Reviews of The Learning Experience - Chantilly (Kindergarten)

Zhanbolat A

We love this day care. Kids are alway having fun and learn a lot during the day. I would say the best price/quality ratio in our area.

We are happy to choose TLE chantilly for our 2 year old son. Transition was easy and staff are friendly. My son quickly adjusted with staff and school..

My daughter has been attending TLE since August 2014 and I cant not say enough about what a great institution this is. The school is bright and inviting, the classrooms are super clean, the facility is engaging and the teachers are well qualified. I considered taking my daughter out of the school because the location is not convenient for me, but I could not find any other school that makes me feel as comfortable as TLE. The staff goes above and beyond to make me feel like my daughters well being is important to them and as a parent I cant ask for more. I love that my daughter isnt cooped up in one room all day, she has 2 rooms in the school other than the playground and the classroom that they take them into. They provide good snacks and lunches and they are super flexible with my schedule as needed. There really is no other school in the NOVA area that is as great as TLE,

We have a 7 month old and she loves it here. They take such good care of her. We feel no stress when we leave her here. Amazing staff!

Jennifer Bissot

All the staff at TLE take such good care of our daughter! Even though she is young, we love the art projects and activities they do with the babies. Our daughter has learned so much through TLE; we are grateful for the caring teachers and administrators.

Both of my kids (now 17 months and 3.5) have been attending The Learning Experience since it opened. They each have transitioned up though couple of classes and we've gotten to know most of the teachers well. We all love it! The kids are not just entertained and well taken care of, they are learning important things from language skills to manners. They have been lucky to form special relationships with their teachers and really look forward to school each day. As a parent I have really appreciated the administration team as well. They have made scheduling irregularities and special circumstances painless for me, which is huge--as a mother you are always coordinating so much! They have felt like part of my team, unified around taking care of my kids. I cannot recommend TLE high enough!

TLE in Chantilly has been fantastic. Our son started when we was a year old, and now we've been there for nine months. The teachers truly care about the kids -- in addition to the daily write up about what my son does every day, I can easily chat with his teachers at the end of the day and they understand his mood and nature. The owners and directors are easy to talk to, responsive to any concerns or questions, and really a pleasure to work with. Another thing I like about TLE is they bring in great stuff for the kids! At least once or twice a month, there's a new activity or event the kids are being exposed to -- a dentist coming in and teaching them about teeth care, a local farmer bringing his animals, special events for holidays, and more.

My kid love to go TLE Chantilly!!. We joined him 3 months back. Initially he was crying when we drop him in class, but now he loves to go there. The teachers are very nice & friendly. The management is also very nice. They have very flexible time to drop and pick your kid. My kid will go only 3 days a week for half day (Wed, Thu, Fri). In case if I am not able to send my kid on selected days for any reason (kid is sick/ not in town/holidays or any other reason), I can upfront let the management know to drop my kid for other days. They will update the class calender and let the teachers know. I like this. Earlier there was only one teacher in this class, not they hired two teachers for toddlers class. The only one this I feel indoor play area for kids is very small. Little more bigger area is good for kids to play and enjoy.

TLE has been the best experience for our 3 year old. The center is incredibly well done, clean and a great place to be for kids. My 3 year old who had never been to school was able to acclimate and make TLE her home with her first week of school. Everyone is extremely friendly from the owner to the director and all of the teachers are educated and loving. Since attending TLE my daughter has learned to spell her name, learn basic sign language and basic Spanish words. I would recommend TLE Chantilly to any parent that truly cares about the well being and nurtured growth of their children.

We recently switched our 5 month old daughter from another local center in Centreville to TLE in Chantilly. The transition has been seamless for her! We love the security features in place (access fobs, cameras, etc) and we love how the diaper changing area faces the room so that the worker never has her back to the other children. They're working on sign language with the babies (this month's sign is "happy") and they do tummy time each day. She gets lots of interaction and the staff welcome her by singing her a song in the mornings. Highly recommended!

