There is never a day that she screams or cried before going in. When we started weening her off the paci they were so helpful in aiding in that change. She comes home singing, counting, and has such an incredible vocabulary. I could not have put in better hands.

Kulsoom Zaidi

Franchise Owner - Business Manager

Favorite TLE® Character: Flexi Flamingo

When I moved to Houston from Toronto 8 years ago, I started a career within Corporate America immediately. While I loved my job, I constantly found myself wanting to help people on a more personal level. In 2016, I was fortunate to learn about TLE and its amazing curriculum through my husband’s family, who've been in child care for almost 30 years. Coupled with the knowledge I gained through their experience and wanting that human connection, I found myself intrigued about the “TLE way”. TLE truly cares and takes into account what parents want for their children, as well as what the children themselves want. Not only do I have that special connection(with little and big humans 😉)I’ve been looking for, I now have a path to make a difference in people’s lives. In today’s demanding day-to-day routine my ultimate goal is to give families a worry-free, happy, and worthwhile experience. <3
