CHILDREN & FAMILIES INVITED TO "NEIGHBORHOOD TRUNK-OR-TREAT" AT THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN NORTH BERGEN

The Learning Experience® (TLE®), one of the nation’s fastest growing Academies of Early Education for children six weeks to five years old, in North Bergen is celebrating its grand opening by hosting a safe Halloween-themed “Neighborhood Trunk-or-Treat” event on Saturday, October 31, 2015, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 7108 Kennedy Boulevard.

At this free event open to the community, children will be saying “trunk or treat” instead of “trick or treat” as they participate in a fun alternative to the traditional door-to-door version of Halloween. Turning the backs of more than a dozen cars, minivans, and sport utility vehicles into the new front porch, trunk-or-treating brings Halloween to the safety of TLE®’s parking lot, where children and parents can go from vehicle to vehicle to view decorated trunks, admire costumes and collect tasty treats.

The event will also feature a grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony, contest prizes for best decorated trunk and best costume for children six weeks to five years old, and Bubbles the Elephant® (TLE® mascot). Children and their parents will be able to interact with first responders from the Fire Department as well as “Touch-a-Truck”, a hands-on opportunity to explore a fire trucks and meet the people who protect and serve the community. Local community partner Dunkin’ Donuts will be participating in the event as well.

“Communities are often bound together by the common goal to protect and educate the next generation. This is what inspired us to open our doors and connect all in the neighborhood through a fun, interactive event,” said Bina Zalawadia, Owner and Business Manager of TLE® North Bergen.

TLE® places a prominent focus on programs that advance scholastic and social preparation, including its one-of-a-kind L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) curriculum and enrichment programs, which have been developed from more than 30 years of experience in the early education industry.
