About The Learning Experience
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 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.
