The Learning Experience - Banning Lewis Ranch - Colorado Springs, Colorado

My preschooler was here for about 2 months. She began demonstrating some concerning behaviors and saying she "hated school". We pulled her out and put her in a different school and she immediately went back to her happy self. She loves school again. The director is fine but the assistant directors have poor attitudes. Her teacher, Beth, seemed extremely overwhelmed and lacked basic knowledge concerning childhood development and behavior. I would never recommend this school to anyone with an active child who enjoys exploring surroundings. Even my child's pediatrician told me to get her out of this place. They rely heavily on screen time and God help you if your preschooler doesn't nap anymore.

Ms. Oka, Ms. Kenzie, Ms. Janessa and Ms. Angie take such good care of both of my daughters. Ms. Elisabeth and all the admin staff really try to make sure parents are informed. Very grateful to the teachers and the staff taking care of my kids. My kids also talk about certain foods they eat at school so that is great as well for my picky eaters. Overall I am so glad we enrolled my girls in TLE.

For the past 2.5 years, my son has been attending TLE-BLR, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful experience we’ve had. The teachers here are not only kind but always greet my son with warmth and genuine care, which means the world to me as a parent. Whenever I’ve had a concern or worry, the leadership team has always taken the time to listen and address it thoughtfully, making me feel supported every step of the way.

Like many parents, I was nervous about leaving my 2-year-old in daycare, especially with the stories we often hear. But over time, I’ve had the chance to get to know each of my son’s teachers, and it has given me a sense of peace and confidence that I didn’t expect. The care and dedication they show have made this place feel like a second home for my son.

There are four teachers in particular—Ms. Janessa, Mrs. Annegie, Ms. Beth, and Mrs. Becky—who have been instrumental in my son’s care and growth at TLE. Their love and commitment to the children are the biggest reasons I feel so comfortable and assured when I drop my son off each day. Knowing he’s in such capable and caring hands makes all the difference.

My daughter loves going to school. All the staff here are so caring and patient with the kids. They are also very flexible with the schedule when we have had family emergencies. She comes home having learned something new every day! Shout out to Mrs Elizabeth, Jen, Ria, and Zoe!!

Great facility and wonderful people! Everyone there is very friendly and helpful. Before joining, our son was mostly around us and our family and didn’t have a lot of interaction with kids his age. He has done really well and seems to be really enjoying it…he is almost 2, so a little hard to ask his opinion. 😉 The teachers and staff do a wonderful job! Now at drop off, he goes right to his teachers. Miss Val and Merjenna are amazing and so good with the kids! We get updates throughout the day and pictures which is wonderful to see! Also good to see what foods he is eating/not eating for planning meals. I would definitely recommend! It puts our minds at ease, knowing our son is well taken care of. If you are interested, I would get on the list early, as it took a little awhile to get our son in.

My kids have been going to this daycare since they first opened, and we still love it; especially with the current staff. All are great, but my all stars are miss Elisabeth, miss Aspen, miss Janessa, miss Angie, miss Becky, miss Beth, miss Cindy… the list could go on

Personally very happy with this daycare, we have been going here for so long and appreciate everything tle has done for us over the last 3.5 years.. and more to come.

We are very happy with the care our child gets at The Learning Experience - Banning Lewis Ranch. The caregivers genuinely care and I don't have any worries about leaving him there each morning. Ms. Madi is awesome and our baby smiles when she takes him in the mornings, so it makes dropping him off so much easier, knowing that he's happy to be there. They provide us with updates & photos throughout the day that let us know he's doing great and being well looked after. We have gotten offers of care from other facilities since our son started going here, but have never considered taking him out of The Learning Experience because we are so pleased with this place.

My daughter has been attending The Learning Experience (Banning Lewis) for almost two years now and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff are not only professional but also incredibly nurturing making it a warm environment to attend.

I like how the daycare provides a fun curriculum with monthly themes. The structured yet playful approach to learning has helped my child develop important social, cognitive, and motor skills. I’ve noticed significant growth in her ability to communicate, problem-solve, and engage with others.

I appreciate the attention to detail in ensuring a secure environment for all children. The facility is equipped with secure entry systems, and the staff are diligent in following safety protocols. My daughter has a peanut allergy and I feel comfortable with her attending daycare there. It is a peanut free facility but one time she was exposed to something made in a peanut facility at home before daycare started. When she arrived she showed no symptoms of an allergic reaction but shortly after, they recognized the early symptoms of her allergy and knew to call me and administer her medication.

Communication with the staff has been excellent. I receive regular updates on my child’s activities and pictures of her day. The transparency and open communication have instilled trust and confidence in the daycare. I love how when we walk in and when we leave, everyone acknowledges us by name with a “good morning” and “have a nice day” etc.

Overall, I highly recommend The Learning Experience to any parent seeking a nurturing, educational, and safe environment for their child. My experience has been nothing short of exceptional and I’m grateful for the positive impact it has had on my child’s early development.
