Radcliffe is a wonderful school that fosters a great sense of community. I visited the school about a month before my due date after our original plans had fallen through. Pulling up to the school, its on a quiet street of Bristol Borough right off the river. The outside is well maintained with a huge play yard. Inside the hallways and classrooms are bright, clean and cheerful. I met with Christine, the Director of the school, and while I toured the whole school, we focused on the infant room. I was there at nap time and amazed that all the children were quiet or asleep. Magic! My daughter has been there now for almost 18 months and I cant imagine sending her anywhere else. As with any new situations, there was some growing pains, but the teachers and director always tackled them head on with open communication and a willingness to help resolve any issue that arose. The staff is worth their weight in gold. They always have smiles on their faces, know all the childrens names, and come up with great activities and projects. I have always felt that they took great care in giving my child individual attention and remembering even the most specific direction. There is no shortage of love and snuggles for their students that they care for as if they were their own. They are very flexible and open to trying new things (like cloth diapers). The school is constantly planning fun activities and parties, like Tea with Mom, Prom, Luau, Christmas Recitals. As for the curriculum, I cant believe how much my daughter has learned, everyone that comes in contact with her cant believe how advanced her expressive/receptive language is, how well she follows direction, and how independent and well behaved she is for 20 months old. I cant help but feel that RLC is more than partially responsible for that. I proudly recommend RLC to my coworkers and anyone in the Bristol area.

I currently have two children enrolled in Radcliffe Learning Center. I visited over 25 facilities being a first time mom. When I visited Radcliffe, I saw nothing exceptional but, there was a different feeling. More of a quaint small town feel with a great scenic background. Five years later, I am very happy with the choice I made. Radcliffe was slightly pricier then some of the schools I looked at. But, overall they were fairly competitive and they did include meals, which most others hadnt. (And, honestly when I see my friends scramble to pack snacks, lunches, etc. I am extremely grateful for the convenience!) My daughter is an August birthday and on the younger side for kindergarten. As I was debating whether to give her another year in pre-k, we received her placement test results. She scored at a first grade level. I cant put a price on the peace of mind that I get as a working mother knowing my children are nurtured, loved, and cared for as well if not better then I would do myself. I am a pretty high maintenance parent and I feel any issues I had were addressed and rectified immediately to my complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend Radcliffe.

My daughter has been going to RLC for almost a year now and this place is amazing. My husband and I shopped around for the perfect learning center for months and when we arrived at RLC immediately, we knew this was the one. Our daughter went outside and played with the other children while we toured and went to the class and was given a syllabus of what she would be doing this year by the director Mrs.Christine (she is a veryhands on director). She has now moved up to the next class but she maintains a close relationship with her first teacher Miss Amie. The teachers here treat the children as if they are their own. In less than a year she is potty trained, knows her ABCs , can identify her colors and numbers, she spells her name (8 letters) and she was only 2. The tuition is on the higher end BUT you definitely get what you pay for... Drop off as early as 6:30am and pick up no later than 6pm. Your child will receive 2 backs, breakfast and lunch and will LEARN throughout the day and not be WATCHED! RLC is worth every penny we pay, and I know we made the best choice by sending our child there.

My son has been going to Radcliffe Learning Center since 2011 (he was 14 months old) and he will be graduating from there next week... We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this school!! I knew from the moment I walked into Radcliffe that it was exactly the place I wanted to send my son. Being a part of this school really is like being one big family. The teachers are phenomenal!! They really care for the kids as if theyre caring for their own kids. I couldnt have asked for better care for my son. He loves all of his teachers (past and present) and has a close relationship with them also. They TEACH at Radcliffe!! Youre not just paying for a babysitter. The director is great too! She knows all the kids and families. Everyone there is super nice. Were really going to miss the Radcliffe family when we move on to elementary school in September. I recommend this school to any and everyone!

I LOVE RLC. I went to RLC when I was younger and I knew that I wanted my son to go there. My son was 15 months old when he started and has learned so much, my son will be 4 years old this July. He has learned so much from his ABCs, writing his name, the sounds the letters make, the different seasons, and so many more things. I love all the teachers and give them a lot of credit for caring and taking care of my son like he is their own while I am at work full time. My son is with his teachers more then he is with me and without them my Son wouldnt know as much as he does today. I just want to thank the entire staff at RLC for everything that you do for my son and that I know you will continue to do for all the other students at RLC.

When we were looking for care for our son, we didnt want to send him to a "chain" daycare where he wouldnt get a true learning experience, in my opinion. On our first visit to Radcliffe, I knew this is where he was meant to be. When our son started at RLC in the summer of 2013, he was just over 2 years old and wasnt talking much. Within the first month he was there, he started talking and hasnt stopped. He is moving up to pre-K in the fall, and Im positive his desire to learn will continue. Miss Chrissy sets the bar high and these kids reach for it with ease. I couldnt have asked for a better learning center for my son.

The office staff and teachers at RLC are amazing! My boy son has been going there since he was 3 months old and now my newborn goes there too and they both love it as well! All of the teachers know all of the children by name even if they arent in their classroom. They are always very helpful and truly care for the well being of each and every child. Miss Chrissy and the staff in the office are great as well, always pleasant and smiling and work closely with the families and children. I feel confident in the care that my children receive at RLC and would definitely recommend them to others!
