I have a son that is very sensitive to the way adults speak to him. His speech is not very clear and some people probably assume he isn’t that smart but his emotional IQ is very high. If an adult has a “tone” in their voice, he knows it and gets upset. He can’t be around authoritarian teachers or else it causes him to get stubborn and angry.He is also a very difficult eater! Like he eats 5 things. All together a very challenging kid (but so sweet). We had struck out of 2 other child care centers and our friends highly recommended this place. I decided to tour and I could tell the caretakers were so gentle. So we enrolled him over summer (he was almost 5) and he had the BEST experience! His teacher Alyssa was so amazing and gentle that it blew my mind how someone without kids could be so good.We can’t stop telling people about this place. Our boy is still talking about his “old school” and it’s now November. This place is a rare find.

We LOVE Fort Collins TLE! Fantastic staff, little turnover, great communication, and our daughter is happy to be dropped off in the mornings. Thank you for the care you provide to our little one!

The staff is great, and my children are learning. A reliable childcare is hard to find, especially post Covid. This childcare facility has great structure and curriculum, a present owner who really cares about children, and a staff that shows passion for children. Both of my littles attend here, and they are growing and learning every single day.

We have loved having our two boys at TLE the past 5 years and are sad to leave for elementary school. In addition to teaching them the learning curriculum, TLE has also provided them with love and attention. They have also always been so accommodating to last minute schedule changes that we needed and do not close for weather/COVID, etc except in the most extreme cases.I would definitely recommend TLE to those looking for daycare with a "small town" feel as they know your whole family and treat your kids like family.

My two kiddos loved their time at TLE Fort Collins! They were always so eager to go into their classrooms and would be happily playing every time we picked up.I loved that my kids were always greeted by name when passing through the hallways, making them feel welcome and known. We’re grateful for the time we had here!

Our child was just kicked out of preschool last Friday with ZERO notice. I went into TLE Fort Collins to discuss a behavior plan after a rough day of not napping and acting out. I asked them if they were bringing any solutions to the table, to which they said they would just watch and record their behavior.I gave them an entire list of things that work at home. Such as, addressing them with a calm tone, redirecting, giving them jobs, etc. They responded with "we can't do those because it doesn't fit our way we do things". I left with nothing accomplished and got an email 5 minutes later saying they were terminating care for my child, immediately.I'm so frustrated and sad that they didn't even want to try with them and it feels like they're saying they are more trouble than they're worth. I'm devastated that they didn't get to say goodbye to any teachers or friends and are now being completely uprooted, which might make behaviors worse. What do I tell my child when they ask why we can't go back? I still don't understand why on earth the school decide to terminate IMMEDIATELY on a Friday evening when schools are closed on the weekend. I feel like that is the ultimate show of disrespect to us.No wonder they have been on probation by the state. My child loved 3 of their teachers like family and I'm so crushed right now. They've been asking why they can't come back to see their friends and it is absolutely gut wrenching. I gave them many solutions and they ultimately told me they couldn't do their job properly.So, if your child has sensory issues and needs a little extra love, I would not recommend TLE. I just wish they would have just given them another shot and tried some of our solutions.

We enrolled our baby with The Learning Experience and have nothing but positive things to say about this facility. My wife had to go back to work when our girl was just six weeks old. Of course we were so sad to have to take her to daycare but the staff made us feel so comfortable leaving her in their hands. They are very kind, caring, and supportive. I have not only noticed this in our baby’s classroom but I see the love and kindness in every classroom window I look through. Thank you for all that you guys do!

I am very impressed with TLE! My children have been to 2 other childcare centers where even 2 months in, they were unhappy all day long. Here at TLE, my kids adjusted within the first week and are excited to go to school everyday! The teachers here have made me feel comfortable enough to go to work without having to worry about my children. The owner, Sara Brownell, is incredible and is very involved with her school. She greets us every morning at drop off and makes us feel welcome, involved, and confident at TLE. The teachers in the classrooms greet us with smiles each day and really show a love for their job and for my children. Overall, TLE is an incredible school and I recommend them to everyone looking for childcare!

This is the best preschool experience we’ve ever had! Between two kids and Covid closure changes, we have experience at both smaller and larger preschool/daycares. TLE was far and away the best of the best. The teachers were phenomenal and the staff was so welcoming. They made sure my son felt safe and cared for and were highly communicative. Their curriculum is engaging and I noticed an immediate advancement in his learning. And they provide lunches so you don’t have to pack! I’m so thankful my son got to finish his last 9 months of preschool there and I wish we had been there the whole time.

Our daycare search led us to our second home at TLE. From the first day, the culture of TLE was warm, welcoming, and supportive. Our son transitioned with ease, and when our daughter came, she found the same warmth and love in each of her classes.When COVID hit, I feel like it was the first week of drop offs that Jenn recognized that our son was having a hard time with the transition and "happened" to always be in the vestibule when we dropped him off. She was ready with a hug, some sort of distraction, and a smile to help him through the process (while not holding up the line!). One of my friends recently spoke of those people in your life that love your kids the way you do and how much you appreciate them. I can say we found that with Jenn, but it didn't stop there. The smiles, comments, jokes, laughs and hugs that our children get from the whole TLE staff as we walk through the hallways warms my heart.We have always felt confident leaving our children in the care of TLE. In fact, I have gone to the TLE staff for advice on more than one occasion.

We enrolled at the Fort Collins Learning Experience recently and couldn't be more pleased with our choice. We did a good amount of research of child cares in the area and toured many of them. Our tour at TLE was probably the best because the owner Sara gave us the tour and is present at the school everyday. You could tell how much she loved her school and her staff. She truly loves the littles and it shows in everything they do at the school. Our daughter was a bit shy when she started and they were so helpful in making her feel comfortable and she has changed in the most incredible ways since coming to TLE. Drop off was hard at first and now the only hard part is getting her to leave when we pick her up. The biggest difference we found in the schools we toured was TLE didn't have extra charges on top of the tuition for activities, lunch/snack, or the enrichment program. Everything was included in the price they quoted us on the tour. We couldn't be happier!!
