3months in TLE! Our family is loving it! -They send updates for most activities with photos! -The kids seem to be having fun from the pictures. -The location is colorful and not gloomy (yes I’ve seen those gloomy dull ones that don’t appeal to the kids) -The teachers communicate well on any updates they want to share directly! - The pickup/drop-off timings are flexible. - Can’t comment much on food since mine’s a picky eater. I didn’t have a good experience with another daycare previously which resulted in is getting a nanny for over an year. But TLE turned out to be great for us to transition our daughter back to daycare setting!

We have been nothing but pleased with TLE Leander. The staff have been phenomenal, communicative, and have helped immediately with any issue we have had. We really appreciate the flexibility with scheduling while still maintaining consistent care. Most importantly, our child appears to enjoy each day (as seen in regular photo updates), and the teachers and aides share the growth and learning with us.

We appreciate the transparency TLE provides in their communication and how friendly and caring they are with our baby girl. We are moving 30 minutes away soon but still plan to keep our daughter with TLE-Leander.

The place is bright, warm, and welcoming in all areas – from the paint and décor to the staff. I really love how they use characters to teach kids different things. Bubbles the elephant is the main character, and my daughter really likes Flex the Flamingo that teaches exercise and Lionstein who teaches science. They also do different monthly events like a Halloween trunk or treat event that my daughter absolutely loved. She even got a picture with the Leander fire department dog character. My twin boys are happy too. TLE made me feel ok about moving to Leander. I feel comfortable knowing my kids are spending their day with excellent caretakers. They are safe, they are learning, and they are making friends. Bottom Line: Tour the place. Everyone is super nice, and my family is happy. My kids are learning and safe.

As a family we were hesitant about moving our youngest son into a formal childcare environment after being with an amazing in-home care giver. But the staff at TLE- Leander have been really great and feel like an extension of our family. I love the pace in which my son is learning and the integration of other languages in his curriculum. As a parent that pays attention to detail, I am also grateful that anything discussed with staff is immediately addressed and communicated. Would recommend this location to any family looking for quality and an educationally enriched childcare center.
