Center Hosted Activities & Events



These are just a few examples of center hosted activities and events that take place throughout the year.



Fun Fridays





Every Friday a special theme or activity takes place. The children and staff are encouraged to participate. Activity calendars are sent out each month.


Some examples include Silly Sock Day, Crazy Hair Day, and Polar Express Day.



Community Helper Visits





During community helpers' month, we invite local first responders and other community helpers to visit the center and teach the children about safety and the importance of their jobs.


Some visits include the local fire department and police.



Popsicle Days





During the summer, we serve popsicles as a special snack once a week.


All ages can participate with parent/guardian permission.



Seasonal Festivals





In the fall or winter, TLE hosts a fall festival or jolly jamboree where center families and other vendors can set up and the children can participate in various games and activities.


These events are often fundraisers for the center.



Pre-Kindergarten Field Trips & Graduation





Each year, the Pre-K children take a Fall and Summer field trip to a pumpkin patch and animal farm. Parent/guardian chaperones are required.


Pre-kindergarten graduation takes place each summer. This gives our Pre-K graduates the opportunity to show off all everything they've learned throughout the year. Each child receives a diploma and certificates.



St. Jude Trike-a-Thon





Each summer, TLE hosts a trike-a-thon fundraiser benefitting St. Jude Children's Hospital. Children aged 3 years and older learn about helping others and giving back.


Children bring their bikes/riding toys to school and earn rewards based on how much they raise.



We've had 2 children at The Learning Express since January and can't say enough good things about the director, assistant director, and staff. They know every child and truly care about them as if they were their own. They are very communicative about each child's progress and needs. My kids loved all their teachers and enjoyed all the friends they made.