Sri Bhandari

My son is absolutely delighted to go to learning experience ..He loves his teachers ..Ms Janice and Ms Erica. Ms Janice, she is so adorable ..she takes interest in telling about my son every single day as how his day was .. The staff here Ms Judy and Ms chanelle are so pleasant ..and accommodates as per his needs..

Tiye A

Horrible experience with staff teachers, and owners. Very in organized and un professional. For a place so nicely decorated, I was hoping for a lot better efforts in running the organization, and taking care of the children. Sadly disappointed.

Alex Y

Our first experience with daycare and we took our 3.5 y.o son for the first time. We did shop around in the area and didn’t regret that we chose this place. Ms. Judy treats kids as they are her own kids. Teachers are experienced and friendly. Highly recommend this place!

Balquiss Goni

The Learning Experience in Chantilly has been by far the best child care center I have seen. My 4 year old son has not yet gone to a school were they focus deeply into education and have a great time. In just 1 month he was able to read! The school is very neat, and the teachers are very nice. So in general I would recommend taking your child to this excellent school!

Shannon D

We recently moved our two daughters to TLE and are pleased with the staff and our kids' progression. They connect well with our daughters and provide helpful homework that is appropriate for their current level of learning. We definitely recommend TLE!

Sreeni K

My son is going to TLE chantilly from past 8 months and our experience so far is good. Nice and caring caretakers. Environment is clean and kids friendly.

Aigerim Zholdas

Absolutely love this day care.We have two children attending TLE Chantilly and we couldn't be happier! TLE does a tremendous job of mixing play with learning and communicating with parents. It is always clean and teachers and staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

amy sutphin

Fantastic school! It really is more like a school than just a daycare. My daughter has learned so much and loves her teachers.

John Eck

They have done a great job with our 6 month old for the past month. Our experience has been wonderful. We signed up and then had to wait on starting for several months due to a delay in starting a new job. They worked with us and were more than understanding. They really took the stress OUT of finding a daycare. Our daughter has loved going there and appears to be happy going and coming home. I can't say enough how happy we have been and recommend them to anyone looking for a daycare

Leah Siegfried

My daughter started at TLE in the 3 year old preschool program with before and after care, and she LOVES it here! The curriculum is fun and focused - we see her learning new things every week. I was impressed that there are not extra fees for computer work, yoga, Spanish, music, etc like we had seen at other centers we visited. The staff are friendly and supportive. Overall, a great environment!

ilana safiev

Great place!!! I love the crew. My child is excited to go to school and happy to go back home and tell about his day. So much different than the school before he went to. Here I really feel like my son he's learning in every aspect and have fun with it and not like spending time with a babysitter. Highly recommended!!!!

Jamie Osterhaus

My boys just started at the Learning Experience and I (and they) could not be more thrilled! They absolutely love it! The director is incredibly accommodating and was very gracious with my somewhat intense interview questions when I was conducting my daycare search. The center is incredibly clean. After only one day, when I walked the hallways all of the teachers in the entire facility knew both of my boys names! Everyone has a smile and the kids seem so happy. PLUS, they have this fantastic app and send me pictures of my kids throughout the day. I truly could not be more thrilled! Highly recommend this center.

Tiye Harris

I understand, like many how tough it is to find a childcare facility that you trust and like for your child. But for us The Learning Experience has been an incredible blessing and a breath of fresh air. What we LOVE: -Our 2 1/2 year old son loves going to school. He actually asks about going to school on the weekends. :) -The Administration and staff are extremely cordial, professional, and friendly. Just about everyone know us and addresses us by name. -In addition to the school Director and Assistant Director one of the owners is usually on site every day. That is just something you just don't (and won't) find anywhere else. -There is an actual curriculum, with bi-annual (no stress) assessments and optional parent/teacher/administration conferences. As a former teacher this means the world to me! To know I don't have to wait until my son is in Kindergarten to track his progress is OUTSTANDING!! - TLE is intentional about involving the parents. The Summer Luau, Mother's Day Tea, Father's Day Party, and Grandparents Day have all been wonderful highlights of our TLE Experience. We can't speak higher of this school! Mrs. Harris

Very bad experience.

