TLE is a privately held company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. TLE focuses on early childhood development for children aging from 6 weeks to 6 six years old, and after school care for children up to 9 years old. TLE currently has 120 operating facilities and 60 facilities under development in 22 states. This facility will be the fifth in Colorado. Please visit TLE at their website: www.thelearningexperience.com The development of Pad E in Lot 3 includes constructing a 10,000 SF building, a contiguous 5,000 SF playground, and fully landscaping the pad. TLE will be an outstanding addition to the Miramont Office Park, and the surrounding neighborhoods. The facility will allow enrollment up to 170 children and will have a staff of approximately 30. TLE provides the tools and environment that gives children every opportunity to develop to their greatest potential. TLE has a cutting edge proprietary curriculum; over 88% of TLE’s 4-year old children are reading. TLE builds a strong foundation for each child to grow emotionally, socially, and cognitively at his/her own pace.

Statement of Planning Objectives (D) (i) This project is an infill commercial development, which the City of Fort Collins supports. (ii) The Learning Experience will be taking the last pad in the already existing Miramont Office Park. We will have a 10,000 sf building with a contiguous 5,000 sf playground. The playground will be encompassed by an opaque fence that has landscaping surrounding the exterior. There is an onsite detention pond. (iii) The Miramont Office Park consists of five pads and five buildings. Each building has a separate owner. The owners are all a part of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for the Miramont Office Park dated October 11, 2000 reception # 2000070367 to govern and maintain the office park and common areas. Pad E will be owned by the Fort Collins Development Co, LLC which is controlled and Managed by John and Adam Rubenstein. Pad E will be a part of the CCR’s mentioned above. (iv) The Learning Experience will be licensed for roughly 170 children. The Learning Experience will employ an estimated 30-35 employees. (v) The Learning Experience chose the Miramont Office Park for its Ft. Collins home because of its location off of Harmony Rd and Boardwalk. It is next to several businesses and located in an established, yet growing community. The Learning Experience building has been designed to match the rest of the office park. We will have a 5,000 sf playground, with an opaque fence. We are using an opaque fence for security reasons. We will have landscaping surrounding the fence to help camouflage the fence. (vi) Child Care is a permitted use under the current zoning restrictions. (vii) We are the fifth and last piece to an already existing office park. The City supports infill projects.
