My baby has been excelling at his "school" (aka daycare). My baby has been going to the Learning Experience since he was only 12 weeks old. In the infant class he has had Ms. Kim as his main teacher. Every day I get pictures and updates on the app with what he is doing that day. While my husband loves that they make sure he naps and eats well, I really love all of the learning and play he gets to do! Every day he is doing new activities: reading with his teachers, doing sensory activities, arts & crafts, etc. I love that they have their own clean small gated playground with shaded areas. In the summer he gets to do twice weekly water play days outside and frequent playground activities weather permitting. For me it was a big deal that they supported our breastfeeding and they have. Especially when he was very young and the milk supply was of more concern, they would use the expressed milk wisely to make sure he was full but not wasting any milk. They also follow the guidelines on milk temperature and how long milk can be out of the fridge etc. With their help he has been able to drink breastmilk for his whole first year. Like all mothers I want to make sure my baby is developing well and is getting the same care he would have if I was home. He started walking months early and his verbal development is on track, so they must be doing something right.

I'm so thankful for this place! I found this place through Yelp and decided to check it out after seeing all the reviews. I called and was able to schedule a tour on the same day. Ms Aish and Ms. Kamille are both super nice and helpful. This was the 2nd daycare I checked out and compared to the other one, this one is cleaner and more legit because they have strict rules there in terms of cleanliness. My daughter has been going there since she was 2 month old and I credit this place for giving her the structure she needs and she's been a lot more content and happy since going there! Ms. Stacey, Ms. Kim and Ms. Caitlyn are her teachers and they are all really good with her. Love this place and I highly recommend!

This place is great! It was built from the ground up this year, so everything is brand new! We searched around and visited various places but this one stood out the most to us. It actually is a learning center ...not just some daycare. I give credit to this center for my son walking, learning how to eat, becoming social with others, and also developing his motor skills beyond what we were able to accomplish at home. Our son just turned 17 months and we are happy we put him at this center. He is developing skills that he would never at home or at a daycare. Check this place out! Rates are good too!

When my wife was pregnant, we had our eye on this school and it was open just in time! However, we wanted to look around first, just to be sure. We did a lot of research on TLE (the company) and the other child care center in our area. Our son was 11 months at the time and he can be a handful, so we wanted to make sure he was somewhere we would feel like he was enjoying himself and learning. The facility is very nice, the rooms are clean and they have specific and clear processes in place. This is why I prefer a daycare over a "family member", because I overall feel safer (policies people!). They have a double entry keyless system, which adds another layer of security most other daycares did not seem to have. They also have cameras w/audio in every room, for management to keep an eye on things, (parents are also welcome to drop by anytime and watch the cameras, very transparent!). We also like that the facility is large and are using the latest technology which can be exposed to our child as he grows. They even have a little pretend city, super cool! I wish they had this when I was in daycare! They offer splash days during the summer, which our son really enjoys! Anyway, our son has really taken to his teacher and she has been so patient and sweet to our son. The BEST PART is the photos and updates they send throughout the day, which I can view while at work, to see how my son is doing. It is comforting to know what he is doing that day. My only complaint if I had one, would be I would like MORE PHOTOS!! But I can imagine that can be a lot of work if you're watching a lot of kids. As a business owner myself, I pay close attention to certain things, such as organization, policies, technology, training, service, etc, and sometimes I'll linger around just to see a little bit of the behind the scenes. So far I have been very impressed with the attention to detail. Everyone I've come in contact with, the staff, management, everyone has been so friendly since we met. Our son has been there since the opening and is now 1 and is graduating to the toddler room. We expect he'll be there till he's ready for school and would recommend TLE to anyone looking for a great child care center. Hopefully this is helpful to someone looking for child care!

