My grandson is attending this daycare and loves it! My daughter is able to share pictures with me of his day and it always looks like he is having a great time! He loves the playground here and now when we go to the park at home he is so much more confident and ready to explore. He is also learning basic sign language and can sign "eat" and "more". I can truly see a positive difference in my grandson and I love it. TLE is an answer to a prayer for us!

TLE in Ashburn has been such a wonderful daycare for my 15 month old daughter. She absolutely loves the playground and all the characters in the facility especially the elephant Bubbles. My daughter was previously in Homecare so I was nervous about the switch but she is loving it and thriving! The staff is absolutely amazing and has made this transition such a positive experience. I’ve noticed such an improvement in her social and emotional well-being and just becoming more independent and confident in herself. I really appreciate the photos and updates throughout her day with the TLE Parent App along with how secure the facility is. Highly recommend! 😊
