TLE is beyond the best daycare! They take the time to keep things safe and clean. My son Peter is so loved by ever worker not just his teachers. Who by the way take amazing care of him. My son is always so excited to be dropped off there. Even when I pick him up he cries because he doesn’t want to leave. At first that upset me because I thought he would be happier to see me and come home but it’s actually a positive thing. He doesn’t want to leave because he’s so happy at TLE . I wouldn’t want my son taken care of by anyone else but TLE. Everyone is so warm and welcoming.

Once I found this place online it caught my attention, for some reason I felt this was the right place. When I went for a tour, everything about the center was exactly what I was looking for. Everyone was very nice, but most importantly their curriculum. I feel so lucky to find the right place for my kids.

I have been with the TLE of Livingston for the past 5 years. Since enrolling my 1st of 3 children 5 years ago, I have always felt a sense of security leaving my babies at this school. All of the teachers at the center truly care and love each and every one of the children in their class rooms. All 3 of my children look forward to going to "school" and seeing the friends and teachers every day. I now have my oldest entering Kindergarten in just a few weeks and I feel confident that she is more than ready! She has clearly developed the social skills and education needed to make her exceed this coming school year. Thank you to all the teachers for all you do every day to make my children feel at home and loved!

Our daughter Zoe started attending TLE in Livingston at 16 months old. She was enrolled at a home daycare since she was 6 months old but one day we were left without a daycare at short notice. That was a very stressful time to begin the search for a new daycare that would provide excellent care for our girl. From the very first visit to the center in Livingston I was ready to sign her up. As a precaution we took time to search other centers just so we were sure that we weren't making a decision based on emotions or desperation. We immediately came back to sign her up, there was not another place that had all the great qualities that TLE has. The teachers and staff are wonderful. We now have our son Holden attending TLE and we know he is going to grow to have a fun filled experience at the center as well. We are forever grateful and thankful for the caring and loving teachers and staff they both have.
