From infancy to preschool, The Learning Experience in Beavercreek makes early education and daycare joyful, engaging, and fun so children are happy to learn, play, and grow.

Curriculum that develops the whole child

Their L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) Curriculum uses fun, hands-on activities throughout early education to help children develop intellectually, socially, and cognitively. Or as they say—to learn, play and grow.

Characters that bring learning to life

Children love learning from characters—and studies show that it’s highly effective especially in preschool and early education. TLE® has a cast of unique, beloved characters, each one teaching children a new value or activity. Watch their Bubbles and Friends Theme Song to see for yourself!

St. Helen will hold an annual Open House at the end of February and welcome new family enrollment in March.
