Our Caring & Experienced Staff

Teacher quality remains the top reason why families choose The Learning Experience Riverside.

Greg P.

For 3 1/2 years my son has attended The Learning Experience, since he started at 1 year old. I have to say it was a little scary turning over the responsibility to those other than close family. Before we did we spoke to some trusted friends, visited another local daycares and spoke to others on the phone. From the moment we visited this place, my wife and I knew it was the right choice. It wasn't the cheapest not the most expensive either, it just felt right. Since the beginning, we have been impressed and comforted with daily pictures and updates on the app. His teachers have all been top notch and the front office is run very professionally. Ms. Sabrina, Ms. Brittney, and all the other teachers and Assistants are fantastic. Ms. Belen runs this place like a well oiled machine which was evident at Last Fridays graduation and on a daily basis every time we walked in or needed assistance. We have been so impressed with this place that every time I see parents coming in to check it out As a potential for their child and I catch them outside, I tell them our experience. So now my son graduated, we are sad it has gone by so fast but excited for the future! Thank you to all the staff for your years of love, hard work, and dedication we will miss you.

I can't say enough wonderful things about TLE! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome and at ease. The teachers are not only warm and caring, but also genuinely invested in each child's growth and happiness. My child comes home every day excited to share what they learned, and I can see real progress both academically and socially. The classrooms are bright, clean, and full of engaging activities that spark curiosity and creativity. I also love how TLE incorporates a strong curriculum while still making learning fun through play. Communication with parents is excellent too I always feel in the loop about my child's day and milestones. It's clear that the team at TLE truly loves what they do, and it shows in the way the kids thrive. I feel completely confident knowing my child is safe, loved, and learning in such a positive environment. Highly recommend!

We cannot say enough great things about The Learning Experience in Riverside. As parents, finding a safe, caring, and educational environment for our children was our top priority, and we have found exactly that here. Both of our sons are enrolled, and we have thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The staff is great, welcoming, and professional. Our boys come home happy every day, talking about their friends and what they've learned. It is clear that the teachers, owners, and management are invested in the children's well-being. They are on the L.E.A.P curriculum, which is multi faceted and we have definitely seen a lot of academic and social progress in our kiddos. The facility is exceptionally clean and well-organized. I love the app they use to provide daily updates as it is helps us provide peace of mind on what our kids are doing, eating and learning on a daily basis.

We began sending our son to TLE Riverside around the top of 2023. He was only 6-7 months and we didn't know what to expect. We quickly began to see staff members teach with love at the forefront. we saw our baby boy not only be taught fundamental skills that will close achievement gaps down the line , but be nurtured and cared for. We began to trust the partnership with TLE and as educators ourselves my husband and I cannot thank them enough for providing a safe environment for our son to grow. Now,when we had to decide where to place our daughter there was no hesitation that she'd begin her journey with TLE as well. The facility is great but we've learned that the people who fill it are what matters most. When you have to rely on outside childcare other than family, consider TLE Riverside & I hope you experience the same partnership my family has been blessed to have for these formative years.

Safety & Peace of Mind

Riverside families consistently report feeling secure about the supervision, entry protocols, and overall safety standards at our Center.

Robyn

We have two children that attend TLE - Riverside. Our oldest has been there for the last 2.5 years. While nothing or no one is perfect, TLE has been great. From staff at the highest level down, have been very pleasant, helpful and responsive to our needs and concerns. We have nothing but positive things to say and feelings towards TLE. We've recommended this daycare/preschool to friends looking for a safe place to leave their kiddos.

Brittany

My family absolutely loves TLE!! They make you feel like family and it's been so comforting knowing that my children have been well cared for by everyone there. My son, who's now 8 years old attended for a couple of years and I truly believe it prepared him for kindergarten. My 4 year old daughter has been attending since she turned 2 and has thrived developmentally. Both of my children love this place. This will be the last summer for my daughter and then she'll be going into T-K. It's truly bittersweet and we will miss TLE and all of it's AMAZING staff :). Definitely recommend if anyone is looking for child care in the area.

Pooja

We truly couldn't love this preschool more. Both of my boys go here, and it's been such a blessing for our family. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how warm and nurturing it is. I feel that my children are part of a larger community where everyone knows them by their names and their individual personality traits. The teachers genuinely care about each child--not just academically, but emotionally too. My boys are excited to go every morning, which says everything. The balance of learning and play is just right, and I really appreciate the communication and transparency. As a working mom, I cannot stress enough how secure I feel through out the day knowing my children are well taken care of.

Tianna

Absolutely loved our time here! My son's development took of when he started attending. Before his second birthday he began saying the alphabet, counting to 20, and overall become more independent. So thankful for his teachers and the staff here! We definitely will miss them!

Cleanliness & Classroom Environment

Our parents regularly comment on the exceptional hygiene standards and welcoming atmosphere of our Riverside classrooms.

