Omg where do I begin. I have so much I could say but I’ll make it sweet and short. My kids love TLE and so do I. The experience is like none other. TLE puts forth the effort to ensure kids are safe and also the importance of education is top tier. My kids have learned numerous sign languages and just going to TLE has helped my children become more independent. They help with potty training, enrichment, play time etc. I’m very thankful for the teaches and even more thankful for Ms J She’s awesome

This childcare facility is what every parent dreams of when looking for a place to care for their little one. I have never had worries or a reason not to trust them when it comes to my child. I feel good about dropping her off in the mornings and when I pick her up from there. I cannot say that about previous childcare arrangements that we had! My child clearly dreaded going to her last daycare and would cling onto me crying when it was time to drop her off and was always crying when I picked her up. That was our reason for switching daycares to this one! She now walks into their classroom and greets the other children and staff. She isn’t hesitant to be dropped off and while she is very excited to see me when being picked up, she isn’t distraught. She is a MUCH happier baby overall and is more mild mannered at home than she ever was before we came here. She is communicating with us now and I believe that is because TLE has helped develop her communication skills, leaving her less frustrated. I would highly recommend TLE to any of my friends and family. They are patient, caring, and kind. I cannot say enough good things about them!!! 10/10 stars ⭐️