Cara Finn

So happy to have my son here! We decided he needed more enrichment than his in-home daycare provided, and toured several different daycare centers before settling on TLE. TLE was the clear choice for us - very warm, clean, safe, great teachers, wonderful curriculum. It just felt right. As for any 1.5 year old, change can be tough - and he was rather upset the first week or so. The teachers were warm and loving and really helped him get comfortable, and he's thrived since settling in. Now he claps and says "yay" when I drop him off! While social, he's picky about adults he's affectionate with - and I've seen him hugging his teachers! I feel really good about where he spends his days, I'm so so happy with our decision to choose TLE!

Faculty/Staff: Miss Jenn from day 1 has welcomed our daughter with care and open arms. She made her feel comfortable, and was very attentive to her after we explained our nightmare experience with a previous daycare. Our daughter never cried and was so happy from day 1!! She even went as far as to take pictures and email them to us through the next few days to show us that she was having a good time. Actually, we still get pictures every time they have a special event at school. Cant explain enough how comforting it was to us as well our daughter. The teachers and staff are flexible and accommodating to each child. Every morning we see how happy they are to have our daughter and every afternoon we get an update for the day. Facility: The facilities, bathrooms, classrooms, toys, and playground are always clean and sanitized if need be. The facility has what they call a make believe boulevard which is like an indoor playground with a ball pit, slide, puppet show space, and pretend buildings. The facility has a multipurpose room which contains a smartboard for additional class learning activities. They believe in kids getting fresh air so they contain a system which constantly filters and circulates outside air. They have 2 playgrounds; one for older kids and one for younger kids. Secure entrance to the building is only allowed by a key fob and sign in/out of children is done via computer with pin numbers to keep a history for students. Curriculum: Curriculum, classroom books, toys, and activities are tailored to appropriate age groups. Every week there is a new LEAP workbook for students to work in, where they focus on specific subjects every week. In addition to workbook and various art activities, they also learn sign language and spanish. An interesting thing they do is bring outside kid affiliated organizations for activities. For example: a farmer came to read to them with his pig, a fitness/sports organization, and a photography company that had a bunny come in to take pictures with the kids. Lunches and snacks are healthy and fun for kids. Other: Not only are they thoughtful of children but they keep parents in mind. They have parents night out or Mommy days where they provide a few hours of childcare for a minimal fee. Family events such as having an Easter egg hunt recently. On occasion they provide a quick breakfast for parents in the mornings. Wrap Up: I can't express enough how happy we are with TLE Chantilly. It is a family feel which seems lost the days, the education and facility are fantastic, and most importantly our daughter loves it there!!

I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have enrolled my daughter at The Learning Experience in Chantilly, Va. The staff is always on top of everything that she needs throughout the day. Ms. Joann is her teacher and can not begin to say how much at ease I am dropping Rylee off with her everyday. You can tell she treats all the kids as if they are her own. Thanks again to all the staff for such a great first experience for a first time dad. -Chad Garrison

Our daughter attends TLE Chantilly. She just moved to toddler class. She was in the infant class when the facility opened in October 2012. This is a new facility, very clean. The student to teacher ratio is low. The teachers at infant class encouraged her to talk and walk. The teachers are experienced and very affectionate. They have lots of activities for the kids and the teachers support the children to be independent in the current class. My daughter attended another school before this and I think she is thriving here.

Kelly Kloz

We send our son here and we absolutely love it. He's only 4 and they have taught him to read. He feels so good about himself and he's so proud of his accomplishments. He enjoys his time here and doesn't want to leave. The staff is warm, welcoming, caring, and knowledgeable. We feel comfortable sending our son here which speaks volumes for two full time working parents.

