The Learning Experience - Enfield - Enfield, Connecticut

Chamy La Muñequita

At first they was really nice, and they are BUT they don't know how to work with kids with special needs specially kids with autism. I need to say this, every educator (specially child care provider) NEED to educate their self on how to work with kids with autism. This is not only about having another child in the daycare or more money for the daycare, we as a parent who works need to know that our kids are in good hands, and they understand them specially special kids in my case with autism. Basically and this is the way I feel they discriminated my child and kick him off the daycare.

Al principio eran muy amables, y lo son, PERO no saben cómo trabajar con niños con necesidades especiales, especialmente niños con autismo. Debo decir esto: todos los educadores (especialmente los proveedores de cuidado infantil) NECESITAN educarse sobre cómo trabajar con niños con autismo. No se trata solo de tener otro niño en la guardería o más dinero para la guardería, nosotros, como padres que trabajamos, debemos saber que nuestros hijos están en buenas manos y que los comprenden, especialmente a los niños especiales, en mi caso, con autismo. Básicamente, y así es como siento que discriminaron a mi hijo y lo echaron de la guardería.

The Learning Experience in Enfield was so welcoming of my son. They were great right off the bat with him with the transition. The staff there are extra kind, attentive and accommodating. I loved the extra things that they did - like the Trunk or Treat for their kids. I would recommend anyone looking for a daycare/preschool to look into this wonderful establishment.

When my sons grandparents could no longer watch my 1 year old, I started the frantic last minute search for local childcare. I must have called 10 places, only to be met with no availability, insane wait-lists, or no answer at all. TLE had plenty of availability and could get him in at the start of the month. Our first month had its ups and downs as one might expect with a new place with a 1 year old. But each day has been exciting to see photos of how your child is doing, and my child genuinely enjoys his time here every day, and the teachers are kind and helpful. They take the time to engage my child personally and with compassion. Recommend a look.

Like to preface this review by saying I RARELY write a review unless I feel it is in the best interest of the immediate community.

My wife and 18 month old were turned away at the door twice this week by the staff because they are understaffed and don’t have enough staff for each classroom.

Twice in one week my wife had to take off work because they could not accommodate my child.

The worst part, Melissa was completely unprofessional today and caused my wife to feel targeted because of her ethnicity

After Melissa stopped my wife and son at the door my wife sat in the parking lot to call me and numerous families came to the daycares door and dropped off their children.

BIG RED FLAG- when I went in after this happened express my disappointment and shock.. Melissa lied and tried to cover it up. She even had printed out the text that did not match my wife’s phone messages

Very concerning behavior.

2 formal complaints with state agency’s have been filed

Best of luck

My 3 year old has been attending TLE for about nine months. She has moved up through class levels a few times and had multiple teachers, and we’ve had great experiences with all of them. You can tell that her teachers really care about her, especially Miss Jocelyn and Mr. Josh. I have no issues when teachers are moved around to adapt to the day’s needs, as I know there are legal student:teacher ratios required for compliance, and they take this seriously. It also means that my child knows nearly every teacher in the building and vice-versa. Safety and security appear to be the top concerns at this facility and that aligns with mine as well. My only complaint is that their propriety app can be buggy, but it’s really no big deal. We are very happy here.

I am very happy with my grandson’s experience at TLE. He has never been socialized with other children before and Ms. Jackie and Ms. Aria are very patient, kind and understanding. We always get greeted by a smile and hello from all staff. Melissa and Nora are always available. The school has a positive, energetic vibe. Thank you for making my grandsons first experience with school a positive one. Joanne

The worst experience they accept my nephew and he have special needs is autistic no verbal and at the beginning everything was great then every day they have something to said about him and at the end of July they kicked him out of the day care. If you don’t have the knowledge if you don’t know how to work with kids with special needs you have to say it before you accepted no after 2 o 3 months. They are kids like the other ones but if you are not able to work with special kids DO NOT ACCEPTED AND DONT DISCRIMINATE THEM

My grandson Dylan goes here. He loves it and he loves his teacher Ms. Jocelyn. They really care about the kids. They introduce both learning techniques and fun together. Pictures from the facility are often sent during the day to his parents showing Dylan in various activities. We like that a lot. The location is secure, very neat and the staff is very friendly. A big thank you to everyone working here for taking such good care of our children. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.
