The Learning Experience - Mansfield - Hollands

We have been here 7 years and we have finally had enough. Things had been going downhill for the last few years with each rebuild after the pipes burst and with the previous owner cutting corners while they were getting ready to sell. Once the new owners came in, I felt there was going to be a positive change as the new director and assistant director had been two of their best teachers. The new regional guy who is over the director and assistant director fooled us at first to where we thought things were getting better, but when we had direct interactions with him, we could see it was all a front. With legacy teachers leaving left and right, and hearing from other parents and staff who have left, he seems to be part of the problem. The new staff that has replaced the old staff members with are never on the same page, and we can never get a clear answer out of them as to what's happening in the class. It's just a mess that I don't want my child to have to deal with. In addition, there are signs about no peanuts all over the lobby and entrance. My wife, noticed the snack they had for the kids on their way out had peanuts really big on the ingredients list. She told Levonte and he said he would take care of it. A week or later, the snacks were out again. She told the staff and the pulled them. About a week later, I saw the same snack and told him for the 3rd time to pull these snacks. This is just reckless.

The Learning Experience has been the best experience for my little one. My sweet boy began here at 3 months and it has been the best experience with childcare you can have. To give a little background, I'm a 13 year public school early childhood educator, I'm an olderish mama, and my other child did at home daycare until she was three. So looking for someone to take care of my baby was very daunting. I went to several childcare facilities in the area and kept coming back here. Teachers: The infant teachers are amazing. They have been there for years and during this ten months time span they have been his only teachers. They will love your babies and take care of them like they are your own, truly. When I first met Mrs. A & Ms. K., I knew I wanted my baby there. I have not worried about my baby one moment with them. Curriculum: They have a curriculum that has a monthly theme and they work with them on different skills. They are really teaching these babies. They will come home and know how to do different activities. Some of the fun themes he has done are little engineers and little musicians. At the end of a unit they get different objects/toys/instruments that are theme based. Communication: They have an app to communicate but more importantly they take picture of ALL the things. You will see when your baby eats, happy moments in the day, scientific observations, art he's working on, and so many more things. I honestly get at least 7-10 photos a day and that's been every day since he began. Many people say that they want cameras, but the pictures and app provide context to what the students are doing during the day and I love that. I literally know what is happening with my baby all day. As a mama, as a teacher, and as a former childcare worker I would definitely recommend you coming to The Learning Experience.Your baby will be loved and well taken care of.

After trying multiple schools that failed to meet me and my family’s expectations, we have fell in love with TLE! Their constant updates and photos on what the kids are actively doing along side of their personalized treatment of each individual child. Their teachers, and management go above and beyond with planning events for parents to always feel included and engaged.

The learning experience is one of the best childcare centers there is as teachers always making learning fun and engaging while ensuring each child feels heard and valued. Their creativity in lesson planning, coupled with their patience and genuine passion for teaching, has helped my child develop essential skills in a way that's both educational and enjoyable.

I want to share my experience with Learning Experience to help others make informed decisions. Initially, i was told there was availability for my son, but later found out there wasn't. When I tried to clarify the situation, I felt the staff, particularly the director, did not take accountability for the confusion. Moreover, I noticed inconsistencies when a family member called pretending to inquire about availability and was also told there was space. This created confusion and cost me a day's pay. Additionally, I felt that the staff, especially Levontre, seemed to have preconceived notions about my son based on misinformation provided by the previous daycare, which, in my opinion, affected their approach to teaching and supporting him. My overall feeling was that my son was not welcomed or wanted there due to misinformation and a lack of accountability amongst the director and the previous daycare.
