The Learning Experience - Jacksonville River City

From the moment we visited, we knew it was a special place for our son. The warmth and care that emanates from this facility are truly remarkable, and it all starts with the incredible staff and their dedicated leader, Mrs. Ricki.

Building and Facilities: The daycare itself is a vibrant and welcoming space, designed thoughtfully with children's needs in mind. Each area is clean, safe, and filled with stimulating educational toys and resources. It's evident that a lot of thought has gone into creating an environment that is not just functional but also nurturing and fun for the kids.

Staff and Education: The educators here are outstanding. They are not only highly qualified but also genuinely passionate about their roles. Each day, they bring a perfect mix of professionalism and warmth to their interactions with the children. It's a joy to see how they foster a love of learning and encourage creativity in every child.

Mrs. Ricki's Leadership: At the heart of this wonderful team is the building director, Mrs. Ricki. Her leadership style is inspiring – she's hands-on, approachable, and always seems to be in tune with the needs of both the staff and the children. Mrs. Ricki's commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the daycare's operation, from the curriculum to the daily activities and the overall atmosphere.

Communication: One aspect we particularly appreciate is the excellent communication. Regular updates, photographs, and detailed reports on our son's progress make us feel involved and reassured about his daycare experience.

Overall Experience: Since enrolling our son, we've seen him grow immensely in his social skills, learning, and overall happiness. The nurturing environment, coupled with the educational activities, makes this place more than just a daycare; it's a community that's helping to shape our son's future in the best possible way.

A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Ricki and her outstanding team for making our son's daycare experience so enriching and enjoyable.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Kelly! She is so good with the kids and invest quality time with each one of them to ensure they are all learning! My son absolutely loves her- Best VPK teacher!

Mrs Kristie, I consider it a blessing that two of our four kiddos, Leif and now Camp, were able to have you caring over them during their first years of life. As you know the most innocent ones among us speak with their eyes and smiles, it’s obvious to me and anyone who can see that my boys absolutely adore you.

There is a song my mom used have me rewind over and over (yeah I’m over the hill) that I can’t think of without thinking of you. The song is titled Thank You by Ray Boltz.

Apropos to that song’s lyrics, I truly believe there is a single thing worth anyones time and energy, and that is to create and foster positive relationships with one another. The impressions we make in the lives of others around us ripple out and carry on when we are no longer here.

Thank you for offering your time and opening your heart to two of the most important people in my life, I’m forever grateful for you!

P. S. As important as everything else, I do appreciate and often need our humorous back and forth to start the day. Thanks again.

The teachers are what made it for us. Mrs. Kelly was our VPK teacher and she was so amazing with our son. She was patient and really understood the kids. She gets a 5star!

This morning I dropped my son off to school and walked into Ms. Marnice’s kiddy jazz lounge. It was a WONDERFUL way to start my morning and such a creative and inspiring experience for the little ones in her class. I was really moved as a parent to see Ms. Marnice think outside the box. That’s what our little learners need! Great job TLE… Ms. Marnice gets ️️️!

Ms Breanna was always amazing with our son. He really formed a close bond with her and it was apparent that all of the kids adore her.teachers are what makes the facility so amazing.

Have nothing but great things to say about TLE River City. I’d love to give a shout out to Ms. Patricia for being so consistent and determined in potty training our oldest. I owe it all to her! Ms. Krystal has been great with our youngest and is wonderful! I can’t forget about Ms. Aneesa and Ms. Alayvia teaching our oldest Spanish. I could go on and on about all the staff here. Y’all are the best!

Our baby girl started at TLE in September at 8 weeks old & we could not be happier! Ms Kristie & Ms Kaitlynn with the help of all the aids take such good care of our baby I rest easy knowing she is in the best hands.

Our family has been so thankful for TLE-River City. After many tours of daycares in the area, we knew this was the environment we wanted her to be apart of. Our daughter started when she was 6 months, in Ms. Kristie's class and we are amazed by all the skills she has improved on! Ms. Kristie and all the other teachers that work with the infants go above and beyond to spoil our little girl like their own. Ms. Kristie has been nurturing and caring and you can tell she really does care for all those babies. As first time parents, Ms. Kristie has made it so easy to send our little girl to daycare! Thank you for everything you do!

Ms Alayvia in preschool 1 and Ms Patricia are absolutely amazing! My son dean has known them since he has started at tle and he can’t stop talking about them even when he gets home! My wife na do were worried about how dean would be but he absolutely loves them!

My daughter, Selena, enjoys going to TLE River City. Big THANK YOU goes to Ms. Meriem for her professional, dedicated and caring personality. Ms. Meriem made a big difference in teaching Selena great skills and we have noticed her learning improvement. Selena and all the kids love Ms. Meriem and enjoy their learning time with her in the class room. Again, thank you Ms. Meriem for being a role model teacher at The Learning Experience - River City.

My daughter loves to go to school and learn.
Ms. Meriem has a great way of understanding and teaching the kids. I was amazed how fast my daughter’s skills improve and keep growing to a much higher level. I notice not only my daughter loves her but all other kids love her too. She is very patient and caring person which make her a wonderful teacher.

I absolutely love TLE!
This location is the best I’ve ever seen!

My daughter loves her teachers and has learned so much at her age! Ms. Patricia, and Ms. Diamond are the best with kids and really work to help them overcome when they are having a bad day or need a boost to get through a tough moment! Every teacher we have passed by or spoken too have all been so sweet! (Though some teachers shift rooms, they are all amazing!)
We can’t wait for our newest daughter to join in a few short weeks! We already know she’s going to be spoiled just like her sister

My daughter Kali Haines absolutely loves going to school. I feel like she has come out of her shell so much since starting TLE one year ago. This is not just a daycare, they really teach and prepare your kids for kindergarten. My oldest was well prepared when she started elementary school. Kali is constantly amazing me with how much she has learned. Her teacher Mrs. Meriem is an extremely warm and nurturing person, she truly has a gift and i'm blessed to have her caring for my daughter at TLE while I am at work. It's difficult to find good childcare and difficult to trust people with your children, at TLE I know my kids are safe and well taken care of. Mrs. Meriem keeps me updated on her progress, puts in time and effort with all her babies and you can tell she is passionate about what she does. She has a heart of gold and as i've said I am blessed Kali is in her class. All the teachers she has had were wonderful, Kali loved ms. Krista and Ms.tatiana so much and I was worried about her leaving their class because they were both so wonderful but Mrs. Meriem helped with that transition.

This Review is to not only capitalize on the facility but to my daughter’s teacher (Ms Patricia)
Ms. Patricia has a great way of understanding and teaching the kids at their age level. I’ve seen my daughter social skills enhance to an exceptional level and continues to grow and improve to a much higher level. Ms Patricia takes her time in learning each child specific need and or requirement- the children loves her and embraces all the love she provides daily. I thank her so much for also putting this first time mommy mind at ease when enrolling my daughter at the Learning Experience! I enjoy seeing the smiles, laughs, and educational learning posts from the classroom on a daily basis.
Thank you Ms, Patricia for your hard-work, dedication and commitment to the children in your classroom: especially my daughter (Myracle)

I cannot say enough great things! Our baby has been going since she was 9 weeks old, and from the very beginning Ms. Kristie has treated her like she was her own! From the second she sees Ms. Kristie, she is all smiles from ear to ear. You can just tell how much Kristie loves working with those babies and is just pure joy to be around. She has made sending our first baby to daycare an absolute breeze and put my mind at ease from day 1. Thank you for all you do Ms.kristie!