Paul L.

We absolutely love The Learning Experience! Our daughter, Alexandria, started at TLE when she was 8 months old, and it's been an incredible experience for her and us. It was a tough transition at first. Alexandria had just gotten used to her previous daycare teachers, so moving to a new place was a big adjustment. Thankfully, the teachers in the infant room, Ms. Kim and Ms. Lucia, were absolutely amazing in helping her settle in. Their patience, kindness, and genuine care made all the difference. They really took the time to understand Alexandria's needs and make her feel comfortable and loved. Since starting at TLE, Alexandria has grown by leaps and bounds. We've seen such positive development in her social skills, communication, and overall learning. It's clear that the curriculum and the teachers' dedication are having a wonderful impact. She's now in the toddler room and still loves going to school every day! A big part of that is thanks to her wonderful toddler room teachers, Ms. Ana, Ms. Ericka, and Ms. Elvia. They create such a fun and stimulating environment for the kids. And I have to give a special shout-out to Ms. Diana! She's Alexandria's absolute favorite person, and it's easy to see why. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and Alexandria just lights up whenever she sees her. We highly recommend The Learning Experience to any parents looking for a nurturing, engaging, and supportive daycare environment. We're so grateful for the wonderful care Alexandria receives, and continues to receive, as she grows with TLE!

Been with them for almost 3 years now and i have not had any issues. I love how they communicate so well with parents. Ms. Belen their director is very approachable and really shows true compassion. I love how all of them knows all the kids that come in and it really makes us feel welcome. Shout out to teachers: Ms. Kim, Ms. Lucia, Ms. Karen, Ms Diana, Ms Ana, Ms Kaleena, Ms Jenny, Ms Brittany, Ms Letty, Ms Stephanie, Ms Ericka. To be honest all their teachers are great. yes they are strict with the pick up and drop off rule so to those complaining just please follow the rules. It is not unreasonable because it is all explained from the start. They work with you as parents and will tell you of any issues. I like that they tell us what they did so we can continue the teaching at home to snip the behavior from the start. The center itself is kept clean! which is the biggest plus for us thats why we chose this facility. They send pictures through out the day on the app (makes me smile everytime). A plus recommend

Cicely B.

Our 19 month old has been enrolled at The Learning Experience- Riverside for two months now and we are over the moon pleased with the care they have given to our daughter! We started child care for the first time with our daughter at another facility and immediately moved her to TLE-Riverside. Now that we have something to compare it to, we know we made the right decision moving our daughter. Toddler B teachers, Ms. Letty, Ms. Samantha, and Ms. Blanca have been amazing. They go above and beyond to make our daughter feel loved, welcomed and integrated into the class. Drop-off of a toddler new to day care can be rough, but the entire staff makes sure to try to make this transition as easy as possible. They give hugs, hold hands and embrace my child when she is having a difficult time, which makes our family feel like she is actually being loved and care for in our absence. What I really love about this facility is that it is always so clean, super secure and every staff member will greet you as you walk in or if you are anywhere on campus...even if they are not your child's teachers; everyone speaks. The staff always seems to be in good spirits and it shows in their demeanor that they love their job. TLE-Riverside was recommended by a co-worker friend and we are so glad we listed. The school does a good job communicating the child's needs, as well as up coming events with the families. We love the app they use and the numerous photo updates that are sent to use throughout the day! Its great to see that little face while we are at work. In addition to great child care, our child is learning so much! She is coming home with new sign language, new foreign language words and so many new developments in her learning that we are seeing at home. We recommend The Learning Experience Riverside to any families looking for a great child care experience! Thank you for loving our child!

Sandra

This review is long overdue. My daughter started at TLE in August of 2021 after we looked at several preschools in the area. She was only 2.5 years old, didn't speak any English, and had never been cared for by anyone but me. She was very attached to me. She was assigned to Ms. Anna's class and gradually began to adjust. My daughter is shy and takes a while to warm up to people. TLE provided her with the best staff to ensure she had a wonderful experience. Every six months to a year, she would move on to another class with kids her age. In all her classes, she learned to socialize better, became comfortable with her teachers, and felt loved by them. I've always wondered how TLE manages to hire such caring individuals, from the people who greet you at the door to the teachers and floaters. My daughter graduated from TLE this past July and has now started kindergarten. She had such a smooth transition that I'm amazed. I believe that part of the trust she feels for new environments is due to the high-quality care she received at TLE. This review comes from a mom who was very apprehensive about choosing where to leave her child. Looking back, I feel fortunate to have made the right choice with TLE.

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.

Claudia

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!

Suleman

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!

Kindergarten Readiness and School Preparation

One of the most common reasons families choose The Learning Experience Riverside is our whole-child approach to kindergarten readiness.

Koreina

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!

Lindy

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.

David

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!

Breena

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

Hilary

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.
