Leah and the crew are the best! My son is 3 1/2 and I’ve been taking him here for 4-5 months now, the team that is working there now is amazing, he loves all of his teachers tremendously and I always pick up a happy child, I’m a single parent and I have my son 90% of the time, and having the ability to know and trust that he is well taken care of while I’m working is priceless, the level of care and warmth that he encounters at this daycare really shows through in his behavior at home, I am confident that he is treated just as well at TLE Allen as he is treated when he is at home. I’ve looked at a lot of other daycares and you may find some bells and whistles that TLE doesn’t have but this location has something rare, great leadership and great chemistry on their team and it creates a phenomenal environment for our children to not only feel safe but thrive and learn. Thank you to the whole team at TLE off of Allen Heights, I appreciate each and every one of you and all that you do!

We are so grateful for TLE at Allen because of the caring people working there, the development & curriculum they provide to my son, and lastly the little things they have done to make parenting easier on first time parents. The staff, especially Ms Leah, have been such a great resource to us, providing insight or advice to parenting, being on top of everything that our child needs & communicating to us the good and the bad so we know what to work on at home with our little one. The curriculum they provide for the kids is high quality and as a parent it helps there is an app that allows you observe your child throughout their day doing different activities whether it be eating, sleeping or playing. Plus to see my 1.5yr son love to want to go to “school”, being able to almost say his colors, point to body parts correctly and be playful with other kids shows that TLE at Allen is the right place for us & highly recommend it to other parents who may be looking for reliable childcare.
