Riverdale Preschool & Daycare Bronx, NY

Absolutely love TLE. I know my babies are in good hands and having fun. Most of all, they're learning so much! So grateful to be apart of amazing organization!

Our daughter started at this daycare over a year ago, and our experience with TLE-Riverdale has been consistent, supportive, and easy since. Our daughter came home surprising us with how much she was learning, and seemed very happy whenever we came to pick her up. She's always telling us how she loves “Ms Glenda,” and all the caretakers we met have been stellar. She came in knowing colors, she now knows colors in English and Spanish (she turned 3 last month). In addition to learning a lot, The way the facility has taken care of families during the pandemic has been above and beyond. Our daughter felt little change from the start of the pandemic. She knew that she needed to wear a mask, as we started training her for that. The daycare followed suit and had the same requirement. Add to that the fact that they have been open as much as they could be, and you have essential parents who are able to continue to work with little stress thinking about their children's care. We have since moved, but recommend this center to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive daycare. We will miss you Theresa and Surbhi!

To my TLE Family! Thank you for helping me, teaching me and for helping me to prepare for this new journey in my life. I would never forget you guys! Thank you all and will make sure to visit. Here is a Picture of me and my 1st day in kindergarten. Love Jessenia W.

The Learning Experience in Riverdale, located in the North section of the Bronx, is a wonderful place for young childrens developing minds. The children are always engaged in fun and enriching activities. Teachers are warm and friendly, as is the entire staff. It truly is an amazing learning experience for both the child and their family.

I sent my daughter to The Learning Experience from age 2-4. She absolutely loved it, and still talks about her teachers today. It is such a nurturing and friendly environment. My daughter has some difficulty transitioning to different environments and separating from myself and my husband. The teachers did an excellent job assisting us with the transition process, and after the second day my daughter was excited to go back. I would highly recommend this daycare, and I am very pleased with our experience there.

I would like to express how grateful we are that we found such a great place for Avery to attend since she was four months old. She's learned so much at TLE and has been cared for and loved. -Lindsay

Melinda, and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this amazing past year. It is difficult for parents to leave their kids for the first time, yet you and your team have made it a smooth experience for us. We watched our kids grow with you, learning and developing from toddlers to real people over the last year. I cannot thank Bethany and Chalay enough for taking such great care of them and helping them grow at such a pivotal time. The girls just adore them. I would also like to thank their “best friend” Yudi for taking such great care of them. In fact, I would like to thank the entire staff. The girls seem to know everyone and always have great things to say about them.

Hi Surbhi, Anita, and Team, I wanted to give a shout out to Kylie's Teachers: Ms. Arlyn, Ms. Suheidy, and Ms. Yudi. Ms. Arlyn-is always ready to pick up her kids on time and really sets a positive tone for the day. Ms. Suheidy-is so empathetic to the children. She comforts them when needed and is so thoughtful in celebrating and recognizing holidays with and for the children. Ms. Yudi-a natural lead teacher. She understands the importance of our partnership in raising Kylie. She is firm but compassionate and has really been working with me to push Kylie in all areas that she needs to be pushed in. Ms. Anita-thank you for your commitment and your endless work towards having a steady group of teachers across classrooms in TLE . Surbhi-sooo glad to have you back! You have been dealing with my crazy from the beginning!! Thank you for all that you do! -Sandy

Tara and I both are very happy with TLE. Ingrid is doing great, loves going to school each day, and continues to make great development strides. Thanks to the staff for all that they do. Thanks! John

Good morning, I wanted to mention a note about Ms. Solange. She was Dylan's assistant teacher when he first began in June 2017. I am so grateful and happy that Dylan's 1st formal preschool experience was with her. She was so patient, attentive and loving towards him. Occasionally I arrive at the school at odd times and every time I did, I noticed Solange was always actively engaged with any one of the children , whether it was during free play time or formal learning in the class. She was always at eye level with all the children, speaking with them, playing and holding them. Any concerns or issues I had were immediately remedied and addressed in a caring, professional manner. When I spoke with Dylan about his day, he always remembered her along with anyone else who had contact with him that day. I recently saw her and realized that she has taken on another class, after wondering where she has been for the past month or so, and being notified that Ms. Natalie is now in Dylan's class. I just wanted to let you know how much Dylan loves Ms. Solange and that I am relieved and happy that she is still working at TLE. She is a gem. Lastly, please know that I also am pleased with all the staff as a whole. Generally anyone who has contact with Dylan seems to have a positive influence on him. I also am glad and appreciate seeing that you have male staff on your team. (This is not the case in a lot of Nursery, pre-school programs). It is a nice balance and I think it is a positive impact on the children. Thank You again for your time, Noelle

