The Learning Experience - Ahwatukee

"I am a full time working mom of 4 with kids ranging from 15 years old to 18months so I have a vast experience with daycare through out the years. TLE was opening when I was pregnant with my last baby, 18 months. TLE Ahwatukee is hands down the best center. First and foremost the staff is the absolute best. Shawntal, the director is amazing and I love how she runs the center and the quality of the teachers she hires. The center itself is clean, engaging, and safe. My favorite is the curriculum they do with each age range. My toddler is always involved in different activities from sensory play, books in reading time, music, and the outdoor playground. They even have a splash pad and I can’t wait for little one to get to play out there when it gets warmer. My daughter loves her teachers and I truly feel they care about her in return. On top of the day to day, they plan extra special events for the children and their families. Example, for Thanksgiving they planned an entire Thanksgiving meal for parents to come eat with their children and all the other families. For Valentines they planned a sweetheart dance, it was adorable all the little ones dressed up dancing around. For Christmas they had a photographer come take professional holiday photos and even the Grinch paid a visit to the little ones. I love the online app where I can see what my daughter is eating, when she needs more supplies, and photos throughout the day as she’s learning and playing. TLE Ahwatukee is extra special and I am so thankful to have them to care for my child while I have to go to work. I appreciate everything they do and I refer them to everyone I know!"

"Where do I even start? We do not live near any family support and TLE Ahwatukee has made me feel as if we have family within the state. Our daughter started here at 7 months old. It became apparently quickly that every single staff member had a vested interest in my child’s development and well being. My daughter is now in the toddler room but walks past her infant teachers everyday and makes sure she gets a hug and blows a kiss before the start of the day.(where else do you find that?!) The facility is very clean and the staff is attentive. I love the curriculum as my child learns new life skills daily. The largest reason I refer everyone to this facility is because of the Director Shawntal and assistant Director Seleste. They are the absolute BEST in their industry! They have met any/every personal, development, scheduling or family situation I’ve ever brought them with understanding and prompt solutions. It is obvious they care for each child as if they were their own and have always viewed my family as an extension of theirs. I have referred numerous people to this facility because I truly believe being a working parent is hard enough, if you can drop your child off in an environment you know they are cared for, loved and their best interest is at heart- it makes getting through the day just that much easier. I am active military and use child care aware- if you are active military and don’t want any issues with your account, join TLE! I have had zero issues. If I could give this place 10 stars- I would!!"

"The director Shawntal and assistant director Seleste are AMAZING!!!! I followed them to TLE from another center because they are so great and I trust them with my kids. They have hired some really amazing staff members across multiple age ranges. Teachers are friendly and happy and engaged with the children everyday at pickup and drop off, never see a bad attitude from staff! Kids are happy, fed well and completely loved. My son loves being dropped off everyday. Thank you TLE for a safe and educational environment."

"I am truly grateful for the learning experience. As a first time mother, it’s hard to find people you trust to take care of your children. I have a two month old baby, so he is in the infant room. I love my sons teachers; they are amazing. They take care of him like if he were there own. I also enjoy the curriculum they have. They really try to succeed in their mission to get these children to reach their milestones. I am truly blessed to have found this place!"
