Now that my child has been enrolled for over 2 yea...

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.
