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.

My son has been at TLE for a year now. He loves it here. The infant teachers are the best. They really do go above and beyond. When we pull into the parking lot he claps. I know he's in good hands while we are away.
