Teacher quality remains the top reason why families choose The Learning Experience Richmond.
My wife and I were nervous sending our little Maddie to daycare, but the people at The Learning Experience Bella Terra put our worries to ease. I couldn’t think of any other place than this for our little one from infant to toddler Maddie is getting more advanced by the day.
My daughter had such a wonderful experience with TLE. She will surely miss you all as she embarks on her new journey in kindergarten. Thank you for being her second home and second family.

Richmond families consistently report feeling secure about the supervision, entry protocols, and overall safety standards at our Center.
I have been so impressed with The Learning Experience from the start. They have gone above and beyond to take care of my baby. They love him like he is one of their own. I never have to worry about his health or safety because I know he is in great hands. During this uncertain time, TLE has blown me away. They have taken additional precautions for safety and well being. They have also communicated everything really clearly with parents. I highly recommend our Bella Terra center!

We chose this Learning Center for many reasons, but the experience and the growth of our child here has been the most rewarding. It's important to us that outside of our home our child is also learning good values & structure- and she is and it shows. It takes special people to take on many toddlers and to be able to provide such discipline. I have seen The Center Director Lauren take the time to supervise the staff to make sure they're a great fit for the center and our kids, and the staff has been wonderful. I am so grateful for all the staff here, especially the teachers of the Twaddler class. They take the time to know the personality of my toddler and even notice if she's not drinking enough during the day. At the same time as being cared for my 3 year old is learning. Randomly she will count to 13 or sing nursery rhymes. Thank you to all the staff at The Learning Experience Bella Terra for all you do.

Maya Whittier's last day at TLE was this past Friday. I wanted to let you know that we have been very pleased with the care and learning Maya received while attending TLE Bella Terra before and after school during her kindergarten and first grade years and summers in between. She has grown and learned tons ! Special thanks to Miss Cindi for her solid care and nurturing to Maya while she has attended TLE. Miss Cindi seemed to provide the right amount of kindness and direction that Maya needs as she has grown to be a polite, sweet and smart child.

One of the most common reasons families choose The Learning Experience Richmond is our whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness.
My daughter started going to TLE- Bella Terra when she was 6 weeks old, and she's now almost 1 year. As a working mama, it's hard leaving your child to someone else's care, but The Learning Experience made the process easy! While I was pregnant and touring daycares, the staff took the time to thoroughly take us through the facility and explain their education programming and daily activities. We loved it! And now, 11 months later, we still feel complete comfort with our little girl going there day after day. There are two security doors, and you go past the front desk before anyone can get in, which was one of the best security features we found when touring facilities. The staff is incredible and my daughter has grown to know and love her teachers. They've watched her grow this past year, and I can tell they love her, which means the world to me! I definitely recommend TLE to all of my friends who are having babies or who have kids that they're looking to put in daycare and/or after-school care! We'll be there for years to come!

My son has been excited to go to TLE before it even opened. The staff promotes a friendly, learning environment and they take the time to really get to know the parents and child. My son is having a great "learning experience" at this facility. He is learning new concepts and thinking "outside of the box". He is so comfortable with his teachers and before he leaves, he has to give his teacher a big hug. The teachers keep me informed of my child's progress and behavior so I am always up to date on what is going on. Sometimes I am in a rush when I drop off/pick up my son, so the email blasts keep me current on upcoming events, etc. TLE is a great community with caring and reliable and staff. I appreciate their dedication and I am glad that I choose TLE for my son's after school care.
