The Learning Experience Opens in Colorado Springs
Local husband and wife brings nationally-recognized childcare, enrichment programs, and early education to toddlers and preschoolers
The Learning Experience, one of the country’s fastest-growing educational childcare franchises, today announced the opening of its newest Academy of Early Education center at 4020 Lee Vance Drive in Colorado Springs.
The center provides childcare, enrichment programs, and early childhood education for children from six weeks to six years of age. The Learning Experience's all-inclusive programs and well-rounded curriculum include phonics, mathematics, science, physical fitness, music, foreign languages, and a philanthropy program that teaches children the value of kindness and helping others in the classroom, at home, and in their communities.
The independent franchise location in Colorado Springs is owned by local husband and wife Rashid and Shazia Khan. The first-time franchise owners will employ over 30 certified preschool teachers and staff to serve upwards of 180 children in the community.
“The Learning Experience provides the perfect balance of owning your own small business, along with the support of a nationally-recognized franchise brand with a proven track record of success,” said owner Shazia Khan. “My husband and I are thrilled to provide exceptional childcare and a well-rounded curriculum to help children learn, thrive and make a positive difference in our community.”
The Learning Experience’s proprietary Learning Experience Academic Program (L.E.A.P.®) curriculum and enrichment programs were developed through more than 30 years of experience in early childhood education. Its early literacy programs have 9 out of 10 children reading before Kindergarten, and the unique philanthropy curriculum was created in partnership with Make-A-Wish®.
The center in Colorado Springs marks the franchise’s first location in the Colorado Springs metropolitan area. The Learning Experience is ranked no. 62 on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2020 Franchise 500 and has over 250 centers across the country serving more than 27,000 children with childcare, enrichment programs, and early childhood education. The educational childcare franchise also has over 200 locations currently in development in select markets nationwide.
