Our L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) Curriculum uses fun, hands-on activities throughout early education to help children develop intellectually, socially and cognitively. Or as we say, to learn, play and grow.
Children love learning from characters—and studies show that it’s highly effective especially in preschool and early education. TLE® has a cast of unique, beloved characters, each one teaching children a new value or activity.

We are very thankful for the flexible and warmhearted teachers at the TLE in Ballantyne. They supported our kids during a tough adaptation phase and were always open for an exchange! Special thanks to Mrs. Ashley (who is adored by our daugther) and Ms. Aveline!

We came to TLE on the recommendation of a co-worker and friend. She loved and raved about TLE. After checking out a few centers, it became blatantly obvious why she raved. THEY ARE THE BEST. We jumped on the waiting list and eagerly awaited the arrival of our first child, a daughter. When we we... Read more

We moved to the area when my oldest daughter was about to turn 4. She was very shy and had a hard time getting adjusted to new places and people. I remember dropping her off her first day and thinking she was going to have a hard time. I learned that afternoon it was going to be a great fit. Sh... Read more

It is reassuring to know we are leaving our son in great hands while we are at work. We love the learning and dev... Read more

JJ (and my daughter Evie) attended TLE 2 Charlotte from September 2012 to August 2014. We can't thank the staff and leadership enough for alerting us that JJ was behind on his developmental milestones. They also connected us to the county resources for early intervention. It couldn't have be... Read more

We regularly notice things that he learns while at 'school' and feel that they have a great way of learning through play. The staff is obviousl... Read more

We carefully chose TLE because of its promise of a rigorous Pre-K curriculum for our 4 year old and unique, imaginative play-spaces for our 1 year old. Our daughter was more than prepared for Kindergarten both socially and academically. Not only was she advanced into 1st grade reading but she... Read more

They were with us every s... Read more

Our daughter has been going to TLE since she was 15 months old and is now 3 1/2. We could not be happier about her education there and how she is taken care of. We walk around and there is not an employee who does not know my daughter's name. It is so great to feel like I am dropping Sofia off ... Read more
