My baby girl is always full of smiles when I drop her off excited to see her teachers. She is only one but she socializes well with other babies. Thanks to TLE we also skipped the separation anxiety stage. TLE also has helped with my boys and has lots of patience. One of my sons has autism and TLE had shown him much kindness and understanding. My 5 year old also comes home with new things he has learned from writing to speaking Spanish.
