The center will provide childcare, enrichment programs and early education for children from six weeks to six years of age. Its all-inclusive curriculum and programs include phonics, mathematics, science, foreign language, yoga, and a philanthropy program that teaches children the value of kindness and generosity.

The independent franchise location in St. Johns County is owned by husband and wife Vishal and Olive Saroopchand. The first-time franchise owners will employ over 30 teachers and staff to serve upwards of 180 children in the community.

“The Learning Experience provides the perfect balance of owning your own small business, along with the support of a nationally-recognized franchise brand with a proven track record of success,” said owner Olive Saroopchand. “My husband and I are thrilled to not only be business owners, but also provide great childcare and a well-rounded curriculum to help children learn, play and grow in our community.”

The Learning Experience’s proprietary Learning Experience Academic Program (L.E.A.P.®) curriculum and enrichment programs were developed through more than 30 years of experience in early childhood education. Its early literacy programs have 9 out of 10 children reading before Kindergarten, and the unique philanthropy curriculum was created in partnership with Make-A-Wish®.

The center in St. Augustine marks the franchise’s 31st location in Florida.
