We recently became first time parents and our 5 month old is thriving thanks to her amazing teachers! Tiffany and April in the infant classroom are spectacular! Both of them have eased our minds with this being our first time with daycare for our daughter! Our daughter absolutely loves seeing her teachers everyday and is never upset when we drop her off in the morning! The communication is amazing when it comes to more supplies or changing something in our daughter’s schedule! We can’t thank Tiffany and April enough for loving our girl as if she were their own!

The staff here is fantastic! Going above and beyond to ensure that our children are safe, comfortable and happy! My child is always excited to go to school and it’s such a relief as a parent knowing my child is in a safe loving environment when he’s not in my care. I would definitely recommend. ----- Author: Rosie Rice Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/12/2022, 9:21:42 PM Review: This Childcare facility is more than just a daycare it’s more of a home environment. I’ve been taking my child there for almost 2 years and things has definitely changed from the beginning till now. This is a clean and safe place. The staff is amazing and on top of everything. They keep you updated throughout the day with information about my child from what he ate to pictures of what he is doing. Hands down one of the best. ----- Author: Laura Thompson Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/1/2022, 9:54:12 PM Review: Exceptional management and staff at TLE Oakleaf: Natalie Jimenez is our 4 year old son’s preschool teacher and one of the many talented child professionals at TLE Oakleaf. Natalie is a gifted teacher, leader, and role model for our kids and faculty alike. Her maturity and ability to remain calm in all situations is a reflection of over 20 years of her military service. Natalie is extremely professional, she inspires wonderful energy, and her love for teaching is felt as soon as you step in her classroom. Our son loves to come to TLE Oakleaf because of Natalie Jimenez. Additionally, over the past several months, the new Director Shanci Foster, and Assistance Director Kaylee Longmuir, have significantly improved the look and feel of the center, and all of the administration processes. Kaylee enthusiastically greets everyone that enters the lobby, she knows the name of every parent and child that attends TLE Oakleaf. Kaylee is super friendly, organized, and efficient. Kaylee handles all of our paperwork, enrollment documents, and most notably, she ensured a smooth and safe transition through the ups and downs of COVID protocols. Kaylee is also very good at multi-tasking, staying attentive to everyone that enters the lobby, and deescalating complex situations. Stephanie Smith is another extremely talented preschool teacher at TLE Oakleaf. Stephanie is one of the few original employees we met when we initially enrolled our son at TLE Oakleaf. Stephanie demonstrates a true passion for teaching and she is always smiling. Ultimately, Director Shanci Foster single handedly led TLE Oakleaf through significant staffing and management changes. We’ve witnessed the energy of the entire center shift in a positive direction under Shanci’s leadership. ----- Author: Faith Hershey Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/11/2022, 11:57:03 PM Review: The management team here is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and extremely loving environment and we’re very thankful to Miss Shanci and the whole team at TLE Oakleaf, the staff is very knowledgeable and welcoming, keep up the great work ladies! ----- Author: Lisa Gibbs Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/11/2022, 11:29:40 PM Review: If you want a place for your child (or grandchild for me) to go and not just feel, but know that they will be safe, look no further! The Learning Experience has been everything and more for my family. I have dropped off my grandson a few times and they have remembered me since the first time I brought him! So personal and caring for not just the little ones, but also every family that walks in. My grandson has learned so much since being there and has truly flourished! We love it here!

From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth, dedication, and passion of the staff. The progress we’ve seen in our children have been remarkable. Not only have their confidence grown, but their learning has flourished. Every day, they come home excited to share new words, songs, and skills they’ve learned. The structured yet loving environment fosters curiosity, creativity, and a genuine love for learning. The engaging curriculum, hands-on activities, and encouragement from the staff have truly made a difference. Beyond academics, the daycare instills kindness, teamwork, and independence, preparing children for the next stages of their development. We couldn’t be more grateful for the care, patience, and dedication that this team provides. If you’re looking for a daycare that feels like an extension of family and prioritizes both education and emotional growth, The Learning Experience -Oakleaf is the perfect choice! ----- Author: Maniya Bates Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/28/2025, 2:58:07 PM Review: This daycare is absolutely amazing !

