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've been very happy since enrolling our kids at TLE. The pre-k program has been great and the center has been so reliable and caring towards our family. I appreciate the communication through the app and the administrators get to know each family.

We are so lucky to have found TLE Fish Hawk! We did a virtual tour with Jadyn as we were across the state and moving and finding quality childcare where my children would thrive was so important to us, so we started our search early. It was clear from our tour that this was the right place for our family. Our children have absolutely thrived since the beginning, and I have felt so comfortable knowing my children are safe and loved while in their care. Their teachers truly love what they do and love their children. I absolutely love getting multiple pictures and updates daily through the app and truly appreciate the teachers updating me as often as they can. We love all of our teachers and front desk staff! Ms. Amie, Ms. Tiffany, Ms. Jocelyn, Ms. Lady, and Ms. Juliana, thank you so much for all you do each and every day loving our littles!
