Our baby girl, Stella, is now 8 months old and has been at TLE in Apex, NC since she was 3 months old. Stella absolutely loves her two teachers (Miss Eve and Miss Udy), who could not be more nurturing or loving! Stella is excited to see her teachers each morning and gives lots of hugs and smiles each day when she leaves. This confirms that we have found the best place to care for our sweet girl while we are at work. Thank you for all that you do everyday!

I have been with TLE since 2011, and I worked with Toddlers and 2's before becoming a manager in 2016. I absolutely love our amazing curriculum and wonderful opportunities that are provided for our teachers and children. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my son Luke.

Hi my name is Erica, and I am excited to be a part of the TLE family. I just relocated here from Charlotte NC, in July 2023. I have been in the childcare field since 2008, whereas five of those years were spent in the infant/toddler classroom. Since 2013, I have been in childcare management. In my free time I love playing with my dog Charlie and going to the pool and the beach.

Favorite TLE® Character: Pablo Pigasso

I have been with TLE since 2014. I started as a Toddler teacher and ended as an Infant teacher before becoming a member of management. I think its incredible that our children get to learn the curriculum throughout the month with some amazing characters, in fact Pablo Pigasso is my favorite. During my spare time I enjoy watching scary movies and spending as much time as possible (that she will let me 🙂) with my teenage daughter.
