Author: Janet Reiprish Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/8/2023, 5:43:36 PM Review: Recently, my friends and I were looking for a daycare that would accept infants as young as six weeks old in the Jacksonville area. And upon arriving at The Learning Experience we were initially impressed by the safety protocols in place. Then Madison, the Assistant Director, spent time showing & explaining the age-appropriate classrooms & we were able to meet & speak with several teachers. We had our questions answered & after discussing the value of TLE protocols,, my friends were impressed with all aspects of the facility, filled out the necessary paperwork & are now just waiting for an opening! Thank you Madison & Ainsley for your warm welcome! The family looks forward to having this opportunity in the near future to become more like family!

Thank you TLE for helping me mold my son & giving him a safe environment we are forever family ! Thank you to Mrs.Maddie for keeping me up to date with everything he needs & his teachers as well ----- Author: Candace Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/31/2024, 9:28:38 PM Review: We have been here for 10 years, and 2 kids. This center has helped raise our kids, and been an extension of our family. We have seen this center grow and change, all for the good. There are tenured, professional teachers and staff, that have been accommodating and supportive. We have appreciated the activities, communications, staff and curriculum throughout the years as it has prepared both our kids for elementary school and in life. The leadership and respect is apparent amongst the staff at TLE Southside. We had the best experience here in the most critical and crucial years of our kids life, and highly recommend this center. You want a partner when you are a working parent, when it comes to knowing your child is safe, healthy, and learning. This is your place. ----- Author: lama musa Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/1/2022, 5:22:04 PM Review: When we moved to the area our daughter was 18 months and we were looking for a daycare my husband and I felt comfortable and safe with. We visited TLE and right away the staff were so welcoming and friendly. When we found out we were expecting one thing we didn’t have to worry about was where we would send our baby. Now our daughter is 4 and has so many friends that have grown with her the past couple of years and the staff truly treats both of our kids like family and we couldn’t ask for anything better. I would highly recommend TLE Southside location over any other daycares. ----- Author: Sonia Thompson Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/28/2021, 6:10:00 PM Review: Returning back to the work world was scary for me after being out on maternity leave for over a year due to covid. The thought of leaving my 1-year-old at a school with strangers was even more terrifying than I'd imagined. But this school made my anxiety drop 100 notches with their cleanliness, professionalism and quick response time. The pictures I receive during the day make my heart warm and help me get through a rough workday without him. My son’s teacher, Ms. Dee is the bomb! I feel like my son is safe, loved and well cared for by someone other than his parents. The people who work at the front are always friendly and cheerful in the morning when they greet us at the door. The kitchen cook must be amazing considering my kid is an extremely picky eater and he is eating their food. He just had his 2nd birthday at school and although I couldn't be present due to covid, I know he was loved. The pictures I received were amazing. My son had friends to celebrate his day with at school and it just warmed my heart to see how happy he was to be around other people his age. My son has excelled in learning and I can't wait to see what new things he knows by the end of the year. He gets excited about going to school in the morning which makes the whole process even easier. Thank you TLE Southside for being such an amazing place!

I love that there is a curriculum established for the kids to learn from. I would highly recommend this day care to any parent. ----- Author: Neci Mcmorris Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/9/2023, 9:23:35 PM Review: My daughter has been coming here since she was 1 years old and she is now 5 and headed to kindergarten. The amount of love and care the entire staff has shown my baby from day one is incredible and will be missed. They are focused on creating an environment that keeps kids engaged and makes them want to learn, which is hard to do with such an advanced curriculum. I wish she could stay there with her friends and her favorite teacher Ms. D forever! ----- Author: ALYSSA Scheeser Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/16/2022, 5:57:35 PM Review: My daughter goes here and she loves it. Great staff and learning curriculum. ----- Author: Natalie J Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/15/2022, 9:48:04 PM Review: My family recently moved to the area, and the whole staff couldn't have been more welcoming. We were immediately impressed with the curriculum, and dedication to the students. My child is in Preppers with Ms. Barbra and Ms. Carmen and they do an amazing job of keep me informed about my child throughout the day. All the classrooms look great and welcoming. Highly recommend.

The Learning Experience is a great school for my kids. The teachers and administration are friendly and they all know every child's name from every class. They always have fun themes and events for the children to participate in. Would recommend The Learning Experience to every parent.
By far, one of the best daycare’s my kid has gone to unfortunately we have to drop him due to not being able to pick him up early. my 2 1/2 year-old currently gone to a different daycare. We’ll see how it goes on the other daycare things don’t go good. He might come back to the learning experience
I cannot rave enough about this place!! Our sons first time in any type of day care and it is fantastic!! From the staff to his teach Ms. Quiana are beyond amazing. Her patience with our son and his transition into daycare has been nothing but short of amazing!!
I highly recommend this facility my child has been attending this facility for 6 months I was quickly able to build a relationship with my child's teachers lyanne & Marlah I could not be happier with the quality care in my child's room the school is always clean they have so much great art planned. Ms Stephanie made enrolling my baby easy and quick and ms Madison has been able to speak with us and guide us through all of the new processes this is overall hands down the very best school in our area you will nit regret it.

Our whole family absolutely loves The Learning Experience Ms Annsley (spelling üßêü•¥) and each and every staff member. They truly do all the small things, makes our lil boy feel loved and special while at the same time not letting him do whatever he wants. Thank you so much for all that yall do, looking forward to another year here!
My 3 year old has such bad separation anxiety and I knew the decision to start sending her to school would rock her world. Unfortunately we didn’t have much of a choice due to my new job. We toured a million schools and felt uneasy at every single one UNTIL we walked into The Learning Experience on Southside! My daughter was immediately welcomed by the sweet office staff, I had the most amazing tour learning all about there safety and security measures, there absolutely incredible and one of a kind curriculum, the healthy meals they provide and the incredible caring and educated team of teachers that my daughter gets the pleasure of being with every single day. The team at this daycare has wrapped their arms around my daughter and myself and made us feel like family. I would recommend this school to any and everyone! There is nothing better!!
