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.

Thank you Leon, Doreen and the staff. I'm sorry things didn't work out financially for us. I'm at a loss for my little girl. She loved going there. I'm sure she would have thrived.
