Jacksonville Southside Preschool & Daycare Jacksonville, FL

I want to thank Ms. Andreia and Ms. Yohandra, Rafael’s teachers, for all the love, patience, and dedication they show every day. Rafael has grown so much — socially, emotionally, and academically — and he always feels safe, happy, and excited to go to school. As a mother, that peace of mind is priceless. Thank you for caring, teaching, and supporting him with so much heart. We are truly grateful for everything you do! — Maria Caroline Maia & Family

I am so incredibly happy with the care my son receives at The Learning Experience. I truly appreciate Ms. Andrea and Ms. Zara for taking the extra time to help my son learn and grow. their warmth, patience, and genuine care, to help him feel safe, understood, and happy every single day. Thank you for everything you do and for taking that extra mile.

The learning experience at the southside Jacksonville location is by far the best daycare Ive had the pleasure to encounter with since moving here. I had no support with two special needs children and both Stephanie and Madison were supportive and educated me on the need to know about TLE and how they welcome children of all kind no matter their disability. Thanks for making one feel like family at TLE and taking care of our future leaders.

Our little one, Kensleigh, started attending TLE (Southside) 1 month ago. We (her family) immediately started to notice positive changes in her communication skills. She is happy to go to school each day. Her teachers (Ms. Jasmine and Ms. Norma) are so attentive to Kensleigh's social, emotional and physical needs. Without fail, Jasmine gives her a warm morning greeting each day. It is also notable that Kensleigh blows Norma a goodbye kiss at the end of each day. That tells me that Kensleigh feels love from her and trust her. We have been concerned about Kensleigh adjusting to the point where she is consistently able to be dropped off without trauma. Well, this morning, Jasmine instructed Kensleigh to wave and say goodbye to me with a smile! I felt SO much better about leaving her today. I can go on and on about how TLE's staff has made out little one's daycare and learning experience so much better. Especially in the area of a structured daily routine. However, it would be quite a long narrative because everyone from the front office staff to the in-classroom instructors have made this transition from 1 daycare to another a much more pleasant experience than what we could have ever expected. Thank you all (Annsley, Madison, Patricia, Jasmine, and Norma) for the dedication you have to developing Kensleigh and all of the children!

I really appreciate the teachers. They are very sweat with my child and they always make nice activities throughout the year. So far I really like them.

Thank you for making our little boy feel at home. Your tenderness and compassion are making a difference in his behavior. The teacher is phenomenal!! The staff are friendly. It's people like you that make a difference in this world. Thank God for you guys!

My daughter loves her school and friends, blessed to have such an amazing place for her 😁

My granddaughter had her second day at the Learning Experience today. I was fearful of her being upset with a new place, routine, and faces. I was more upset that she kissed me goodbye and waved with a smile. She's non-stop talking about her "happy day" in the evening. Thank this team for welcoming her, caring for and making me feel at ease knowing she is safe. You are so appreciated for all you do.

My daughter Anniston has been at TLE since October of this year. I am so pleased with the curriculum and the amount of enrichment that is offered. My daughter is so happy and Ms. Gabby and Ms. Ashley constantly go above and beyond to make me feel included in everything at TLE. I would highly recommend TLE to anyone looking for phenomenal child care!

My family loves TLE. My kids are both in elementary school now and yet every time we drive by a TLE location they yell out "Look it's our elephant school!" And then tell me some great story about how much they loved being there. Johnny still has a huge poster on his wall that his classmates made for him during an art project there. These people became part of our family.

My son was previously at a childcare well known throughout Jacksonville and was considered to be 5 star, but circumstances occurring proved different. Transitioning my son to TLE was the best decision made, communication is always a key factor in addition to safety and I can say they have met both from day one!! Keep up the great work!

So far my daughter has been there for two months and she loves it. The teachers are really awesome and you can definitely tell they genuine care for the children. Would absolutely recommend The Leaning Experience for anyone looking for a great daycare for the little ones that matter the most to us.

My daughter has been at TLE for over 2 years now and she loves it. She loves coming in each day and gives her teachers hugs. Everyone knows her by name and says hi. We have been very impressed with what she has learned. She learned her colors, shapes, animal sounds etc at a very young age. At 2 and a half she can already sing the whole alphabet and count to about 15. She loved the yoga program and comes home and practices yoga now all the time. TLE has also been very accommodating with her special diet as well. We love it here!

We are so happy with TLE. We previously had our son in another well-known daycare in the area as an infant. We pulled him out of that facility when he was 9 months old moving him to TLE and it was the best decision we have made for him. He has developed at an astronomical pace since we moved him, both physically and mentally. We were so concerned because he was behind on many developmental milestones when we brought him to TLE. Within a couple of months he was walking and talking just like the other kids in his class, and we attribute this change 100% to the care he receives. He loves his school and we love it too.

We love TLE! We visited several day care facilities before choosing one. TLE was one of the first ones we saw, and no others could compare! I wouldn't want to leave my precious baby anywhere else! The staff seems to really enjoy each child!

