The director is dishonest, accusatory and predatory. This place needs to be audited. My daughter went to this center in 2023 when we moved back from Maryland and there were only problems. When the summer program was over I chose not to re enroll her in the before and after school program and the director tried to make it as difficult as possible by charging me for 2 additional weeks, accusing me of not giving a 2 week notice (she likes make accusations), even though I had never enrolled my daughter in the fall program. I spoke to the regional manager at the time, who adjusted my account to reflect a zero balance since I should not have been charged for the 2 extra weeks. Fast forward, I need before and after care for this school year and against my better judgment, decided to enroll here again. Huge mistake. The director pretends to be excited to have our business again, the first red flag though, we had to pay $150 up front before we were even able to register. In a rush I just paid it thinking this business is large enough to not be fraudulent... wrong. I was told the enrollment forms would be sent to my email immediately upon payment and they never came. I even showed up to the center and showed her where the funds were deducted from my account and she still insisted "Well, if you paid it would have gone through, you just have to wait and see if the bank processes the transaction, I will reach out to you on Saturday if it does...." She emailed me SUNDAY, despite telling me she'd reach out on Saturday, asking if I had received the forms... I hadn't. On Monday I enrolled my daughter at the Alphabest program offered at her school and then requested a refund from TLE....... When I called, the director asked if I had received the forms, I let her know I hadn't and would like a refund because the whole situation was messy and unprofessional. She then tells me she can't refund me because "I have an outstanding balance from 2023." 2023! And the balance was never brought up during me trying to re enroll. I tell her that is incorrect and I have a statement from the regional manager at the time that shows my balance being zero. She still goes to accuse me of not answering her phone calls about the balance.... I NEVER received any contact from that center after receiving my ending statement from the regional director. The dishonesty and unwillingness to take accountability is so unprofessional here. I've been trying to contact these people for almost a week now. I've had to report the charges to my bank. I've always gotten bad vibes from the director here, she is VERY disorganized, incompetent and dishonest. Not sure if my race has anything to do with it, but she was and still is a nightmare to deal with. Too add, to date I have yet to receive a receipt, confirmation of payment or statement for the transaction or "balance due." read more

Booked a tour online. Received a confirmation text and email. We took off work early to go to this tour- we showed up and the women behind the desk said there's no tour- she's the only one there- we explained we booked it through the website- she said "oh that's why- we need to reschedule" I said before we do that- could I ask I about the tuition rate? She said "it depends" and looked like a dear in headlights. I said oh what?? She asked what school my child attended then said uhhhh I don't think we have availability- we're probably all booked..... I walked out. What on earth. read more

One of the first places I called was this one and I know that daycares usually will like to schedule a tour M-F during business hours but with my new work schedule it was not going to work for me at least at that time, and my husband and I needed to get our daughter into a daycare very soon since my schedule was changing. So I explained this to the director there and she said Saturday was fine to stop by that morning and that she would be there plus my husband was home so he could also be there with me which I mentioned. Then after that tour on a different day when daycare would be in session I could always try to stop by as well again. That way we could see how the day went and if it would be a right fit for our daughter. The price wasn't my favorite, but I guess it's what most daycares do charge these days... So come that Saturday morning, at 9am(the scheduled time for the tour we set up with the director) my daughter, myself, and my husband showed up. HOWEVER, the director DID NOT! We ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes and then left. I was pissed! What good is it to schedule an appointment if a person who runs a business can't even show up? I understand that it was a Saturday and not a normal M-F morning tour schedule but when you tell someone you are willing to come in on a Saturday morning for them, set it up, and then don't show up, you just lied and also lost potential business. That morning I even rescheduled a vet visit time for our dogs because of the tour time that day. Plus I could have gotten a lot done that needed to be but, again, I showed up and on time and the director was not there. Two days later I ended up calling a couple of other places and ended up scheduling a time to go see another daycare even closer to us and I had to work later that day of the appointment since my new schedule started. We had to find something that day! Let's just say I was stressing out at this point. I went in with my daughter and took the tour of that daycare and I signed her up that same day! Plus the price was much more reasonable for us. I was happy(and am happy) that we found a good daycare for our daughter). It was a true blessing! Overall, I do NOT recommend The Learning Experience daycare at all. For us and our little family it was not a good place. Lying to people is not good for any business. Especially if it is a place I have to trust that will take care of my child. read more