Danielle Conroy

My daughter is 4 months old and has been at TLE at Chantilly for about 8 weeks. We chose this daycare center because the staff is very friendly, good security, close to home, early drop off hours, clean, and competitive tution rates. We have only been in one classroom so far but my daughter seems to love it! She is always happy to see the teacher in the morning as is she to see my daughter! My daughter is also happy every day when I pick her up. They send home "baby talk" sheets every day that shows tummy time, bottles, diapers, naps, and any additonal comments such as what they did during the day. This has been very helpful. They also do lots of arts and crafts with the babies (handprint and footprint artwork) that decorates the classroom. It is nice to see everyday. :) Highly recommend!!

Melissa Tarrant

We love TLE in Chantilly! My little one is almost 18 months and has been attending about 2 months. We transitioned her from another daycare and it is amazing how well she adjusted in such a short time. It is no doubt a direct reflection on the great staff they have there. They are all warm and caring people. The owners and directors are very hands on and you can tell they take great pride in what they do. The facilities are wonderful and we love that they bring the fresh air into the building, all day every day! We have been happy with the care that is provided and will highly recommend this school to everyone!

Stephanie Batbouta

We have been part of the TLE family for almost 5 years and our kids have thrived there. It's a personable, encouraging, and fun daycare. Their curriculum is always something new and exciting for kids of all ages. My 4.5 year old was very prepared for his school after TLE. The administration always has a listening ear with concerns, are very responsive and they want to make it the best experience for your son or daughter. For the price and the quality, TLE is probably the best in the area.

Spaski Reddy

I can not say enough wonderful things about this school.My daughter is the 5th kid in the school and this school is grown over last 3 years very big and now it has around 120 + children. This shows how excellent the school is.The teachers are amazing with my daughter who was very shy and needed a little extra help transitioning.She has learned so much over this past few years and a lot of that we definitely owe to the teachers and the nurturing learning environment that she has been exposed to. The teachers are so patient, kind, nurturing and always keep me informed and the Manager/Owner MS Jennifer has always been very accommodating and thorough.Teachers will give the assignment at the end of the each week that what she learned during the week and give the assignments to do at home. Teachers are writing what my daughter ate how much quantity she ate and post it to her cubby so when i go in the eveing to pick her up , I will know how much food she had by looking at that note.Overall she is getting great development/learning Experience at this TLE(The Learning Experience).

Meghan Heaney

I love this daycare. My son and daughter have been attending this school for the past 3 months. Recently my son has had some behavior problems (he is a toddler so nothing too serious). Instead of immediately kicking out my child they have been working one on one with us to try and correct his behaviors. They are very understanding of the fact that for a child his age what he is going through is normal. They are very knowledgeable about the proper techniques to correct a child's behavior. I appreciate everything that they have done for us. I also love them because it is like handing my child over to a family member and not just someone who is watching him!

After visiting school after school we decided to go with TLE and we are thankful we did. Our daughter is learning so much and is excited to share her day with us when we pick her up. She loves TLE and we do too!

We found the brand new TLE in Chantilly last November, just as our daughter was approaching the wonderful, curious and impressionable age of 1. The center had been open just under 2 months. We wanted to find a center that would offer a more structured format to promote learning and development in addition to play and providing a safe, loving and nurturing environment for our child. TLE was the center to do just that! The facility is beautiful, safe and secure. Each classroom is very inviting and fully equipped with the essentials to create a home away from home environment for the children. Each day of every week, parents can feel confident that their child is learning and developing in all the right ways. Lesson plans for my toddler include building skills in the areas of sensory/touch reading, art, music/motion, manners/feelings, etc. She's also learning sign language and Spanish in her classroom, and getting exposed to history, culture and all kinds of new things in ways that are fun and creative. The staff at the TLE has been a huge part of our positive experience thus far, namely the center's business manager/owner, Mrs. Jennifer V. Mrs. Jennifer works very hard to ensure the center is up and running and that the parents and the teachers and staff have the support they need. She cares about the kids, what they are learning and she does a fantastic job engaging the parent's day in and day out. The center Director, Ms. Jackie is also a welcomed addition to the center. She engages the children on their level and is readily available to address any questions or concerns a parent may have. The leadership and staff do an outstanding job of communicating with the parents and they even take the time to send pictures on occasion of my child doing various activities during the day. We love that! Overall we love TLE! My daughter smiles every day when we drop her off. She loves her teachers, and TLE friends. She hesitates to leave every day. She learning and growing by leaps and bounds. The center is very reasonably priced for all they offer, especially in comparison to other children's learning centers in the Northern VA area. With the prices, the level of professionalism, service and amenities this center provides, it will be no surprise as the number of new families enrolled continues to soar. Great job TLE!!

