The Learning Experience - Gurnee

Our family has been sending at least one child to TLE for 7 years - essentially since they’ve been open! Our son started as an infant and continued through preschool and the school age summer program and our daughter has been attending for almost 3 years, also since infancy. We will be leaving TLE soon - but not due to a lack of satisfaction with the program. Leaving actually makes me feel quite emotional as the teachers and staff have felt like a part of our family for many years! Ms. Kristin is an excellent center director and has always been very communicative and professional. She truly cares about the kids. Both kids have had many great teachers - too many to name individually - but I would be remiss in not mentioning Ms. Ann, Ms. Lucy, Ms. Eniko, Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Angela, and Ms. Jessica who have always been so kind to both our kids and our family as a whole. TLE will always hold a special place in our hearts! Our kids thrived under the care of the teachers and staff and we will miss everyone very much!

We are very happy with the care our child receives in Infant A. Ms. Lucy and Ms. Ann are incredibly observant and really know my son, and can tell immediately if his demeanor is off. They go above and beyond to create a stable, enriching, and clean environment. They pay attention to so many small details to provide a classroom that provides both stability and developmentally appropriate enrichment for the babies. It’s hard to leave an infant when they are so delicate in order to return to work, and I am so grateful that my son is in the excellent care of Ms. Ann, Ms. Lucy, and Ms. Angela!

I am beyond grateful for the staff at TLE! They have made a tremendous impact on the life of my son. Kristen and Jess have done an amazing job and never gave up on my son when he was having a rough time. The partnership I have with them is invaluable and because of their dedication I don’t hesitate ever in having the best part of me in their care. Ms. Makia and Ms. Courtney have given so much love to my son and loved him through his rough patch and handled him with such great care. There are not enough words on the planet to express my sincere gratitude to them both. Now that he has moved up with Ms. Delia and Ms. Lauren I have seen tremendous growth in his learning even more than what I have seen over the past 2 1/2 years we have been with TLE-Gurnee. They have done great things in a short amount of time. I pray God continues to bless all the staff at TLE. They are truly PHENOMENAL!

Our son joined Ms. Breanna’s classroom for the last 3 months of the school year and she made him feel like he had been there all year. She has gone above and beyond to help him with everything in the classroom. Ms. Courtney and Ms. Makia have listened to everything I have asked for my daughter and helped her build confidence and fit right in as well. Looking forward to another year for her at TLE in the fall.

TLE was the first daycare I decided to bring my children to and we have been here for 3+ years. Even when I moved away and the commute was longer we still decided to stay because of how great of an experience it is for my family. Having peace of mind that your children are not only safe but cared for is priceless. We also love how much TLE incorporates the community through special events and love how they provide educational activities. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to parents or caregivers!
