As my daughter's momma and Grandmother to TLE's recent graduate, Waverly my heart continues to be…read morewarmed by the love and care you've always shown us. The Learning Experience Buda stood by our family through the most devastating chapter of our lives--My daughter's heartbreaking brain cancer journey, which ended a year ago. My daughter's greatest concern was always her little Waverly. She was the BEST MOMMA! TLE wrapped Waverly in love, stability, and unwavering support, helping her feel safe, cherished, and encouraged every step of the way. I have never encountered a school community that radiates such deep compassion, professionalism, and wholehearted dedication to every single child. Waverly has truly flourished because of your nurturing care. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for our family. We will miss you as Waverly continues her journey in Kindergarten--confident, joyful, and well prepared for whatever comes next. With extreme Gratitude and Love to a special school TLE Buda.

Thanks to The Learning Experience Staff in Buda for providing excellent care…read more They were extremely warm, responsive, and welcoming us with an empathy They have a curriculum that is followed and emailed. You can check on your kid via phone application which comes super handy, and it is always great to see them smiling. Healthy breakfasts and healthy lunches are provided each day, along with snacks in between. They have a nice playground that the kids love playing on when it is nice outside. Along with the day-to-day activities, they are always doing special things like his first day was a reptile show :) Wednesdays are splash days. Pick-up/Drop-Off is extremely easy I never waited more than a minute. This is especially amazing when you compare it with public schools Pick-up/Drop-Off process We were sad to leave The Learning Experience Buda, but it will be always a great memory. As every parent will want the best for their kid, don't think twice. This is your spot.

We are so impressed by the updates we get (the app this school uses updates in real time instead of getting a report at the end of the day like our last place); it has made all the difference in our night routines knowing that she had a tough time taking a nap at 2 instead of figuring it out at home at 630. We also have enjoyed the extras that are at Sunshine Cottage -- huge playgrounds with age appropriate equipment, bikes/trikes to work on motor skills, dress up bins and play areas in the classroom, and (our latest exciting update) a dance class from an outside studio that is sooo affordable!

We experienced extreme instability, with at least 10 teacher turnovers in our classroom alone. Without lead teachers, the environment lacked structure, leading to incidents of teacher's yelling and writing up excessive incident reports. Major Safety & Management Red Flags: * Severe Negligence: My child was left outside alone and was banging on the door to come back in (documented with the state) and was left in a bathroom with an unauthorized adult without staff realizing she had left her group. * Unstructured Aftercare: Most incidents occurred during the 60-kid aftercare "nightmare," which lacks any meaningful supervision. * Financial Gatekeeping: The school often holds children back in YCC (Toddler) longer than necessary just to collect higher fees, regardless of whether the child has mastered the curriculum. * Exclusionary Practices: Extracurriculars like soccer are restricted by age (4+), effectively excluding half of the mixed-age Children's House (2.5-6) classrooms. * Retaliation: Be prepared for your child's hours to be cut to half-days as a way to slowly push you out. Communication is a "secret" here; I never received enough communication or updates on my child's progress. Enough was enough. If you raise any concerns, the director deflects blame onto the child. Please check the state's licensing website for their violation history. Your child deserves a safe, attentive environment--not just to be a number in a crowded room. Disabling Google reviews to limit transparency is a clear indicator of the issues present here.

My family and I had a horrific past couple of months at this daycare!…read more If your child is 2-2 1/2 I would not enroll at all!! My son has been in daycare since he was 6 months old with absolutely no problems until he came into this classroom. He started putting nonfood items into his mouth (though it is debatable whether he was actually "eating" or mouthing the objects- I have documentation of her saying he would spit it out more than once) He was ONLY exhibiting this behavior at daycare predominantly in the morning with this certain teacher. His father and I, babysitters, friends and extended family members did not see this behavior whatsoever. But, taking these accusations very seriously I took my son to his pediatrician and brought the concerns to her. We had his labs checked and his toxin levels in which he passed and they told me he did not have pica. Yet, daily reports from this teacher (his afternoon teacher only wrote him up ONCE for this behavior) & daily messages kept coming.. even when I expressed this was really stressing me out bc I couldn't do anything to help this behavior & I'm 36 weeks pregnant. This teacher even started following him around with a notebook & writing his every behavior down. (An OT said she was grossly unqualified to be doing so) I felt helpless that my son was doing this there but no where else. I couldn't get on to him to help. I was having to trust them.. which was hard but, I really wanted this to work. After they suggested to take him in for an evaluation for a disability/delay or sensory issue and telling me "it can be hard to hear your child needs a diagnosis", and fighting every fiber inside of me- I set up an assessment to get him evaluated. I was tired of feeling anxious every time I saw them pop up on my phone, I was tired of stressing & I was growing weary of my sons behavior when he was getting dropped off. He use to love going to school. He would run to his class!! Now he wanted his blankie and pacifier to walk in, or would hide behind me whenever he saw this woman. I should of listened to my instincts. He was evaluated by Any Baby Can on 4/25 (a service THEY recommended and then let me know they didn't really know what an evaluation was lol) by an occupational therapist and an early childhood interventionist. He was deemed a normal 2 year old with no diagnosis and no services needed. Ecstatic, I called to let the daycare know he was okay & they said it was a behavior that he has to gain attention from the teacher and advice they had given me to modify the behavior! I was then asked to get an evaluation at the daycare instead since he's better one on one and in small groups or at other places but not there. I told them that's not how this works, they found no disability, that if he had one then it would be present in every environment no matter who was around. This is strictly a behavior. That's when the assistant director said she didn't even know what an evaluation consisted of. I was very upset that I had obliged to everything they had asked, even against my better judgement. So upset in fact that I had to go to the hospital Monday with preterm contractions. On Wednesday, 4/27, I sent an email so I would have documentation of what was said- explaining in detail what an evaluation was, what was looked at, the findings, why it's a behavior that could be modified at the daycare and ways to approach it and that my husband and I are listening to the experts when it comes to our son. Only to receive a phone call 6 hours later to tell me that our son is being unenrolled effectively immediately due to me being unsatisfied with the care he was receiving and bc I wasn't taking the reports on him seriously. ARE YOU KIDDING?!? I did everything they asked of me!! Luckily I have great documentation of the harassment and discrimination given to my child and myself regarding this issue. There's so much more to this too, but this review is already way too long lol RUN FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT unless you want unqualified people telling you they know more than the ones with the degrees!!!