Heather Abdo

My three year old son came home the first week being able to point out and name the Statue of Liberty on a landmark map! As an educator, I wanted my son to attend a place that would not only provide love and care, but also a solid foundation for when he begins elementary school. The Learning Experience is that place!

Leanne Fortney

My son currently attends the Learning Experience for before care services. Everyone has been absolutely wonderful with him and we could not be happier. Every morning he's excited that he gets to meet with his friends and have a good time before the school bus picks them up.

Elena Sokolovski

Both of my kids (daughter - 4.5 years old and son - 1.5 years old) attend the Learning Experience (TLE) in Chantilly, VA. It is a wonderful school/daycare center, which has caring and experienced teachers, a very interesting academic curriculum, a safe and clean facility with amazing inside play areas and a good outside playground. The center offers a lot of fun activities. As an example, during this month kids enjoyed a visit from a local farmer, a fun bus, and an egg hunt. Ms. Jennifer, the owner, is a hands-on manager, who knows every child at her center and helps cater to child's individual needs on a daily basis. She is a very kind, friendly person, who loves kids. And of course, kids love her back! Ms. Jackie, the director, is an experienced child-care professional with a passion for early childhood education. She loves working with kids and very responsive to any parental feedback. Overall, we are very satisfied with this center. It offers the best price/quality ratio in our area.

Vicky Howland

We couldn't be happier with TLE! Our 2.5 year old son attends and he loves it! They do a lot of fun activities, he's learning a lot, and the staff is really friendly....he loves his teachers! We are so glad he likes it. We definitely recommend this center!

Kalpana Chavva

The Learning experience in Chantilly really offers wonderful child care. I have my 14 month old daughter there. My daugther is there from 3 months in the infant room.The teachers at The Learnign Experience are nurturing, loving, and staff turnover is minimal. My daughter loved all of the teachers. The director, Ms.Jennifer is absolutely wonderful. She knows each one of the children and their families and is really hands on. They offer innumerous fun activities for the children. It is a safe, nurturing environment, where children learn, develop and have lots of fun.

Carmen Spencer

Our 16 month old daughter has been at The Learning Experience for a year and we love it. She is always doing fun projects and has even learned sign language that she uses at home. I like the fact that there is a curriculum mixing learning and playtime.

Jennifer

We recently switch our 13 month old to TLE and we're glad we did. We saw a huge difference in our son's interactions and motor skills within the first couple of weeks. His teachers are very interactive and great with the kids.

I D Massey

Our daughter has only been in the infant classroom so far, but she loves it here already! The teachers pay special attention to her needs and cues and she is happy there when I drop her off and when I pick her up.

Steven Portobanco

TLE Chantilly has been a blessing for our daughter. The first daycare/preschool we had our daughter attend was miserable, she ended up crying there every day for almost 2months. The teachers seemed like they did little to comfort her and make her just feel comfortable there. We pulled her once we found TLE. Immediately she felt at home there and has never cried and loves her teachers. The ownership and teachers are not only attentive and caring to kids but to parents as well. They have many different events for parents and kids, even on occasion holding evening care to allow parents a date night. They also understand how our area puts an emphasis on education and the importance of early learning. When our son is old enough he will definitely be going to TLE as well.
