The Learning Experience is the #1 leader in the daycare and early education industry—with over 430+ centers open and another 250+ under development. This is your opportunity to be part of an amazing brand dedicated to making a positive difference in children’s lives as they learn, play and grow with us.

Strategically chosen cities and locations
The TLE real estate model is completely unique in comparison to the industry. Our team researches high-growth areas around the country, sources the location, partners with developers to build, equip and set up the center, and then hands you the keys. There are hundreds of TLE centers under development still in need of the right franchisee to help create another TLE success story.

The high rate of franchisee success
The numbers don’t lie, franchisees are set up for success. That’s why we have 85/100 franchisee satisfaction rating (according to Franchise Business Review) year over year, and why 68% of our TLE centers are owned by multi-unit owners. TLE has also been ranked on Entrepreneur's Top 500 Franchises as the #1 childcare franchise, Franchise Business Review Top 200 as the #1 education franchise, Forbes' Best Franchises in America, Inc 5000's America's Fastest-Growing Companies, and Franchise Times Top 500 Top 10 fastest growers by sales percentage and unit percentage lists.

The security and stability of franchising
The early childhood education and daycare industry has grown exponentially over the past decade. This is due to research confirming the strong and long-lasting benefits of early childhood education, a shifting workforce in which both parents work, and the booming population growth. That’s why over the next five years, the childcare industry is forecast to increase revenue at a compound annual growth rate of 5.0% — and why being a TLE® franchise owner is a smart move, especially with a company that’s demonstrated lasting growth and success.
