My kiddo just moved up to the "Twaddlers" class at TLE and she already tells us daily how much she "REALLY likes her new teachers" (and insists on giving hi and bye hugs to her "old teachers" Ms. Sara, Ms. Paige, Ms. Carla, Ms. Diana, and Ms. Lacey on our way into and out of the building). Seeing how excited she is to see her "teachers and friends!" every day gives me such peace of mind as a parent and I feel so grateful to the staff at TLE-Laf for creating such a wonderful atmosphere for her!

I had to drop a line to say how truly greatful I am. It has been tremendously difficult with my travel schedule and knowing I was missing Kam's last few days there. However the regular pictures and status updates really did do the trick. We are both going to miss all of you but the wonderful year in review book will let Kam have even stronger memories. That book rocked! I can't thank you enough for making learning fun for her!

We were so lucky to get a spot for our 3.5 month old daughter at TLE in Lafayette after moving across the country. It's a great setup with a cozy nursery for the babies and fun play rooms for the older kids. The staff at TLE put me at ease and was so kind and reassuring when I called to check on our baby the first few days. It was so obvious that they really cared for her, and not only Miss Stephanie and Miss Jessica in the infant room, but it seemed all the staff knew her and she got plenty of attention. Our daughter would always have smiles for the teachers on drop off. When we moved out of our temporary rental and to a permanent house, it was too far away from TLE to continue there, and we were so sad. In the short time we were there, they really made us feel like family. They did more than just meet her basic needs - they really seemed to love her, and that put my mind at ease. We miss TLE Lafayette!
