I am a full time working mom of 4 with kids ranging from 15 years old to 18months so I have a vast experience with daycare through out the years. TLE was opening when I was pregnant with my last baby, 18 months. TLE Ahwatukee is hands down the best center. First and foremost the staff is the absolute best. Shawntal, the director is amazing and I love how she runs the center and the quality of the teachers she hires. The center itself is clean, engaging, and safe. My favorite is the curriculum they do with each age range. My toddler is always involved in different activities from sensory play, books in reading time, music, and the outdoor playground. They even have a splash pad and I can’t wait for little one to get to play out there when it gets warmer. My daughter loves her teachers and I truly feel they care about her in return. On top of the day to day, they plan extra special events for the children and their families. Example, for Thanksgiving they planned an entire Thanksgiving meal for parents to come eat with their children and all the other families. For Valentines they planned a sweetheart dance, it was adorable all the little ones dressed up dancing around. For Christmas they had a photographer come take professional holiday photos and even the Grinch paid a visit to the little ones. I love the online app where I can see what my daughter is eating, when she needs more supplies, and photos throughout the day as she’s learning and playing. TLE Ahwatukee is extra special and I am so thankful to have them to care for my child while I have to go to work. I appreciate everything they do and I refer them to everyone I know!

This place feels like home. The women there treat us all like family. They take such good care of our littles! I feel so confident in their abilities to help raise my child. It gives me such a piece of mind when I go to work!

Where do I even start? We do not live near any family support and TLE Ahwatukee has made me feel as if we have family within the state. Our daughter started here at 7 months old. It became apparently quickly that every single staff member had a vested interest in my child’s development and well being. My daughter is now in the toddler room but walks past her infant teachers everyday and makes sure she gets a hug and blows a kiss before the start of the day.(where else do you find that?!) The facility is very clean and the staff is attentive. I love the curriculum as my child learns new life skills daily. The largest reason I refer everyone to this facility is because of the Director Shawntal and assistant Director Seleste. They are the absolute BEST in their industry! They have met any/every personal, development, scheduling or family situation I’ve ever brought them with understanding and prompt solutions. It is obvious they care for each child as if they were their own and have always viewed my family as an extension of theirs.I have referred numerous people to this facility because I truly believe being a working parent is hard enough, if you can drop your child off in an environment you know they are cared for, loved and their best interest is at heart- it makes getting through the day just that much easier.I am active military and use child care aware- if you are active military and don’t want any issues with your account, join TLE! I have had zero issues. If I could give this place 10 stars- I would!!

We absolutely love TLE Ahwatukee. Our daughter has been there since she was nine weeks old and she's going on two now. We have nothing but positive things to say. Shawntal (Director) and Seleste (Assistant Director) are fabulous, professional, and personable. Every teacher our daughter has had we love, and so does our daughter! The school is clean, well organized, friendly, and overall a happy place to be. They have fun/special activities for the kiddos throughout the year, on top of having a fantastic, creative curriculum.

The director Shawntal and assistant director Seleste are AMAZING!!!! I followed them to TLE from another center because they are so great and I trust them with my kids. They have hired some really amazing staff members across multiple age ranges. Teachers are friendly and happy and engaged with the children everyday at pickup and drop off, never see a bad attitude from staff! Kids are happy, fed well and completely loved. My son loves being dropped off everyday. Thank you TLE for a safe and educational environment.

Beyond thankful we found TLE Ahwatukee to care for our daughter. I was so nervous going back to work and leaving my 4 month old with someone else. The director Shawntal was so kind and patient with me, answering all my questions, reassuring us everything was going to work out and letting me call anytime I needed an extra update. A month later my daughter is thriving at TLE. She sleeps, eats and plays on a routine similar to what we do at home. The infant teachers, Maria and Bridget, are amazing. They truly care for all the babies in the room. My daughter lights up when she them in the morning. They do activities with her I never would have thought of. The curriculum even in the infant room is top notch. They also have an app where they update you on naps, feedings, and diaper changes. The best part of the app it the pictures they share, I look forward to them all day long while I'm at work. Most importantly this facility is clean! We toured several daycare facilities and this was by far the cleanest and best looking one in the area. It's only a few years old so everything is pretty much new. I would highly recommend TLE Ahwatukee to anyone looking for a trusted community to care for their baby.

