My daughter has been attending TLE since September and we couldn't have made a better choice. My daughter absolutely loves going to school; she's made friends and is in awe of her teacher Miss. Vikki. My husband and I have piece of mind with her updates throughout the day from meals; to daily activities and our favorite pictures throughout the day. I would recommend TLE to any family looking for the right safe school that will make there child thrive.

Our 2 children started at the learning experience last year and we could not be happier. 1. My son seemed delayed in speech after being home so long from the pandemic closure of our previous daycare and TLE made it a priority as he started and he was surpassing my expectations within 2 months. 2. My daughter had difficulty adjusting to her new schedule and with the kindness and compassion of her teacher she came out of her shell and is excited for school every morning. 3. The communication and availability of the teachers to parents is exceptional. Teachers are quick to offer help any way they can. 4. The curriculum is fantastic and comprehensive. The app that is used with TLE allows me to keep up with what they are Learning each day so we can follow up at home. Simply put, they have become an extension of "our village " to help raise intelligent, confident, kind,and compassionate little people.

My 20 month old has been attending since he was 7 months old and absolutely loves being there. He has learned so much already during his time at TLE and continues to show us new things he learns everyday. He looks forward to going to TLE to ‘play’ with his friends and doesn’t even turn back to say bye to mom! That’s when you know he is in good hands. The teachers and staff are all amazing and have given my son such a great experience so far. We love TLE and would highly recommend them to family and friends!

To the Wonderful Staff at TLE! With Great appreciation, my child's experience here was nothing less than Amazing! The level of respect given and received, the outstanding care and patience and very loving! Thank you dearly to Kat, Miss Jackie, and Miss Bridget! My child spoke HIGHLYN of you ladies and when instructed in school to complete tasks/duties, he would carry them home and say, "no, because Miss ____ said...." and it was just cure how caring, loving, and polite my child is with others. This was his first daycare/nursery/pre-school interaction, when he first started we both had a little issues adjusting, but as the months went by, I appreciated him having this experience, learning new things, making new friends and gaining more socializing skills. I would recommend for any child to be able to enjoy the experience they provide! - The Neal Family

Staying connected throughout the day utilizing the app is one of my favorite parts! The teachers, especially Miss Marissa, know my son and care so much about his happiness. She listens to my concerns, and has gone above and beyond in making sure my son is okay on a daily basis. Overall, all the teachers are all wonderful with the children. The facility is extremely clean. This is a wonderful place to send your children!!

From the first day my husband and I took our daughter to day care to now, we have felt nothing more than family vibes. Every staff member is so loving, caring and patient. Our daughter absolutely loves being there and us as parents have never felt any concern. I would recommend TLE in Toms River over and over again! You guys are amazing!!!!

As a previous child care director myself, and now a new mom, I knew it was going to be difficult to find “the perfect center” for my baby girl. TLE of Toms River definitely met my match. They are very clean, teachers are all super friendly, they all show a genuine care for my daughter’s needs as well as my own, and they are spot on with age appropriate curriculum and stimulating sensory activities. I feel comfortable leaving my most precious gem there everyday, and my daughter goes in smiling and excited to be at school. I’ve toured all centers in the area, and this is BY FAR the best of the best!

At nearly two, Brayden and Mommy have never been apart since birth. Making a transition to daycare, with all the new friends, teachers, and things to do has been something we looked forward to. We did not anticipate just how hard being apart would actually be for us though. There were many tears (maybe even more from Mommy than from Brayden), but the staff at the Toms River TLE has been SO amazing. Shannon and Lori have MORE than reassured Mom and Dad. His Toddler classroom teachers have been so incredibly patient and understanding! As someone who has never left my child in anyone else's care more than two times, I honestly can say that I feel so good in our choice with TLE Toms River....especially after we looked at many others in the area. This is the right place, the right people, and the best environment for our son.

My son, Alex O., is having an Amazing Year in Preschool 2 with teachers, Ms. F and Ms. B! He kicked off the school year learning how to spell and write his full name and is now excelling in writing the complete alphabet. The whole TLE staff is "all in". I constantly and consistently see tons of learning, laughter, and love! My whole family has enjoyed participating in the family events such as their Fall Festival and Trunk-or-Treat. Today, I watched in amazement how Ms. F and Ms. B incorporated spelling, counting, rhyming, and even sign language into a Spooktacular Halloween Play. We have enjoyed making so many wonderful memories and looking forward to many more. Keep up the fantastic work staff!

My family was so blessed to have our twins Tyler & Trevor attend your program for pre K last year. The personal attention, love and learning is above and beyond any other program we researched, and we DID research. The school is carefully monitored and safety is foremost. It is meticuously clean, the teachers are caring and skilled and the staff is thoughtful and mindful of the struggles of working parents and in the new age, grandparents. Without any reservation, this should be where you want your precious children.;-)
