The learning experience has been the best decision we’ve made for our daughter’s care. It was very hard for me to leave my daughter on her first day at 4 month’s old, but the love and care we got from Magda made it so much easier. The staff is incredible, Miss Rae is receptive and understanding, the curriculum is outstanding, and the facility is always clean. Our daughter’s first few months in infant A, Magda truly treated her like her own. Her love, care, and passion for her job goes beyond what is expected. My daughter loves seeing Magda, and their bond continued to make me feel comfortable and confident in the care we’ve received at the learning experience.

They do a good job at keeping parents updated through the app on all activities that take place throughout the day. If I had any concerns, or simply wanted to check in on my child I can get in contact with them fairly quickly. Their learning curriculum is great, his teachers are kind, and their COVID precautions work for me and my family. I highly recommend you give this daycare a chance, you won't be disappointed!

From the moment we stepped foot into the Learning Experience, my child's face lit up with the vibrant colors and warm welcome we received. We knew this was the place for him. He looks forward to coming to school each day and has curriculum including Art, Science, Literacy, and Math among other subjects. He is only 20 months old. As a teacher this makes me feel he is in the best place to grow and development all while practicing social etiquette. We love the school and staff and would not send him anywhere else. Keep up the great work TLE!

Very personable patient understanding and it gives me and my wife peace of mind. Our daughter is so happy with the teachers and activities and is very comfortable with her peers and is developing beyond our expectations.

My daughter was 3 when she began, she was excited yet terrified. After a couple weeks she is totally comfortable as am I with TLE. She enjoys her teachers and class mates so much that’s all she talks about. She would attend 7 days a week if she could.

My husband and I moved our 2 year old from a different daycare and this was the best decision we made. The team and staff were so inviting and truly made our baby Mia and us feel like family. They truly know how to not only care for children as if they were there own, but they are literally co-parenting with us. From the curriculum to daily feedback, we could not have asked for more. Truly amazing care takers and family!!

The school exceeded our expectations for our daughters education and child care. The teachers and staff are wonderful and work very well with the parents on the child's development. We could not be happier with our experience here and would recommend The Learning Experience at Rivercrest to everyone seeking a good place for child care that will focus on education and treat your little ones just as their own. Thank you for the time and patience with our daughter. We will miss everyone here.
