I have used this provider for more than 6 months

We are very impressed with The Learning Experience @ West Windsor and would highly recommend it. The first thing we liked is that the center director is also the owner. This is not something that you get at most day cares. Most day care owners employ a center director who may or may not be fully committed. For the TLE @ West Windsor, the owner Ms. Geetha is onsite pretty much the entire day. She, her assistant directors and staff is extremely hard working and responsive. Any requests that we have are attended to very quickly. She is also flexible and willing to work with parents on various situations that they may encounter making the whole experience very personable.
She and the teachers are like mothers to our child, which makes us feel very secure to leave our child at the center every day. If any kid gets hurt while playing, has any medical condition etc, they attend to it very well, follow procedures to the book, inform parents immediately and most importantly comfort the kid.
The daily updates are detailed so that lets us know what our child was upto every day. The curriculum is well designed and keeps the kids engaged. The place is also very colorful and bright, fairly large offering the kids lot of room to play and has a nice playground in the back. All in all, a great day care and learning center!!

The Learning Experience in West Windsor is a great facility. The school is very organized and clean. The classrooms are outfitted with the latest technologies (interactive board etc). The teachers and staff are extremely caring. You won’t go wrong with enrolling in one of their programs.

Now that my child has been enrolled for over 2 years I feel it's about time that I wrote a review of The Learning Experience (TLE) in West Windsor. Prior to enrolling our child we visited several preschools in the area, including a different TLE that was closer to our house. Of all the schools we visited I felt that TLE was head and shoulders above the rest (at the same price!). TLE is a franchise that offers a school like atmosphere which centers on learning, without removing the fun that younger children need. Because it is a franchise one could assume that if you've seen one you've seen them all - this is true of the look and materials that are used, but the feel of the schools seem to vary a little based on the management and staff. The first TLE that I looked at was good but just didn't really strike me as 'it' for my child. On a recommendation I visited the West Windsor location. The tour was conducted by the owner (Ms Geetha), who is actively involved in the day to day operations. Two years later, with a thriving well run school, she still meets me at the door every day and hugs my daughter as we leave for the day! Her entire staff follows her lead. I really can’t say enough about her entire team. During the initial tour/play date the teachers interacted with her and invited her to join in the activity that the class was working on. We actually left the tour with a Thanksgiving Turkey made of construction paper that she completed while I was asking questions and touring the rest of the school! The main thing is, my daughter was comfortable and happy even prior to enrolling her and she didn’t want to leave when the play date was over. Since enrolling her, the teachers have helped us get her potty trained and introduce more food options into her diet in a fun and low pressure way. She is also reading and learning at an amazing pace. Every Friday she gets ‘homework’ that she always looks forward to doing over the weekend and handing in on Monday. Bottom line, she loves going to school! Honestly I couldn’t be happier with our decision to go with this school! I would absolutely do it all again if given the choice.

My grand daughter attend the West Windsor TLE. I have visited them a number of times as I have taken her and picked her up. She often talks about her experiences as we drive to and from. That is a good sign of enjoying learning from the TLE. She always talks highly of her instructors and always gives both her instructors and the owners a hug when she leaves. This is a very welcoming and skilled Learning Center. Based on my grand daughters experience, I do recommend you check them out.

The Learning Experience in West Windsor is more than just a child care center. TLE in West Windsor offers an environment for every child to learn, grow and develop in classrooms with structure. As a parent of a child enrolled at this center, I'm impressed with the knowledge my child has gained over the course of two years. Since the infant stages when my child began learning sign language through the toddler years learning the alphabet, numbers, colors, etc. My child has made many friends, has such loving and nurturing teachers and the staff is very attentive to you and your child's needs. The classrooms are bright, clean and offer a variety of toys fit for a child's imagination. I would highly recommend this center as it stands apart from any other. Each day I drop my child off with confidence that she will be taken care of in every aspect. It has been a great experience and I'm thankful I made the right decision when choosing child care. Being that a child will spend many hours at daycare, you want them to feel comfortable, loved and happy while there. I see that in my child each and every day and I know that as a parent I have made the best decision for her.
