TLE has been a great place for our child. The teachers and the staff there are very caring and understanding. The teachers always have a smile on their faces and always remember to greet every child and parent as they see them pass bye. This gives the school a very positive vibe. The teachers also do a great job of keeping parents updated about their child's food intake, diaper change, sleep times and photos of activities through the mobile app. We feel fortunate to have found TLE to care for our child.

I don't have enough words of appreciation for TLE at Mill Creek. At a point in time when I was struggling to find a suitable caregiver/provider for our 2 year old daughter, TLE welcomed us with open arms mid-session, which is a challenge in itself. From Day 1, each of the staff have been caring, kind, empathetic, supportive beyond imagination. The enrolling process thanks to the wonderful Divya was a breeze, the acclimatization process thanks to the awesome teachers (Miss Jessica and others) was unbelievably smooth. Our daughter loves to go there every day, has been picking up on her milestones and we could not be more grateful to TLE and all the wonderful teachers, staff. It feels like a family, a community, where we could be there for each other through thick and thin, and not a transaction. Special mention of Director Lyn, she is a phenomenal leader who holds the community together in every situation.

We can't recommend TLE enough if you are looking for a great school for your children. My daughter started in Jan 2020, and now we have enrolled our son also. The school survived the pandemic, yet didn't compromise on the quality of educators and service. The staff is courteous, facility is always clean and well maintained, teachers are always willing to help and curriculum is up to date, and this is all possible under the leadership of a Lyn Stuart. The school is big on communication, which is always great and often go a few extra miles to help you and your children settle in.