This is my update after almost 7 months & I still have nothing but positive things to say about this facility. My daughter has since moved into another classroom for her age & she is thriving, almost weekly she comes home doing new things that she has learned at school. My 19 month old has moved into Ms. Sherry's classroom & the transition was seamless, she is so happy to see her teachers at every drop off. Ms. Sherry is SO patient & loving, she does an amazing job with the littles. Ms. Sherry is exactly the kind of teacher you want with your babies, she knows how to speak, so they listen, she knows how to direct, so they know right from wrong. My daughter does things at home that I know for a fact she has learned since joining her new class less than 2 months ago. My daughter is more comfortable with Ms. Sherry than she is with most of her family members (lol) it truly amazes me how children pick up on energy & Sherry is truly a beautiful spirit. Having a classroom full of 18-24 month olds is not easy, but these teachers make it look like a breeze! Miss Iridian, Miss Belen, & Miss Cynthia are also amazing with my baby girl. She is so comfortable with these ladies & I truly appreciate you all for making this the most amazing experience for her , myself & her dad. We have never had to worry if she is being treated well or unhappy, you all play a huge roll in her development & happiness. We could also never ever ever ever forget Miss Mariana! She was one of the first people to interact with my baby when she was 13 months old & being dropped off for school for the very first time. My baby was sad & scared & did not know what to expect from this new experience. Miss Mariana swooped in comforted & loved her when she needed it the most. When you are a first time mom & going through sad & scared emotions right along with you child, Mariana is the person you need. To this day, when my daughter sees her, she smiles & hugs her. I can tell that she has a special place in my daughters heart & mine as well! Aish & Arun are always available to answer questions, truly the face of this facility & some of the hardest working owners I have ever came across. Still the best place to send your kids, hands down!

We enrolled our child during summer camp and it was quite the summer. He thoroughly enjoyed it and was eager to go back day after day. His vocabulary has exploded as well at 2.5 yrs old. The facilities are always creatively decorated and an inviting environment for learning. Facilities are well maintained, sanitized and clean. Outdoor equipment is also age appropriate with separate areas for younger and older children. I appreciate all the initiative the teachers and caretakers take. We thoroughly have enjoyed our experience with Ms. Alex, providing a fun, caring and safe environment for our child who has thrived under her care. She is always communicative and provides excellent recommendations that we use at home to ensure our child had a positive experience in and outside the classroom. Her energy and positivity engages her little ones and parents. Thank you for all that you do! We have just recently started the school year and have introduced more enrichment curriculum. Our son's vocabulary, spatial and fine motor skills have noticeably progressed. The owners here are also very hands on with their facility and are very upbeat, accommodating, communicative and just all around great people. Last but not least, there are plenty of centers closer to my home but have chosen this location because of all the great initial reviews and our ongoing experience during the last 4 months. I never have to second guess that my child is in good caring hands.

We enrolled our daughter into this program back in July and since then I have nothing but great things to say whenever I get the chance. The staff at TLE are wonderful, its always very clean inside, and well organized. As a parent it was very hard to part with our child every morning, but the staff are very courteous and professional, and now our daughter runs to the teachers every morning. We appreciate the attention that has been paid to the security and well being of our child during drop off and pick up times, and love seeing the photos of our little girl having fun and working on new skills. From playing on the playground with other kids, to circle time, art, and social development classes each day we have really seen her thrive. They include updates for each activity your child participates in, what they ate (or in our case, was picky about), when they changed diapers, and will let you know even if they fell and got a bump or scrape playing on the playground. Aish and her husband are great owners, and we thoroughly enjoy having our daughter in the program. We can't say enough nice things about our experience with TLE.

We have been waiting for TLE to open in Riverside for a long time! Now that they are open we have NOT been disappointed. They focus on safety, learning, and fun. My toddlers have been able to do so many new and fun activities since they have started at TLE. Their first week they had an Animal Show for all of the kids to see a variety of animals. Although they have been open a short period there are two things that make TLE standout from other daycares: 1) The people. The owner Aish, and Director Camille are absolutely amazing and professional. They answer questions quickly, and always greet my kids on their level offering hugs. Always. It's obvious their focus is on the kids, and making it a warm and welcome environment for them. The teachers they've selected are the same, and I know when I leave they are in good hands. 2) They have an app for parents. This app allows teachers to document our kiddos day/every movement. We get notified every time there is a diaper change, they are eating, or just playing. (If you don't like that many notifications you can turn them off). We get to see multiple pictures a day of our girls having fun and learning. We are so happy we waited for TLE to open, and we know we will be here for years to come. Give them a try you won't be disappointed!

