The Learning Experience at Hillsborough
Preschool in Hillsborough, NJ 08844
Welcome to The Learning Experience Child Development Center (TLE) at Hillsborough, a premiere childcare provider with over 25 years of management experience! We provide outstanding childcare for Hillsborough and the surrounding area and we are conveniently located on Auten Rd in Hillsborough, just a short distance from the Route 206 circle. Our center is open Monday through Friday 6:30am-6:30pm with programs for Infants age 6 weeks to Kindergarten age 6, with additional programs for children up to age 8. We offer three, four and five day programs with various hours to suit parent’s schedules. We also work closely with corporations in the area to encourage participation in our Work and Family Program where employee discounts are available.
Here at TLE we pride ourselves on the curriculum that the children follow provided to us by National Academy for Educators and Caregivers. Our curriculum is fun yet teaches all the basics that your child will need to enter elementary school! We even incorporate sign language* in our classroom curriculum! It’s great to see our little ones signing that they want “more” of something! We also have a technology program where the children are participating in interactive learning with computers.
Our highly qualified staff is chosen for their special love of children. All of our teachers are certified and maintain current CPR and First Aid certifications. The onsite management team is always here to make sure you are comfortable and secure in leaving your child with us. Security is the name of the game at TLE, from key fobs allowing in only those registered to the camera system that even covers the playground! You can rest assured that your child will be safe and well cared for during the day with us.
Preparing your child not only for school but for life is our goal. The Learning Experience Academic Program (LEAP) is one of the best teaching tools around! Espaol Para Nios Pequeos (Spanish for small children) is also taught here! According to researchers, the benefits of learning multiple languages at an early age are enormously beneficial and provide invaluable advantages. We also offer Fun with Phonics, American Sign Language, and technology to children, at no additional cost! Our wonderful Make Believe Boulevard (a miniature Main Street USA) is a great way for children to visit the firehouse, the grocery store or the diner each day. The enrichment programs of Charlie Choo Choo include Start to Art, Marvelous Math, Talent Sprouts, Dancing Feet, Suddenly Science, Music 4 me, and Movin’ n Grovin’. The Learning Experience never charges extra for enrichment programs so all of these programs are INCLUDED in your child’s tuition!
The Learning Experience strives on a daily basis to be THE BEST CHILD CARE center that you have ever been to. Please stop in to take a tour of our amazing facility! We think you will be pleasantly surprised. We invite you to join our TLE family here in Hillsborough!

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.
