My son transferred to TLE Wilmington, Ma just about a year ago and my daughter started six months ago. We had previously been with another daycare provider in the area (whom we thought was very good) but we had friends who spoke very highly of TLE. We went and scheduled a visit with Jessica and have been hooked since that day. From ownership/management to the individual teachers our children love "their school". We are greatly every day that we made the switch, we love TLE!
