The Learning Experience
Preschool in Belmar, NJ 07719
Thank you for your interest in The Learning Experience at Wall, NJ. We offer premier child care to children ages six weeks to five years and after school care for children up to ten years of age. The Learning Experience is not just a daycare facility but also a complete child development center with a dynamic and fun environment that is committed to quality care and education of your child.
Our parents have confidence each day that their child is being taken care of in a loving and respectful environment. We extend the offer to all families to come visit us and see why The Learning Experience is the perfect home away from home. We know that choosing care for your little one(s) is an important decision and greatly affects the life of your child and your family. We pride ourselves on our warm and loving teachers, phenomenal curriculums and the simple extras that make bringing your child to day care an easy and stress free event.
Our unique programs are based upon years of research and early childhood education experience and that is why we pride ourselves on offering both excellent academic programming as well as a variety of enrichment programs all free of charge to our children. Our school is divided into classrooms based on age and development beginning with our state-of-the-art infant rooms. From there, children advance into the Toddlers, Twaddlers, Preppers, Preschool and Pre-K programs.
The Learning Experience is extremely proud of our proprietary curriculum, The Learning Experience Academic Program (L.E.A.P). At TLE we realize that how children learn is as important as what they learn and encourage each child to achieve success acquiring invaluable cognitive and social skills. L.E.A.P. is broken into three separate stages based on age and development beginning with Little Learners and progressing through L.E.A.P. 1 and L.E.A.P. 2. Our unparalleled Fun with Phonics program is our early reading program that helps 90% of our preschoolers that completed the preschool program with us at TLE reading by the time they go to Kindergarten!
All children participate in one or more of our enrichment programs provided by Charlie Choo Choo Enrichment Programs, whose certified instructors come directly to the children’s classrooms. Programs including Music 4 Me, Dancing Feet, Suddenly Science, Marvelous Math, Start to Art and Movin’ & Grovin’ further develop each child’s imagination, socialization skills, mind and body. The programs rotate every twelve weeks and the program(s) each class receives is determined upon age appropriateness. In addition, we believe what is good for one child is good for all and that is why we never charge our parents for enrichment programs.
We work closely with employers in the area to encourage participation in our Work and Family Program through which employee discounts are available. Don’t hesitate to ask us if your employer is a W&F partner!
We also pride ourselves in the cleanliness of our center. Not only do we provide the cleanest, most well equipped facilities we also utilize ActivePure technology to ensure the air our children breathe is clean and safe! ActivePure was developed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and kills germs on surfaces across the room and gets rid of odors!

The Learning Experience believes that how children learn is as important as what they learn; therefore, we have created an innovative and exciting preschool curriculum.
We call our proprietary curriculum
L.E.A.P. (The Learning Experience Academic Program).
L.E.A.P. encourages each child to achieve success independently while developing intellectually, socially, and physically.
Our preschool program is broken up into three completely separate classes according to chronological age and developmental stage. Conceived and written by our own Curriculum Department at The Learning Experience Corporate Headquarters, L.E.A.P. provides our preschool teachers with a comprehensive monthly curriculum.
Children in this age group are involved in hands-on activities that encourage them to explore and solve problems at their own rate of development.
Children in the Little Learners group receive their personal age-appropriate L.E.A.P. book each month. The book contains a wide variety of activities that involve problems in logic, math, reading, phonics and writing skills. Each month has a different theme. Little Learners start in the Infants room and continuing through the Preppers room.
My Little L.E.A.P. Book is designed just for Preppers acquainted with the habit of sitting and completing a workbook. Each page consists of a different concept: colors, shapes, numbers, sequencing, and letter awareness (one page a week).
L.E.A.P. I is designed for children in our Preschool 1 age group. It is a step up from My Little L.E.A.P. Book; it consists of one workbook page per day. L.E.A.P. I includes writing readiness, numbers, counting, phonics, shapes and colors.
L.E.A.P. II is designed for children in our Preschool 2 age group. It is a step up from L.E.A.P. I; it consists of two workbook pages per day. L.E.A.P. II includes numbers, colors, shapes, counting, number writing, sequencing, spatial concepts, measurement and other math concepts.
At the end of each week there is a weekly observation checklist, where each child is evaluated on that week’s work. The L.E.A.P. books are sent home monthly with each child when completed.
Each month children receive a new L.E.A.P. book with a bright, colorful theme based on the seasons and holidays. Inside they learn about shapes, colors, numbers and letters. L.E.A.P. books are designed to help parents understand the concepts their child is learning each month.
At the end of each week the teacher evaluates the child’s work using the Observation Checklist. The books are also a wonderful learning tool for parents who can revisit the concepts with their children at home after the month is complete.
