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 have been part of the TLE-Fort Collins family for nearly 5 years. My husband and I often say how glad we are that we ended up at TLE because of all of the things that both of our girls have learned and the way that they have developed socially. The teachers at TLE have always made drop-off a... Read more

We enrolled our 2 year old daughter at TLE back in August 2020. This was the first time we had to seek care for our daughter outside of our family and as you can imagine, we were anxious to do so.

Our four year old has been at TLE since she was 18 months old. She has always loved the teachers and they take such good care of our sweet little girl. Thank you, TLE teachers, for the love, care, protection, fun, and the education you provide for all the children of TLE.

My kids have been in childcare since 2 months old, and we had terrible luck with places/childcare people until now. The curriculum that TLE offers is only a bonus to having the most AMAZING staff. I NEVER worry about my kids and if they are being taken care of. The staff is like FAMILY. What my... Read more
