Author: Heather Morrison Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/30/2024, 1:55:50 PM Review: We have two children that have been going to this learning experience location and have had an amazing experience. The owner is organized, kind, and most importantly involved. She greets you every morning and is there when you pick your children up. The directors are very experienced and also kind and caring about all of the children. We have had a great experience with all teachers and our children have had great relationships with their teachers in each classroom. I know my kids are safe, happy, and loved when I drop them off. ----- Author: Ferrin Schooler Rating: 5/5 Date: 12/15/2022, 3:52:43 PM Review: TLE- St. John’s is an absolute treasure. My two daughters have been going there for a little over two years now. The owner, Mrs. Olive is dedicated, caring, thoughtful, and communicative. The director, Mrs. Martha Jane (MJ) is phenomenal. She greets each child every single morning by their names and waves to them goodbye every afternoon. The co-director, Ms. Emily is as sweet as they come. I wish I could name and mention every single teacher there because they’re all incredible. Besides the staff being top notch, the facility itself is clean, organized, and state of the art safe! Safety & Cleanliness has always been important to me(esp w my profession as a nurse) TLE exceeds all expectations. I live in Nocatee where there is several daycares and will never know I take my children out from this center! I drive 20 minutes one way every single day and would do it for the rest of my life if that meant knowing my children were safe, being cared for by compassionate teachers, and learning an abundance of wealth and knowledge. I truly cannot say enough good things about the Learning, Experience, St., Johns.!!! We are blessed to have them apart of our family!

We arrived after the peak of the pandemic; they have taken every step to ensure my child is safe. I applaud all the teachers and staff for helping my child with the new normal and adapting so well. I received so many updates and pictures of what my child was doing throughout the day from the app. Also, staff responded quickly on all needs through the chat functionality. There is also clear communication of anything I need to know throughout the day. In addition, pick up and drop off are very efficient and consistent. I also would like to point out the VPK graduation celebration was very heartfelt and memorable. Lastly, the center was always clean, inside and out. So, thank you TLE at St. Johns! We miss you so very much and you are the very best! ----- Author: Hailey Morton Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/5/2021, 6:42:42 PM Review: We are so grateful that we found The Learning Experience - St. Johns!

Author: J Tank Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/24/2025, 6:55:51 PM Review: We are absolutely thrilled with our experience at TLE- St John’s! From the moment we enrolled our daughter, it has felt like a second home. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring and dedicated, and always going above and beyond to create a nurturing and engaging environment. Our daughter just LOVES Ms. Ashley and Ms. Aryn! One of the standout features we love is the app they use to share pictures and updates throughout the day. Seeing those snapshots of our daughter engaged in activities and playing with her friends brings us joy and makes us feel connected to her daily experiences. It also serves as a great tool to use with our daughter when discussing her day! Additionally, the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to promote not only academic growth but also social and emotional development. Our daughter has blossomed in her time here, and we have seen her confidence and skills grow leaps and bounds. She has learned so much and is now well-prepared for kindergarten, which brings us such peace of mind! We couldn’t be happier with our choice to send our daughter to TLE at St John’s for VPK! Highly recommend! ----- Author: Seraine P. Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/31/2022, 6:39:15 PM Review: We LOVE this school. My son was enrolled for all of pre-K and also stayed for the summer program before heading off to kindergarten. The administration team (Olive, MJ and Emily) always welcome students and parents with enthusiasm each day. The curriculum for pre-K students is terrific; they mix both technology, book work, and hands-on activities to engage little learners. Each month, my son brought home two workbooks so I could see what he was working on and where he needed a little more guidance. I also loved getting the pictures of his activities throughout the day to see how he was doing and ask him about his day later. School concepts for pre-k also cover topics like philanthropy and giving, which is a wonderful opportunity to start that thinking and those conversations at a young age. Our son loved Mrs. Mariela’s class. I’m thankful he ended up here for pre-K and enjoyed learning in such a well-structured class. Because of his experience, he’s more than ready for kindergarten! ----- Author: Hailey Morton Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/5/2021, 6:42:42 PM Review: We are so grateful that we found The Learning Experience - St. Johns!

My daughter has been attending this daycare for the past two years, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She absolutely loves the place and has developed a wonderful bond with the teachers. The staff is incredibly caring, nurturing, and attentive, creating a warm and safe environment for the children. We’ve seen so much growth in her, both socially and academically, and we truly appreciate the dedication of the teachers. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving and supportive place for their child!
My wife and I love TLE! We were initially hesitant about daycare but very quickly became comfortable dropping off our little guy because of the friendly and warm atmosphere. We are yet to see an unhappy kid at TLE!
After a month of our little one being here, figured it’s time for a review. We love the staff at this location and the energy level shown. It takes a lot to work with children and we have noticed the staff at this location do this very well. From the greeting every time we enter by Mrs. Olive to the hands on approach by the director Mrs. Emily and the daily feedback from our daughter’s teacher Mrs. K. All around we are very satisfied. Thank you.
Our son has been going to The Learning Experience here for a year now and we couldn't be happier! The facility is clean and welcoming. The teachers and staff truly care about the safety and happiness of the kids, and about their education. We are planning on having our 2nd kiddo join there soon!
I could go on for paragraphs about how great TLE Saint Johns is - so I will. They have an incredible staff from top to bottom and, in my humble opinion, are the best child development center in the area, and we toured them all. We were previously at TLE Mandarin, but changed to the Saint Johns location after moving - having such a great experience at the Mandarin TLE, we were hesitant to change locations. That said, it was immediately clear to us that the administrative staff were very competent. They helped guide us through the transition, alleviating our concerns, and were incredibly welcoming, especially Miss Olive, Miss MJ, and Miss Emily. We felt confident leaving our son in their obviously capable hands. In the year plus since we started at TLE Saint Johns, our son has taken remarkable strides, and we are constantly impressed by the curiosity he comes home with. The class teachers, such as Miss Elizabeth, Miss Erin, and most recently Miss Anissa, are not only top notch teachers, but also compassionate, empathetic, and loving. Making the initial decision to leave a child with strangers is incredibly difficult. Trust me when I say that your little ones are in great hands. In no time at all, TLE Saint Johns will feel like part of the family.
The staff and teachers are always available and eager to help. We are so impressed with how much our girls are learning and love how involved all of the teachers are with their care. The new app is very user friendly and provides great updates/pictures throughout the day.

We absolutely LOVE The Learning Experience - St. John’s! We are moving and it’s a bit too far to drive every day and we are SO SAD to leave this group. Starting daycare as first time parents is a very scary time, but Ms. Mary & Ms. Magly made us feel very comfortable and we knew our baby was in great hands. Ms. Olive and Ms. Emily are always there to answer your call & emails. Highly recommend!
I started bringing my child to The Learning Experience when the Pandemic started and them bring in my newborn. I had such an AMAZING experience with both of my kids. Mrs. Olive is always at the facility, ensuring everything is running perfectly. The schedule the photos before Christmas and Mother's Day so I was always ready for those cards. In 3 years, we didn't have any issues, the VPK was an incredible time for my son. The teachers are professionals, they show respect and professionalism while dealing with the kids and create the cutest activity for each season.
