The Learning Experience

The Learning Experience in Wilmington is a branch of the national preschool and daycare chain, serving children from six weeks to six years with programs for infants, toddlers, older toddlers called Twaddlers, early preschoolers called Preppers, preschoolers and kindergarteners. Its proprietary L.E.A.P. curriculum, short for Learning Experience Academic Program, uses hands-on activities and animated characters to help children learn, play and grow intellectually, socially and cognitively.

Each age group has its own focus. Infant rooms emphasize nurturing care, personalized routines and sensory play, while toddler classes encourage language growth, sign language, manners and early independence, with potty training support continuing into the Twaddler and Prepper years. Preschool builds pre-reading and pre-math skills along with STEAM and foreign language exposure, and the full-day private kindergarten offers an advanced curriculum in reading, math and science taught by certified, elementary-trained teachers.
