The Learning Experience - Richmond

I was new to the Richmond area, and had no idea what preschools were decent and affordable in the area that also had a stellar curriculum, and an exciting school environment for my 5 year old son Honor. After a heavy research of at least 20+ preschools that fit my personal requirements, I found “The Learning Experience!” I Immediately knew without a question that it was the perfect school for my son! It’s as if the sun literally shines on that school and the kids there. The area that the school is located in made me feel so safe, especially with a police station just located around the corner. I love the fact that Walmart was right on Parham road by the school, so I could grab lots of little things for my son as I needed, and he loved that it was a Dairy Queen right up the street so we made a routine to get blizzards every Friday after school to promote his good behavior:)

Walking into the building it just makes you feel like a kid all over again! The Director, Adrienne, is just phenomenal. She immediately understood what I needed, and didn’t encourage me to settle for anything less than great for my son. What did it for me at the “The Learning Experience” was the playhouse they have inside that looks like a Life - Size Shopping Center for the kids to play in, the fact that they teach Spanish and Sign Language, the diversity in the students and staff, the artistry displayed in every corner of the property, the excitement in the expression on all the kids faces there, and most importantly the fact that it felt like a Second Home! One by one I met each teacher and touched every hand, and the welcoming energy has remained consistent every morning, and every afternoon! That is so important to me, being a working mom knowing that my son is being loved and cared for 100% of the time while I’m at work is a MUST! The Summer Camp activity fee was a great investment for his summer, I mean the Art museum, Skating, The Zoo, Canal Boats the list goes on!

If you’re looking for a school that’s going to work with your child, teach them with a great curriculum, Activate their creative talents, and give them a True Learning Experience, this is the place! My son is an official “Learning Experience” Graduate! He’s talking more than ever, he’s ready for sports, he tells me about his day with lots of exciting story’s and he truly is prepped and ready for elementary school thanks to the academic and adventurous push from “The Learning Experience”.

I have never written a review ever before in my life before this one, I guess when you actually do have a great experience, especially when your kids do, you just have to shout it to the rest of the moms out there! It helped me so Here You Go!

Good Luck,
Ryan A.

Schedule a tour for my 3 yr old today and it was AWESOME! We enjoyed the environment the staff was super friendly. And most importantly we got a great vibe our daughter is excited to be starting preschool here! Can’t wait for the car ride homes!

My daughter has been going to The Learning Experience since she was 18 months old. We love all of the teachers that she has had and has. She is now in their after school program and it has been a great 7 years. We started shortly after the school opened and LOVE how some of the teacher are still working for the center. The office staff is quick to respond to any questions or concerns that our family may have. I would highly recommend this school to anyone. The not only prepare your child for Kindergarten, but make you feel like you are family to them.