I am so pleased and happy with TLE , Riverdale. This is Dylan's 1st experience in a formal day care setting and he loves it! He often comes home talking about the days' events and what he has learned. His first teachers , Ms. Solange and Ms. Becca are fantastic! Both loving, caring and attentive. I appreciate that the center has male staff and that the students come from diverse backgrounds. I also appreciate the school's early and late hours, which is a plus when you work non traditional hours! The staff at this school demonstrate genuine care and concern for all the children. The curriculum is interesting and fun for my son. He often comes home repeating his sign language word for the day , as well what he learned in Spanish and many songs. I cannot say enough how pleased I am, and how much Dylan loves TLE! - Noelle

Hello Ms. Surbhi, Well the day is finally here, Jacob's last day at TLE.😥 I wanted to thank you again for providing a place for my son to learn and be cared for when we were in a really tight bind. He has learned so much and has changed tremendously. I know he will miss you all. You have a very wonderful, professional and loving staff. They have always been courteous, kind and respectful. We will definitely stop by to visit in the future. I wish you all the best to you, your family and the business. I have no doubt that you will continue to be very successful in developing young minds. Sincerely, Alison & Kevin Moton

Dear Surbhi Syuta has been enjoying his time at TLE for his summer. I cannot believe it is just one more day before he graduates! Ms. Rachel has been great; he could adjust well and make friends. Seigo, of course loves spending time there, in the baby room. Thank you very much taking care of our boys and adjusting for our needs. Erina

Hi Surbhi! While Scarlett begins to transition to preppers, I just want to let you know how much we have loved having Mr. Mike and Ms. Kat as Scarlett's teachers. They are so great, and Scarlett lights up every time she sees them and you can tell she really enjoys spending time with them. We are really sad to be leaving them, although Scarlett will learn more in a classroom for a little older kids I know she'll be sad to leave them as well. We just wanted to let you know how great they are! Leslie

Hi, I just wanted to inform you that July 31st will be Nzoi's last day at TLE. She has had a wonderful experience with you and she will definitely miss her classmates and awesomely dedicated instructors. We will recommend your program to anyone looking for exemplary child care and early education. Thank you again, Siwatu Moore

Hi Surbhi and Susan, Thank you again for taking such good care of Oliver during his time at TLE. I just wanted to say that everyone was great, but there were a few people that I wanted to single out as going above and beyond: Yerica, Drema, Lauren, and Yudi were amazing! We were grateful to know that our little guy was in good hands with teachers that were so attentive and dedicated. I was planning on bringing thank you cards for the staff on his last day, but I forgot them in the chaos of the move. I'll be sending them to your offices in the next week or two. We'll visit next time we're in New York! Best, Gloria

I want to tell you a BIG thank you for Derrick's new teacher assignment. The stability is great but I have to tell you how much I love his teachers. A grade A++. These teachers have really been helping my son and goes the extra mile to give him one on one attention without request and without making me feel like he is behind. Within the past three weeks we can clearly see a vast improvement in his language communication, letter and number recognitions. He is now using multiple word sentences which we were not hearing. The Prepper teachers are just wonderful. Adding Miss Yudi and Miss Lauren to his teachers list is key to his vast development. Thank you. Shelly Ann Aiken

Our time at The Learning Experience has been wonderful. The staff are like family and they will truly be missed. I appreciate all that TLE has done for Harlow to foster her love for learning. On a daily basis she energetically sings her days of the week (boom boom) and the months of the year. We had struggles with some of her colors but now she knows them all. She counts further than she used to, and she has become better at sharing. Thank you for being her second family while we were at work. It was not easy seeking out a program that I felt comfortable with. Harlow had never been in a formal group setting prior to her enrollment at TLE and I was quite nervous about how she would respond. More importantly, my main concern was ensuring that she would be safe. TLE has been that blessing that we were looking for from the time we visited in September. I have left the facility every day knowing that she is in good hands. Continue to do the amazing work that you are doing with the children in your care. I wish you continued success. Thank you for being a part of our lives. Natachia

