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.

I can’t believe my daughter has already moved from the infant classroom to Toddler B. I truly appreciate the TLE Englewood Cliffs center for maintaining such a safe and clean facility for our child, with well-trained and professional teachers—especially Adriana. :) Her bright, warm smile every morning fills our family with positive energy, making us feel at ease as we leave her at TLE while we head to work. Though I was sad when my daughter moved up and had to say goodbye to Adriana (though it’s nice that we can still see her!), I’m confident that her new teacher will be just as wonderful and amazing. I’m also amazed to see my little one learning new words, singing songs, dancing, and expressing her needs through sign language. It makes me so happy to watch her grow in such a positive environment. We’re incredibly thankful to have TLE nearby.

My toddler has been attending TLE for almost a year now, and she absolutely loves it. She gets excited in the morning when I tell her its time for school! Also, from when she first began to now, her vocabulary has expanded so quickly and she knows how to communicate what she needs or wants pretty well, which makes things much easier for us as parents. She's always happy when I pick her up at the end of the day and looks like she's having fun.

Hello, this is Sarang's parents. The memory of the very first day when we dropped Sarang off at the TLE Infant class in July 2023 is truly unforgettable. Like many parents, both of us work, and we had no choice but to send our baby to daycare. It was a challenge for our entire family because Sarang was only 6 months old. However, our initial worries transformed into a sense do security and ultimately happiness. This positive change is entirely due to the dedicated teachers in the infants class. You not only took care of our baby but also embraced out entire family. We sincerely appreciate your professionalism and warmth. we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have met such exceptional teachers in our lives. While we are confident that teachers in other classes will be great. the teachers in the infant class hold a special place in our hearts. Though it is difficult for us to leave the infant room, we must move forward into the toddler class, as life goes on. We are also learning valuable life lessons through Sarang. Once again, it has been a pleasure to have you be a part of Sarang's life, and hope you all stay healthy. Best regards, Jeremy & Lydia (Sarang's Parents) P.S. Infant staff- Are we still going to meet and see you all every day, right? :)

She started to attend this day care at 6 months old and now that she is almost four years old, we have seen her grow in so many different ways ….she has excelled and has become more open and independent….. we are so impressed with their program. We appreciate all of the teachers and staff so very much !!!

Ms.Jahaira not only provided valuable inside on what to do on the first day at school but was consistent in communicating. She gives us a high degree of confidence my baby is in capable hands.

I have a lot to share about this center. let me start with my proud moment. Proud Moment: my daughter transferred to this center in July. the following January, she was invited to a birthday party with her friends from previous school. She was the only one who able to write her name in full there. :) My favorite about this center: Management & Genuine cares Management knows your needs, feels your pain. They HELP you. They are flexible and put their foot in your shoes. I know some of the teachers there, they enjoy coming to work everyday. The parents that I am close with also had told me how much they appreciate this center. That is what makes everything come together nicely. Unlike other daycare, my kids have the same teachers and friends for whole year.