I love this School, main reason is because of his Teacher Jasmin! When i first started bringing my son to his class i was nervouse like any mother would be. After a couple weeks I was so happy and lucky to have Jasmin as his teacher she is so caring and loves the children as her own, she comunicates so well with me about him everytime i to go to pick him up. She has put togeather pictures, drawings and every Holiday i have gotten something that involves my son with the year on it. She is always smiling and so amazing with the kids, i have sat in the class just to hang out for awhile and I dont know how she does it but it melts my heart. They also have a app where they post updates and pics of your child and that makes my day when im at work and i get those notifications. The front entrance is always welcoming and saying hi to your child, they are very professional about all situations and wouldnt want my child to go anywhere else. The learning experience is a great school

Earlier this school year, I was put in a position where I had to look for daycares for my 2.5 year old and 8 month old. Previously, they were watched by a nanny who was more like family to us, but she had to have an emergency procedure and was not able to continue to watch them. I had just started my new position as Assistant Principal at my middle school, and was in no way able to stay home. I was devastated, I couldn't imagine leaving them with anyone I did not know. I visited a few places and I did my research. The Learning Experience was the ONLY place I felt comfortable leaving my babies. I did my research, and they were at the top of my list based on their outstanding reviews. I thought the reviews were too good to be true, and was not expecting to feel as comfortable as I hoped I would feel. When I pulled up, I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it looked. It looked like a fun place my kids would want to go in to. When I walked in the staff was very attentive and comforting. One thing that really stuck out to me was the front office staff (Owners and Admin) greeting all the children walking in by their first name AND saying goodbye to all the children leaving by their first name. This is something I truly love and admire about this school. As an assistant principal, I know how important it is to make students feel welcome and wanted at school, and I so appreciated seeing this. (Side note: My kids go here now and they are ALWAYS greeted by their names in the morning and told good bye, so it wasn't just a one day thing I saw, they do this with all their kids every day). After a tour with Aish I was sold. All the children were happy, staff was attentive, the place was immaculately clean, and everyone had smiles on their faces. Of course, like any parent I was still very anxious about them starting; however, after touring The Learning Experience, I knew I wouldn't be able to send them anywhere else. After the first week of leaving my kids there I felt so comfortable, thankful, and happy we chose this place. The updates through the app and the pictures we receive throughout the day, help me to get through my work day. It's so nice to be updated when their diapers are changed or when they eat and to receive pictures of their smiling faces. I helps put my mind at ease knowing everything that they are doing throughout the day, since I can't be there. My oldest son is in the Twaddlers class with Ms. Jasmine and there are not enough nice words I can say about her. The love and care she shows my son is more than any parent could ever want. The reason I wanted my kids with a close family friend previously, was because I wanted them to feel loved. Especially at such a young age, this is so important for their mental health. Ms. Jasmine goes above and beyond by showing how much she loves the kids. She gives constant hugs and she always tells them she loves them. This to me, makes my heart so happy and my son truly loves her so much. That is all I could ever want. He LOVES going to school and is SO much happier being here. He has learned SO much within the past 3 months of his attendance. When he first started, he said a few words, and now he is talking non stop. He knows all of his colors and is working on his numbers. The level of learning happening in a twaddler class is amazing. My youngest son is in the infant class with Ms. Stacey and Ms. Kim. They make it so easy to drop him off, even when he isn't the happiest to leave me. They distract him and play with him and he now willingly reaches for them at drop off. They always update the app with diaper changes and feedings and naps which helps to put my mind at ease. He has also learned so much here like holding his own bottle, feeding himself, peek a boo, dancing, clapping his hands, and more. He always has a huge smile in his pictures and when I pick him up. He is not the easiest baby, and their level of patience makes me know there are special people on earth that love and enjoy working with babies. :) All that being said, I would highly recommend this place and would not feel comfortable leaving my kids any where else.