We are so grateful to TLE for how well she is taken care of by her teachers everyday! -- Kim

We have had a great experience with TLE - our daughter Dalia began in the infant room when she was about 4.5 months, and is now almost 11 months old (the oldest in the room). She absolutely loves going each day, and the teachers in her room have been wonderful. They really love the babies that they care for, and treat them with lots of care. Dalia has developed her social and physical skills really well - a lot of which we attribute to being at TLE for school. We are both teachers, and so we have here there usually from about 7am-4:45pm or so (Its been really helpful as well to have the option of early care for us). Essentially, we've really enjoyed having TLE as part of Dalia's daily routine.

I know that the teachers do a great job cleaning up normally so we thank you for going above and beyond the normal process. We are really happy with this school and Lyla is really happy in her class and loves her teachers.

Our daughter Olivia started at The Learning Experience shortly after her 2nd birthday. She adjusted to her new environment pretty much just as Surbhi and her classroom teacher Celina had said she would, which was quite comforting, since leaving your little one in the hands of others for the first time is so challenging. Olivia quickly loved her new school, the teachers, her new friends who call her name every morning like a Norm on Cheers, and the programming. We immediately started seeing her learning things which amazed us at her age, the days of the week, all her colors, counting to 20 accurately! All these months later, she has flourished at TLE, and I am so happy. It feels like a family there, combined with a wonderful learning environment where your child will grow in every way. It's a fantastic place.

I would like to thank TLE RIVERDALE for the most amazing experience we had opportunity to have. As first time parents, we were pretty scared to put our son to a daycare and entrust him to someone else but us. When we met back in October 2015 I had a good feeling about the place and people. And I was absolutely right! You guys are everything we would have hoped to find! We are extremely happy with your facility, exceptional management and outstanding staff! I wish you all the best and many many more productive years, growth and prosperity! Julia.

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say that I am so happy that Miss Jessica is in Infant B with Cosmo. I love the care and attention that she gives him. I am pleased with all of TLE staff members who I have encountered in the two months that Cosmo has been enrolled, but Jessica is the staff member whom I interact with the most due to the time of day that I pick-up Cosmo. She's fantastic!

To the Wonderful Teachers at TLE, This morning Brian dropped off Ziggy and immediately texted me a picture of his Father's Day present from her. It is beyond adorable and we cannot thank you enough for this thoughtful gift. Brian's immediate and effusive declaration of appreciation demonstrates to me how much it meant to him. We are both most impressed by the creativity employed in making a "foot ball" out of her footprint and also note that great care was taken to remember that we are NY Giants fans based solely upon previous outfits worn by our daughter. Such thoughtfulness is truly the mark of loving individuals and, as such, we feel mightily blessed that our daughter is in your tender care. Similarly, although I was remiss in not mentioning it before, my Mother's Day gift from Ziggy is much beloved by us both. It is prominently displayed in her bedroom and reminds us every day that, when not with her biological family, she spends her day with her TLE family. Thank you all for kicking Father's Day weekend off in such a wonderful way. Yours, Remi Shea

We have found a place where our daughter is developing her social skills, expanding her knowledge and exploring her creativity. There's no doubt that this is due to The Learning Experience in Riverdale. To any parent who values a compassionate well rounded developmental experience for their child, look no further.

Thank you to you and your staff for all the support you have given since my surgery; it has been a very challenging new year. Julian is enjoying his time at TLE and it's great that he has an opportunity to use all his energy in productive activities!

It has been such a wonderful experience for Sophia and for us as parents at TLE. We've been impressed with TLE's nurturing approach to child care. We were really nervous parents in the beginning and now have become comfortable ones all due to Rene and Amanda. There are no words to express how much we appreciate all they have done for Sophia and all they both have done for us. We'll definitely miss having Cynthia greeting us in the morning, spending time with Amanda and Eitan before leaving Sophia for the day and talking to Rene and Nicole in the evenings. Your staff has left a lasting impression on our family.

A dream come true could describe The Learning Experience in Riverdale. Great service, happiness for my son and a happy mom for sure. It has being one month open and i could see how much my son has learn and the quality of every little detail. My pre-K is happy and i am more. Thank you for the wonderful service.
