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.

I can not believe how happy my kid was when I picked him up from Hell’s Kitchen TLE. He was excited to tell me in baby words about his day. He is looking forward to going back, tomorrow! Such a change from other daycares. It a real find!! I highly recommend them.
