On behalf of myself and my husband Jim we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of our sweet Mason since January of 2014. He has loved coming to school and seeing his teachers and his friends every week. As a teacher I know how much you love these children. Mason has had a special relationship with all of you and it is clear you go above and beyond to make each child feel secure and cared for. It is so important as a parent to know that your child is in good hands when you are away from them. I have always trusted you with Mason from day one and I thank you for making him smile, drying his tears and giving him hugs while I wasn't there to do it. I don't think Mason fully understands that today is his last day with you all. I know it will be hard for him to go to another school because this is the only school he has ever known. He has grown in so many ways in his time at TLE and we have you to thank for that. He will miss coming to see you every week but hopefully we can come back and visit! Thank you all so much!

My daughter has been going to TLE-Billerica for a little over a year now and we couldn't be happier with our childcare decision. She just lights up when we walk up to the door every morning. The TLE staff have truly become an extended family to us. Miss Melody and her team provide a clean, safe, and friendly learning environment for our daughter. The staff really goes out of their way to make us feel loved and have been very kind and supportive to our family during difficult times. The teachers are wonderful role models that help our daughter learn social skills she'll need in life-- like sharing, listening, and patience. She is our only child, so I am grateful she gets to spend time with other children her age. She has really learned a lot this past year. Some of her favorite things to do lately are singing along to the Frozen soundtrack, "shaking it off" to Taylor Swift, finding her belly button and nose, feeding herself with a spoon, and my favorite of all---giving her sweet sincere hugs to the people she loves the most! Thank you TLE for being so kind to us and making us part of your family!

Casey is our first child, and as such, were very nervous and skeptical about childcare overall. The folks at TLE Billerica spent time educating us about how their program works, answered ALL of our questions (and there were quite a few) and this is all before Casey enrolled! Once enrolled, the teachers took over. He has been there for about 9 months and we have had the chance to work with some AMAZING teachers. They have answered all of questions (again a TON) and clearly really care about our son. You can tell by the way they talk to them, about them, handle them, and care for them. It was very stressful for us to leave our son for the first time, and the teachers made it very clear that he would be well cared for, and he has. I would absolutely recommend TLE Billerica.
