Where do I even begin? My son and I have been part of the TLE family for almost a year now, and I truly don’t know where we’d be without them. They have been such a blessing to our family. Without TLE, I honestly don’t know how I would have been able to work or make it through each day with the peace of mind that my son was in such caring hands.
My son has grown so much since starting at TLE. Seeing how excited he is every single morning to go to school says everything. He has learned so much, built confidence, and genuinely loves being there.
From day one, we were welcomed with so much love, kindness, and generosity. The teachers and staff have always treated us like family, and they have opened their hearts to us in more ways than one. Their patience, support, and genuine care have meant more to me than words can express.
Thank you to everyone at TLE for everything you do each and every day. You have made such a positive impact on our lives, and I will forever be grateful for the love and care you’ve shown my son. I couldn’t recommend TLE more highly!

Ms. Alyssa was extremely kind, informative and reassuring during the process, which made us feel like this was the right place! She was so helpful in answering all our questions and was one of the main reasons we decided to come here.
Fast forward several months later and best decision! Our little girl lights up with a big smile when she sees the staff and her teachers Ms Dawna, Rosie and Nancy every morning. We could not be more happy with our choice, they cherish and treat your kids well. Thankful this is in our backyard.

Both my son and Daughter have gone through TLE. I will be so sad when my son is done in July. My son has had the privilege of having Ms. Bridget as his teacher for two years. It was so comforting knowing my son had a second mom to be with every day, who loved and cared for him like I do, while also letting him be himself and embracing all the craziness toddler boys bring. We will never forget Ms. Bridget and will be forever grateful for her impact on my family. ❤️

Zach Mullins5 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Zach has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We enrolled our son at The Learning Experience in Cinnaminson with the expectation that he would be in a safe, supervised environment. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.
Our son was physically harmed by other students while under the school’s supervision. This was not an isolated minor incident — it involved multiple children and resulted in significant distress for our child and our family.
As parents, safety is non-negotiable. We did not feel that adequate supervision or appropriate corrective measures were in place to protect him. After this incident, we made the decision to withdraw him from this school immediately.
Besides the abuse, we had other issues. They tried to dictate what he could and couldn't eat. For example I packed him an oreo as a treat in his lunch box one day (along with his meal) and the teacher said no because it was "unhealthy". Not only that but they hired a new "teacher" who never taught anything, thought they could discipline my son by with holding food and had a terrible attitude.
This is the absolute worst place in the area that you could send your child. They have cameras that very conveniently don't record as they are only "monitored" by someone who "didn't see anything" and when you have evidence of marks they then say "oh well, ya, the teacher did see that happen, but it wasn't a big deal".
Stay as far away from this place as you can. They will turn the other cheek and LET your child be harmed! I have all emails and recordings of conversations for anyone interested in their BS!

The environment is welcoming and clean im grateful for the staff my daughter had a hard time transitioning but they were so nice and caring and patient with both of us because I was nervous for her as well, now she is adjusting great and it’s good they send updates and photos of your kid through out the day.