They have state of the art EVERYTHING! From Advanced Stem Based Curriculum, Sign Language, Foreign Language, LEAP Interactive, Digital Technology, Philanthropy and more, it really is the definition of an Academy of Early Education. My child has advanced so much within this past year in VPK. I couldn’t thank her teachers enough, Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Lauryn, for having so much patience, kindness, and always going that extra mile for her! Their team is always so happy, warm, welcoming, and always smiling. Their management team is top notch, the best of the best!

As an educator and child mentor, I definitely could have asked for a better place. From the curriculum used to the staff, my child has been supported emotionally and educationally in a way that exceeds my expectations. The inside is very glossy and uniform. The staff are all kind and educationally focused. Anytime there's an issue, they're very personable, responsive and non judgemental in how they approach and problem solve with me. I really feel like we have our community here to bridge our "home to school learning gap" ----- Author: Nikki Ibell Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/2/2023, 6:48:18 PM Review: I have had nothing but a great experience since my son started at Oakleaf TLE! As a first time mom I had my hesitation’s with child care especially in our day and age. This is our second daycare as my trust and safety for my son was broken at his former daycare. Crying all day everyday for 4 months straight, not being properly supervised and continuously being injured by other children. Since starting at TLE he did/ does still fuss for a bit during drop off and pick up he is a mama’s boy with separation anxiety, however it is not all day long. He has an actual curriculum and schedule that was very important to me. His sign language and speech has improved so very much and he loves it! His teachers are kind and keep me updated on my son daily so I feel comfortable leaving him with his wonderful teachers. The environment is diverse and open. I’ve heard students speaking Spanish and using sign language to communicate. This preschool is top rate!! ----- Author: Terrilou Nix Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/17/2023, 3:16:35 PM Review: 5+++++ STARS all the way…….. Being a Mom of 4 TLE Oakleaf stands by its name THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE. I love that they have a unique curriculum to encourage my daughter daily with the different characters. She doesn’t seem to amuse me everyday with something new she learned that day. I feel so confident and comfortable with the staff the moment I drop her off to when she leaves for the day ESPECIALLY to her teachers I cannot thank them enough. My daughter speech was not good saying 1-2 words now having a whole conversation. What I also like about TLE I get updates throughout the day from the app. I don’t need to wait until she is picked up. Thank you TLE staff for all that you do. ----- Author: Alicia Burnham Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/22/2023, 3:54:54 PM Review: We are so grateful that we found The Learning Experience Jacksonville Oakleaf. When we toured the facility, as any mom, my nerves were everywhere trying to find the perfect center for my child who is going into VPK. She has never been in anyone else's care besides mine or family. We were welcomed with open arms and smiles from the center management, Ms. Shanci, Ms. Kaylee, and Ms. Selena. As we were touring, Ms. Kaylee was very informative about their VPK program and what all it had to offer. We also loved all the different options they had to choose from and how their curriculum uses fun, hands-on activities. My daughter instantly fell in love with the center and was counting all her friends (the characters). She is very excited to start school In August especially with Bubbles! ----- Author: Erika Fudge Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/17/2022, 12:32:01 PM Review: Let me start by saying there is a reason why there is such a long waitlist to get your child enrolled at TLE-Oakleaf. The staff and curriculum is amazing! The teachers and administration love, care, and teach your child as if they are theirs. The director has an open door policy to where you’re able to walk in and sit down and view the cameras at any point during the day if you feel the need to check in on your child. I personally have never had to do so after the first day of enrollment because I’m receiving picture updates of daily activities through their app. 100% recommend this facility from infancy to VPK!

Does this day care have monitoring cameras?

Yes

One review mentions the availability of cameras that parents can view, suggesting the presence of monitoring cameras.