Best daycare experience EVER. If you're considering a daycare and extra concerned as a parent, look no further. My son started here at 18 months after being in nanny care and he has THRIVED. He's now 2.5 and this place is my village and an extension of our family. Management and communication with Shawtal and Seleste is wonderful. Every teacher my son has had is wonderful and the teachers have been very consistent. They have some assigned teachers and some floaters, so very well staffed when someone is in need. Ms Nancy, Ms Heather, Ms Michelle, Ms Ashley, literally everyone I've interacted with not listed here, is just so fun and great and we have now been in the 1 year old room and the 2 year old room.There is a different curriculum theme every month and school characters that I didn't really care about when we started and now every other daycare ranks below this one for me because these guys are so coordinated and organized with things like this. They go the extra mile. My kid knows books and songs and activities and information from daycare. No screentime. When his sister was recently born, they helped us get past his biting and hitting phase very quickly with book and behavior recommendations and they were never shameful. They also have a great communication process if there is an incident (biting, got bit, got hurt, is sick with XYZ symptoms). I'm always in the know and the app is updated constantly throughout the day with his eating, diapers, naps, and photos.The facility is new, is always so incredibly clean, outdoor play area has turf and playground coverings and a splashpad in the summer. They are very communicative about illnesses going around.Everyone here truly cares. Everyone legit knows my kid, knows his name, knows his personality. We are not just another kid or number here at the school.This is a long review because they deserve it. This place is run soooooo smoothly, my son LOVES his daycare, and I absolutely trust them with my babies. If you're even possibly considering them, sign up.

I am truly grateful for the learning experience. As a first time mother, it’s hard to find people you trust to take care of your children. I have a two month old baby, so he is in the infant room. I love my sons teachers; they are amazing. They take care of him like if he were there own. I also enjoy the curriculum they have. They really try to succeed in their mission to get these children to reach their milestones. I am truly blessed to have found this place!

This is a heartfelt review that’s long overdue! I take this reviews and we’re of a preschooler at TLE. They keep this play clean, clean! My son was in another school and was consistently sick but rarely at TLE. They do a wonderful job at notifying the teachers!I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at The Learning Experience (TLE) over the past seven months. Our journey here was primarily driven by our desire to prepare our son for elementary school, and TLE has exceeded our expectations in every way.First and foremost, the staff at TLE is truly exceptional. Their compassion, love, and dedication are evident in every interaction we've had. Shawntel in her leadership role is outstanding. She is not just a leader but someone who genuinely loves what she does. She listens to our concerns, shares positive insights, and offers invaluable support throughout our journey. The decision to transition to elementary school was not an easy one, but Shawntel and her team supported us wholeheartedly, and that means the world to us.What sets TLE apart is the genuine care and commitment of its staff and it family. These individuals are more than educators; they are real people who deeply care about the children and families they serve. Even during challenging times, their support has been unwavering. We are thrilled to share that, upon further conversations, we plan to return this summer and enroll our son back into TLE during school breaks. Our time here has left an indelible mark on our hearts.Seleste has been instrumental in ensuring that our son, Israel, making sure we had what we need, checking in on us about our son, with his specific dietary restrictions and vegan needs, has everything he requires. Her ability to listen, incorporate feedback, and work seamlessly with Shantel and the team showcases a truly cohesive and dedicated team.Michelle, with her experience and caring nature, has done a phenomenal job caring for our son and all the other children. Her consistency and expertise have been a great source of comfort for us. We also want to express our gratitude to his peppers, read lees and preschool teachers Ms. Jailya Ms. Cheyenne, Ms. Roxanne, Ms Nancy, Ms. Michelle (pre-school teacher) and Shelby for their incredible one-on-one instruction and support to name a few.As our son transitioned through different programs as he aged and met milestones, he had the privilege of working with various staff members, and each experience was amazing showed him extra love. The learning experience at TLE is truly top-notch.Furthermore, TLE's openness to feedback and their willingness to address concerns make them stand out as an exceptional educational institution. They understand the importance of collaboration between parents and educators, creating an environment where our child thrived.Although we are moving to a different place, TLE will always hold a special place in our hearts. We eagerly look forward to the summer when Israel will be back at TLE. We are immensely thankful for this establishment, the incredible staff, and the loving community they've created. God bless TLE and all the individuals who work tirelessly to nurture and educate our children every day. ? ??

This is the BEST daycare experience we have had. They have an amazing curriculum that prepares our 4 year old for kindergarten with everything. The staff is just amazing. It is so refreshing coming from somewhere that he cried and hated to be dropped off at to somewhere where he looks forward to going to and wants to finish his tasks and say goodbye to all his teachers and friends.

My three year old son has been coming here for one year since they opened and it has been the best experience I could have hoped for. I feel comfortable dropping him off everyday knowing that not only will he learn but he will have a great time doing it, and he will be well taken care of. The staff there are amazing and there is always great communication. There has been great stability with the teachers so my son is not having to get used to new staff on a regular basis. Also, the app that is used lets me know everything that goes on throughout the day. I could not recommend The Learning Experience more.