My son was at an at home center. He always did well there, but he was having trouble socializing with others. Last May I enrolled him in this center. To say he has thrived is an understantment. He loves going there, gets excited of the many programs offered for free (such as the music program). I myself am a teacher. I am impressed with the staff and teachers within the bulilding, so much that I also moved my 12 month old to the center also. Every teacher they both encounter are amazing with children and loving. It is also an extremely clean establishment. The staff and owners clearly love children and you can tell! read more

We recently relocated to the area. Comparing this daycare center to the one she was in before... there is no comparison. My daughter recieves the exact attention she needs. She is learning quickly and is excited to go everyday. I am so happy with everyone from the owner to every teacher I speak to. Everyone knows my daughter and shows me that they care. If your looking for a place in manassas, look no further!!! read more

My family has been using K12 for over 8 years and it has been a good fit for our family. The materials are thorough and my children have been engaged. We have experience with both the online public school side and independent courses. We will continue to use the curricula this school year! read more

My kids have gone to a lot of daycares but The Learning Experience is the number one out of them all. You can just tell. Great staff, friendly, punctual. Have a very great relationship w/ director, assistant director, & teachers. It's like you're all a big family. You feel your kids are very well taken care of. Great place! Definitely would recommend to other families! The location is just great as well! read more

This school has been the biggest blessing for us. Before enrolling our son, we called and toured every single preschool/childcare facility within 25 miles. This school blew me away. The curriculum that they teach the children is fascinating. My 3 year old comes home and the things he tells me that he learned that day are mind-blowing! The projects that they do are so cool. I know he will be ready for kindergarten when he is 5, without a doubt. His teachers, Miss Claudia and Miss Amrita are AMAZING. They are so engaged with the students and there is no better feeling than knowing he is the best hands while I am at work. They truly love the kids- and that is so important when working in childcare. They handle any incidents that happen appropriately, and are so good about letting you know about it. They also tell me stories about what my son has said or done during the day which is just so cool and makes you feel good. The director, Mrs. Desiree is awesome too. She doesn't just sit at a desk collecting money like other places - you will see her walking the halls and talking to the kids (which she knows almost all, if not all of them by name)!!! My only regret is that I wish we had found this place sooner!! My son has improved so much since we enrolled him here, the difference in his knowledge from here vs. his old preschool is amazing. I can not express how much we love this place and how much our son enjoys going here. read more

Our kid was 3 years old and attending Learning Experience full time End of the year 2015. One day the director/owner called my wife in the after noon at work telling her to come right away because our kid has accident, m wife called me both stopped work and came right away we found the kid was crying and scared, his bottom lip was deeply cut with scissor and bleeding no medical action was taking accept putting regular cotton to stop bleeding and they try to calm him with milk and cookies, we we asked him what happened he said his classmate cut him with scissor and director/owner she said that he did it to him self and when we asked for the cam video to see exactly what happened she said at first I can't we pushed for it then said we are not tapping and then said recorder is broken,then she asked us to pay for the week because it was a Thursday,no consideration from her no medical attention very cold lady, anyhow you the future and recent parents got the picture i hope, we end up taking our kid at the emergency room, paying for two stitches and his bottom lip and surviving all the screaming and him calling us and saying {Please mommy I wanna go home, Daddy take me home} his mom crying almost fainting and we could not do nothing, not to mention our time and emotions we went through we would not recommend this school for no one because if anything happen to your kids he and you will be just a money maker to the school and nothing else, enough said me and my wife are not recommending this school and we can backup our story anytime with the medical records proof and other facts. Overall very inconsiderate school,not worthy and not to recommend at all. read more

We put our son into infant care at TLE when the facility was just opening after a bad experience with an in-home daycare provider. We stayed with TLE until we moved and enrolled our daughter as well. I can't speak highly enough about TLE. They provide excellent care while preparing the kids for school in a challenging yet nurturing way. The facility itself is new and well maintained. The staff is qualified, motivated, and genuinely interested in the childrens' development and well being. Were were sorry to have to leave TLE when we moved. I would recommend to anyone in the Manassas/Gainesville area. read more
