Our experience at TLE has been incredible. Even before day 1, they went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable, with our four-year-old transferring from a home daycare to TLE's preschool, and our infant starting care for the first time. Since we started, we've seen both our kids absolutely blossom. Every person on staff brings so much joy and care to their work, and are so invested in helping the kids grow and learn and flourish. As a queer Jewish family with a very gender creative child, having a welcoming, loving, unconditionally accepting community for our kids was essential, and we found that here at TLE.

The warm welcome in the morning, spirit days, and curriculum is amazing. As any parent I’m very protective of my children, so when I found the learning experience I was excited to see the school. Since day 1 they have made sure I was comfortable and made my son feel comfortable. My husband and I look forward to hearing how his day went at school. The app is even better, getting updates at work eases my mind and I love seeing pictures of him learning and playing with his peers. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs childcare. Not only are they learning everyday skills to help them but seeing your child make new friends and having fun is the best.
