I love this Daycare. It was really hard for me to leave my son with people I didn’t know but the staff at TLE has made it an easy transition. They are all very nice and are always very helpful anytime I ever need anything or have a question they are more then willing to help. Not only that but my son has learned so much, I love when he comes home and starts to do something new that I didn’t teach him. It makes me happy that they are doing their job and teaching my son so much.