Author: Kiara Reeves Rating: 1/5 Date: 4/15/2024, 5:48:31 PM Review: Please run! Management horrible; employees horrible. My child was assaulted and the owner claimed that they have to see if it’s a “pattern” before taking action. I called the police and TLE said they were putting my son’s enrollment on hold …. unless we stopped the investigation. I proceeded to speak with the district manager and they called the facility to alert the mother of the children who assaulted my child (and she worked there as well). Mind you, there were three instructors in the room and they have cameras but NO ONE SAW ANYTHING. There were multiple instances in which my child was singled out and the people working there are facetious if your child alerts you. Saying things like “oh we were just telling you because we didn’t want your son to run and tell you first”. Why would it be an issue if my son is telling me things are happening to him PHYSICALLY with NO REPORTS!!! Anyways, everyone is nice there until they’re not. My son now attends another school that he loves. Edit: They never reached out after the incident but now all of a sudden, I've received back to back calls from them. What is there to talk about now? it's been 2 months since my son has attended.

From the very first phone call, my experience with The Learning Center Oakleaf (TLC) was refreshingly positive and welcoming compared to other daycares I had explored. As a new mom, I was understandably anxious about finding the right place for my 18-month-old daughter, and I wanted to ensure she was in caring, capable hands. Mrs. Shanci and Miss Kaylee went above and beyond to answer all my questions and were extremely helpful during the initial process. Their willingness to assist made me feel comfortable and confident. While I was initially placed on a waitlist, I decided to try another daycare in the meantime. However, after only five days, I knew that it wasn’t the right fit. I didn’t feel like my daughter’s well-being was prioritized there, which made the decision to leave easy. In stark contrast, Miss Cat and Miss Jasmine at TLC have been nothing short of amazing. They are incredibly comforting, caring, and truly understand my daughter’s needs. Their empathy and kindness shine through as they always make sure she feels safe and loved, even during moments of distress. The moment I toured the facility, I had an overwhelming sense of reassurance that TLC was the right place for our family. The location is convenient, and the daycare itself is clean and well-maintained—much cleaner than other places I’ve seen, even those that are brand new. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend The Learning Center Oakleaf. It’s a place where children are treated with kindness and respect, and I feel confident that my daughter is in great hands.

My experience with TLE so far has been amazing. My child has literally never been happier and once she gets dropped off I can relax knowing she’s in good hands. Special shoutout to Miss Kaylee who’s always ready for my 100 questions, always with a smile on her face. My baby and I appreciate you all very much!

I truly cannot express enough how thankful I am for the team at The Learning Experience in Oakleaf. My son is truly my world, I am very protective over him. When I was given a job opportunity I could not pass up for my family I was VERY hesitant on my son being in childcare. I enrolled him in another daycare which he was taken out of within months due to his safety and not trusting the staff. I was very nervous about placing him in another daycare and him not being taken care of up to my standards. But I will say after our tour I was overwhelmed with relief, I finally felt like he was going to be in the hands where I knew I would have nothing to worry about. Where I could go to work and actually breath not worrying every second if he was okay. He has been in daycare at this location for about 8 months now. I truly don't even look at the staff as workers. These people are a second family to my son. My husband is deployed in Italy & honestly without them I don't know how I would be getting through these six months. This facility deserves a 5 star score if not higher. The staff including the director all the way to my sons daycare teachers are incredible human beings. I have honestly never walked into that building and felt it being a negative environment. You can tell they LOVE what they do and they adore our children. Thank you for caring for my son when I have needed the help. I will never be able to thank you enough!

There are not enough positive things to say about our experience with The Learning Experience at Oakleaf! They have made our first experience with VPK so easy and enjoyable. From the moment you walk in the front door, you are greeted by the friendliest and most accommodating staff and teachers. Ms. Natalie has been the best teacher for our girl. She has grown so much academically and in maturity thanks to Ms. Natalie’s tireless and gracious efforts. I cannot recommend this school enough! Our two other children will most certainly be going to TLE in the future!!

Ever since moving to Jacksonville I’ve always wanted my daughter to go to this school. She has been attending for almost a year now and she’s has been loving it! She used to come home repeating Spanish words she learned at school, now all talks she about her teacher Ms. S! She loves her friends, and the fun things she gets to do while learning. I’ve grown to love the learning through play approach and how much she has learned and grown since being at this school. She has all the resources and tools to learn and thrive We plan on being with the TLE until they kick her out! 😜
