Curriculum that develops the whole child

TLE Brushy Creek has quickly become an extension of our family! We started at TLE Brushy Creek after struggling at another school and have loved every minute of the past few years. My second child started as a newborn and my oldest child is now involved in after school... he was well prepared for Kinder; both kids amaze me with the things they learn and say! TLE has a great app to keep parents informed and send pictures. The teachers and staff are fun, friendly and attentive and the owner and management team (Erin and Jannifer) are absolutely amazing! They have handled the Covid-era very well and kept our children healthy and safe. I love their curriculum, the Make Believe Boulevard play room, outside play areas and that TLE includes the extracurricular activities on a rotation versus bringing in outside vendors that you have to pay extra for or feel guilty not signing up for. Super cute school and amazing staff... thank you for all you do!!

My son has been attending TLE Brushy Creek since January and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for him. The Director, Ms. Erin and Assistant Director, Ms. Jannifer make you feel comfortable and welcomed right away. Every morning you and your child(ren) are greeted by their smiling faces. Some things I really love about this center are the security measures put into place, I get pictures and updates on my child throughout the day, their communication is exceptional, they are consistent, the center is always pristine, the curriculum is awesome and my child is always being exposed to new and fun things that teach him different skills, ALL of the staff are really friendly and caring and best of all, my child NEVER wants to go home! After greeting me, he always tries to go back inside. Even during the pandemic, I feel 100% secure in my decision to allow my child to continue attending school. Erin has done a phenomenal job staying involved and keeping this center above average. Seriously, when you think of the perfect daycare center (as a parent), this place hits all of the marks and then some. I couldn’t be happier, I literally have no complaints whatsoever. If you are looking for childcare, please consider TLE Brushy Creek, you won’t be disappointed!
