Sumaiya Nasar

Lead Teacher

Favorite TLE® Character: Grace and Charity

My name is Sumaiya; I hold a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Psychology with a concentration in Development from CUNY Hunter College. My understanding of a person's development across their lifespan, paired with my teaching experience in a first-grade classroom in Brooklyn, deepened my interest in early childhood education. I’m especially passionate about how young children grow into curious, capable learners, and I love being part of that foundational stage in their development. My favorite food is sushi; I love Philadelphia and Shrimp & Mango rolls. My favorite color is Pink (I think being born a day before Valentine's Day definitely plays a role in that because in my opinion, February is an all-things girly month). One of my favorite hobbies is any form of a documentary, tv show, book, or even a game. My favorite restaurant is Top Thai in Greenwich Village.

Aquilla Campbell

My career has been focused on connecting with people, building strong relationships, and ensuring things get done efficiently while keeping a positive environment. I love a delicious salad!

Monica Caraballo

Co-Teacher

Favorite TLE® Character: Penny Polite

My name is Ms. Monica. I have been a teacher for 30 Years! I have a CDA Certificate and just recently completed my Montessori Certificate as well. I love the one’s community and have worked with children from 2 months to 10 years. I have taught myself basic languages to help children who English is not the first language. This helps with transition. I also know a bit of sign language that I love to teach the little ones. My favorite food is Asian food and pasta; my favorite color is purple and black and my favorite hobby going to K-pop concerts and hanging with my kids and pets. Lastly, my favorite restaurant Wonjo it’s a great Korean restaurant in Manhattan

We have only the best things to say about tje learning The Learning Experience, Ms Laniah the Manager was incredibly helpful communicative and was very plugged into every aspect of my childs learning and wellbeing and ofcourse his teacher Ms Brenda is a real gift, she is loving, caring, energetic all the kids absolutely adore her including my son! He had no trouble at all adjusting and was fine, even happy at drop off's. If you are in Williamsburg and looking for a daycare you cannot go wrong with TLE. Thank you team TLE for creating a home away from home for my son, we will miss you dearly

We were one of the first families at TLE Driggs and can't say enough good things about our experience! We previously had a nanny and were worried about what daycare would be like. It has been a wonderful experience for us and for our baby. The Director is absolutely amazing to work with, communicative, kind, and on top of running the show. They host events around holidays and celebrations for both the students and families and have created a sense of community and family. The teachers have been just as wonderful. We are up to date on what's happening with our son, informed on his challenges, milestones, and everything in between. They even do parent teacher conferences to keep everyone on the same page. We especially love the app they use to track his day - everything from when his diaper is changed, when he eats, how much he eats, and cute photos of him and his classmates. We waited months for TLE Driggs to open and it was worth the wait. If you're looking for a warm environment and caring staff, look no further.

My 5 month old daughter LOVES TLE (and so do we!). Ms. Leniah, Ms. Monica and Ms. Aquilla plus the broader TLE team are incredibly energetic and highly committed. I feel our daughter is in the best hands.

We moved to TLE early fall and have been very happy. Our son has a blast in class — seeing the pure joy on his face in the photo updates is reassuring we made the right decision to change daycares. The staff is lovely and Ms. Laniah is a transparent communicator, who genuinely cares about the kids, families, and staff. We had some concerns about how the transition would affect our son and she was very helpful in. Ensuring it was smooth and connecting with us regularly to address any thoughts we had. We’ve found her to be a refreshing change from the director at our son’s previous daycare where we were not made aware of changes in a timely manner and felt there was a lack of communication overall. Aside from communication, she goes above and beyond for the kids. This past week she scheduled for the NYPD, FDNY, and local EMS to come in and speak with the kids. I haven’t heard of many daycares doing this — it was an incredible experience our son won’t forget.
