Language and early literacy programs to inspire natural curiosity in reading and communicating.

Sign Language Our kind-hearted friend, Gibby Gibbon®, was born deaf and loves showing our little learners how to communicate with sign language . He shows children that everyone is unique in their own way and helps them embrace the abilities of others. Starting in the Infant classroom, sign language is introduced to help children learn how to communicate their needs and express their emotions. Research continues to demonstrate the positive benefits that learning sign language provides in early childhood, from encouraging the development of larger vocabularies and IQ levels to minimizing frustration and developing a closer bond with caregivers.

Phonics Our literature-loving llama, Phoebe Phonics®, instills a passion for reading in our little learners through our early literacy program, Phonics with Phoebe . This program provides an interactive approach by incorporating visual, auditory, and tactile instructional strategies to meet the needs of all learners. Children will also build their confidence as they learn their letters and sounds. Through catchy songs, leveled readers, and a whole cast of Phonics characters, the children acquire the tools necessary to begin their reading journey.

Foreign Languages Get your passports ready! Our tiny travelers, Tito Toro® and Ping Panda®, enjoy visiting countries around the world as they explore different cultures and learn foreign languages with our curious learners . This highly interactive program introduces our Preschoolers to different languages, cultures, and countries from around the world by using songs, games, virtual field trips, and hands-on exploration. Research shows learning a second language at an early age improves a child’s academic performance, increases problem-solving skills, and advances cognitive abilities. This lays the groundwork for many future opportunities.

I love this place! My son has been going here for two years and he has learned so much! Every day he comes home with new knowledge; he knows Spanish, yoga, state birds and flowers, facts about different Spanish- speaking countries, he’s reading, doing math, science, etc. The Learning Experience has not only prepared him for kindergarten, but they have helped instill in him a lifelong love of learning. - Talisa from North Brunswick, NJ

The Learning Experience hands down is the absolute best daycare / preschool in town. Our daughter has been attending this school for almost 3 years. The staff is amazing, they listen to your concerns and love your little one as if they were your own. - Heather from Deerfield Beach, FL

STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, Math ) programs to introduce children to real-world, hands-on learning opportunities, and 21st century skills.

Science Meet Lionstein®, our wise and creative scientist, who makes science captivating and engaging for even our youngest learners. Lionstein® helps children learn through self-discovery and problem-solving as they build, experiment, test, create, research, and explore the world around them. Your little one will learn science concepts through hands-on exploration, cooperative learning, and inquiry-based investigations. They will explore the importance of the scientific method as they make predictions and form hypotheses, carry out experiments, and share their results. This fosters an excitement for scientific discovery and develops critical-thinking skills.

Math Two Plus Toucan® is our creative mathematician who helps children explore the wonders of math . Math is a fundamental component of our robust STEM curriculum, as it lays the foundation for future academic success. Beginning with the building blocks of math, Two Plus Toucan® supports number recognition and sorting, as well as more complex skills such as patterning, addition, measuring, graphing, and more. Our comprehensive math program helps children develop emergent math skills and lays the groundwork for more abstract concepts. Your little one will learn through hands-on activities that help build their fine motor and early numeracy skills. Technology Our computer savvy giraffe, Techni Cal®, loves sharing his passion for technology and innovation by integrating the latest digital learning tools into our curriculum . Our L.E.A.P. Interactive® touch boards feature the latest educational technology components and help bring our curriculum to life. Beginning in the Prepper room, based on state regulations, children participate in L.E.A.P. Interactive® activities that allow them to touch, trace, tap, drag, and write, as well as take virtual field trips via Google Earth and interact with real-time videos. L.E.A.P. Interactive® helps our little learners explore the great big world right from the comfort and safety of their classroom.

Whole child wellness to foster an active and healthy lifestyle and teach important life values such as kindness and giving .

Physical Fitness Flexi Flamingo® is our passionate fitness guru who helps little learners discover the benefits of an active lifestyle by sharing the joys of fitness and making healthy choices. Starting in the Toddler classroom, children engage in daily physical fitness activities that help them develop gross motor skills and feed their growing bodies and minds. Daily physical fitness lessons guided by Flexi Flamingo® include upbeat songs and dances that show age-appropriate stretches, movements, and healthy eating habits. This helps to establish a foundation for an active and healthy lifestyle at a young age.

Manners & Etiquette Penny Polite® is our well-mannered etiquette coach who helps little learners understand the importance of having manners. Penny Polite® helps to reinforce basic concepts such as sitting “tummy to the table” or saying “please” and “thank you.” She also goes above and beyond to show children important values such as sharing, taking turns, and being kind to others. Penny Polite® helps to develop our little learners into compassionate, honest, and helpful The Learning Experience® citizens.

Philanthropy Our dynamic doggy duo, Grace The Greyhound® and Charity Chihuahua®, introduce the importance of generosity and giving through the teaching of philanthropy. Our philanthropy curriculum teaches our little learners that, “It doesn’t matter how big or small you are; it’s the size of your heart that matters.®” Through this one-of-a-kind program, children learn first-hand what it means to give, contribute, and make a positive difference in society through monthly philanthropic activities, hands-on lessons, and books.

Every April, we host a special philanthropy tradition in partnership with Make-A-Wish: Let’s Grant Wishes! Let’s Grant Wishes allows our little learners to put the important life values they’ve learned all year into action to benefit children battling critical illnesses. To date, our centers, families, team members, and community partners have raised more than $7 million!
