Our young artists had a blast exploring colors, textures, and self-expression through hand painting. There were plenty of smiles, a little mess, and lots of beautiful masterpieces created along the way!

Meet Our Preschool 2 Team!

We’re celebrating Ms. Kat & Mr. Gabriel! 💙

Ms. Kat has been part of the TLE River Vale family for almost 3 years, bringing such a calm, caring energy to her classroom. She creates a nurturing environment where her little learners feel supported, confident, and ready to learn—always delivering an A+ experience!

Mr. Gabriel may be a newer addition to our TLE family, but he has already made such a wonderful impact! He brings the perfect balance to the classroom with his energy, enthusiasm, and genuine excitement for everything he does.

Together, Ms. Kat & Mr. Gabriel make Preschool 2 a fun, loving, and engaging place for our little learners to grow!

Big feelings are part of growing up! 💛😊

This October, our little learners here at The Learning Experience are diving into My Emotions and Feelings, a curriculum theme designed to help children better understand what they’re feeling, express themselves, and build the social-emotional skills they’ll use every day. 🌈💬

With Miss Chievous by their side, children will explore the many emotions they experience and discover simple ways to navigate big feelings. ✨

Learning how to understand our feelings is an important part of learning how to care for ourselves, connect with others, and grow with confidence. 💕 We can't wait to see what this month of exploration and discovery brings! 🌱

Let’s give a HUGE congratulations to Ms. Melissa, our September Teacher of the Month! 🎉👏

From the very first day the doors of TLE River Vale opened, Ms. Melissa has shown up every single day ready to give 100% to our little learners.

She pours her heart into helping each child grow, learn, build confidence, and reach their milestones—always with patience, purpose, and, most importantly, LOVE. Her commitment to her classroom and to the children she teaches is something truly special.

Ms. Melissa, thank you for giving your all every day and for being such an incredible example of what it means to teach with your whole heart. TLE River Vale is so lucky to have you!

This month, Ms. Vanessa passed the Happy Stick along to Ms. Breana!👏

When you work side-by-side with someone every day, in the close quarters of a classroom, you truly get to know your co-teacher on a whole different level. You see the hard work, the patience, the little moments, and all the ways they show up for their children and their team.

Ms. Vanessa wanted to take a moment to recognize Ms. Breana for all that she brings to their classroom and for being such a wonderful partner each day.

These are the moments we truly cherish here at TLE River Vale—when our team takes the time to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate one another!

Congratulations, Ms. Breana! We’re so happy to see the Happy Stick in your hands! 💛

Say hello to the dynamic duo behind our Prepper classrooms—Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Breana! 👏

Ms. Vanessa has been a beloved part of our TLE River Vale family for over 10 years and quickly found her special niche in the Prepper classroom. Truly loved by children, families, and staff, Ms. Vanessa brings her bright, positive energy into the classroom every single day. Her passion for our little learners shines through in everything she does!

Two years ago, Ms. Breana joined Ms. Vanessa in Preppers, and together, they have created an incredible partnership. Their personalities and strengths complement each other so well, creating the perfect balance in the classroom. They support one another, work as a team, and bring so much love and energy to our little learners each day.
