet vital to child development. The Manalapan location also offers its students a creative writing studio and listening center for different types of free time.
Children will also enjoy the many different enrichment programs that rotate throughout the year. Some of the classes include phonics, art, dance, music and science. Enrichment is provided to each and every student at no additional charge to parents.