There was an issue that had come up with our daughter and Mrs. Grace handled the situation with such professionalism! Thank you

Dana had a difficult time transitioning to a new school but Miss Julie and Andrea help Dana feel comfortable and now walks in to class like she owns the school!

Daniella loves her class with Ms. Dee, she enjoys learning sign language and Spanish.

My family has been with the center for 3 years. Both my boys attend and could be any happier with the education and love that they are getting. All the teachers take a special interest in each child. They are happy when they arrive every day and sometimes don't even want to leave. TLE has become a family and home away from home!

London has been going to TLE since 2012. The school have provided my daughter with a great place to learn. I see the growth in my child's education everyday because when i pick her up, i ask her what she has done and learned in school today and she is able to tell me. I'm happy that we decided to use use TLE for our child's education. Ajay TLE Southside

I feel like to be home when I step in to TLE with my daughter, everyone is so welcoming and they all know my daughters name... which make her happy. .. I moved her to another school bc of travel time for like 2 weeks and couldn't believe how bad my daughter and I missed this place.so, after 2 weeks we decided to come back......and it feels like to be HOME... my daughter says to me "Mommy no more New School" ...lol which makes me even more comfortable that she is happy here..WORTH TRAVEL TIME IF MY ANGEL IS HAPPY

Adrianna has been going to TLE for a little under a year, and I have been nothing but impressed with the TLE management and staff. There is a true care for the families of TLE and is evident through interactions every day. I'm truly grateful for all that they do.

We love TLE! TLE provides the children with early learning skills, even in the infant room. The staff is extremely friendly and they all know my son’s name. My son LOVES the teachers and staff. The facility is always clean and the communication we receive has been great!

I was really nervous about enrolling my 4 year old. Grace and her team were very friendly and welcoming from the beginning. My son loves going there and I know that he is in great hands every time we drop him off there. My son loves his teacher and his friends and I love the curriculum they have established! They are always so welcoming and understanding!

We are very happy with our decision in enrolling our daughter with The Learning Experience.The academic programming structure called LEAP prepares my daughter to be successful in her public school.They allow our daughter to be herself as she learns and experience new things.My daughter likes to go to The Learning Experience everyday.The center has gives excellent care.Its a great place for children.

My daughter has been attending TLE since she was 3 months old and she is now in the Twaddlers classroom. There was a time when we considered moving her due to cost of care, however, we are so glad that we chose to stay! Yes, the cost is a little more than other care facilities, but the level of interaction and care given is unprecedented. We love her current teachers, Ms. Julie and Ms. Andrea and felt that they have really contributed to her growth and speech development. My daughter is excited every time she is dropped off and has grown very accustomed to the curriculum and routine which is both diverse and well-integrated. As a teacher, I have summers off. I appreciate that the owner is willing to work with my summer schedule to accommodate my needs during that time (not all care facilities are as flexible!) Overall, we are very happy with our experience at the facility and would highly recommend TLE to anyone considering a child care option.

We love TLE! Both of my kids have attended. The teachers are very loving and trustworthy. I wouldn't have my kids at any other center.

My children have been at TLE since 2009 and we have been very happy. My oldest son was enrolled from the age of 1 through VPK, and my youngest son is now in the 2 year old classroom. We have always been happy with the quality of teachers at TLE. I have not had problems with teacher turnover. My kids have always been happy to go to school and have positive attitudes towards learning. When my son entered Kindergarten he was ahead of the curve educationally. I feel safe and confident with my children at TLE.

My daughter has been attending TLE for about 6 months now in the twaddlers classroom and we LOVE it. Phenomenal teachers, staff, and facility. She receives excellent care and we have noticed such a positive change in her social and educational development. She loves her teachers and looks forward to playing with them as well as her friends each day. Knowing that I can drop by to observe at any time on their security cameras as without disturbing her class as well as receiving a detailed written report of her activities every single day gives me peace of mind. We are so glad that we chose this place to take care of our child!!

The schools has definitely exceeded my expectations. When I heard about TLE from a work colleague, I was excited about having such a great place close to home. They take great care of my daughter, she is almost 14 months now and has been there since she was 10 weeks old. They are very hands-on with their learning and help me navigate through parenting situations. As a new parent, I know I can count on them. Grace (the owner) really takes pride on having a great facility and follows every policy there is. She has been available when needed for discussions and advice, and addresses situations promptly. I know my daughter is in great hands and I will definitely recommend the Southside TLE to all the families out there!

We came to this center pretty quickly after pulling our children from another center and I am so pleased with our decision to move them to this center. We started in the older infant room and have progressed through numerous rooms and each room has an amazing teacher. I love the extra activities that they offer (yoga, soccer, etc) and my children love going to "school". The office staff are easy to work with and super friendly. They greet you as you enter and as you leave. Great learning environment with lots and lots of activities for the children.
