The Learning Experience's "Dream Big Festival"

Grand opening of the learning experience® in BAYSIDE encourages Children to dress up AS "dream" job & meet firemen, nurses, & more

Queens, NY (August 11, 2015) The Learning Experience® (TLE®), one of the nation’s fastest growing academies of early education for children six weeks to five years old, in Bayside (Queens, NY) is inviting kids, and kids at heart (parents), to its “Dream Big Festival”-themed Grand Opening event on Saturday, August 15th, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 215-15 Northern Boulevard in Queens.

Open and free to the community, children are encouraged to come to the event dressed up as what they want to be when they grow up and have the opportunity to meet ‘real life’ examples of their dream jobs, including nurses, firemen, and more! Additionally, parents (kids at heart!) are encouraged to dress up as well! Children can let their imaginations run wild in TLE®’s own Make Believe Boulevard®, a miniature Main Street, USA, designed specifically to develop and expand socio-dramatic play amongst children. Additionally, the festival will feature arts & crafts, a bounce house, food, games, and opportunities for families to save on tuition.

“We all want the same things for our children - to grow up to follow their dreams and find success,” said Tiehise Shell, Center Director of TLE® Bayside. “By sharing with children career paths possibly not seen at home or with family, we hope that this community event can serve as an experience that helps shape who they will become as adults.”
