My family loves this place! The staff and the programming are amazing, and I can see that everyone pours their heart and soul into the kids. My child has been going to TLE since last year, and we cannot be happier with his development.

We recently moved to Mesa and were looking for a good school for our 4 and 2 year old. It was important for us to find something that offered a strong early education curriculum without taking away playtime and fun for our kids. After researching and reviewing 50+ daycares in our surrounding area, we chose TLE at Eastmark and could not be happier! Some of the highlights for us so far have been: - The absolutely amazing, attentive, and caring staff. The entire team at the daycare is friendly. The moment you walk into the door to check in they’re saying good morning, asking about your day, asking the kids how they are - and it’s so genuine. They truly care about not just the kids but the family as a whole. My kids have transitioned to other classes but their old teachers still say hello and will give them hugs and engage with them. The team truly cares about all of their kids. - The educational curriculum. I love all of the characters and how they focus on different areas. Penny Polite, Bubbles, and Flexi Flamingo are big hits in our house! My kids get kits to take home that they’ve worked on at school that meets age and developmental milestones. Everything is a teachable moment in the classrooms and the life skills they are learning are so crucial. I love how I can compound on these skills at home as well. This week at home we will be transferring plants they grew at school into bigger containers so we can keep the learning going! We also love to watch their YouTube channel for when we get screen time at home. It’s so great to have so many ways to incorporate what they do at school into what we do at home. - All the activities have been so fun! TLE has so many neat things for families to be present in. My husband and I loved attending the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day activities. We’ve done some ice cream socials and the Summer of Fun has been, well, so fun for the girls, the water days are their favorites! - The app is amazing! We love all the pictures and updates we get throughout the day. It’s so easy to use and is so full of information and ideas for activities for the kids. I could go on about how happy we are at TLE but if you’re not convinced yet that it’s a great place, just call them to set up a tour and check it out yourself. You will love it here - and so will your kid!

We were nervous to try a daycare center moving from a in home daycare but they quickly put our minds at ease. The kids have fun and they learn not only academics but how to be a good friend! The teachers are all so nice and are happy to help in anyway. We highly recommend this center and feel grateful to have our daughter here!

I started sending my 4 year old here after a really difficult experience at another school. After my son started at TLE, his whole demeanor changed. He went from being angry, dismissive, shut down, and sad to a bright and chatty kid. The teachers here truly love to be there and brighten his day by just smiling and caring about him. I absolutely love this school, all of the staff, and recommend it to any and all parents looking for top quality education for their little ones. This school has been the best blessing.
