It was indeed a first day for our son Maxim in your school and we had very pleasant experience! We were friendly met in the morning, and noticed that your team truly tried to make our son comfortable, proposing him different toys and snacks. The fact that we were allowed to come to his class helped a lot to prevent him from stress and crying. In the evening it was also easy procedure to pick him up, and we had a help throughout the process. We also liked your mobile application and the level of details about our son’s day. So big thanks for the great organization of the first day of school. All the best! Alex and Maria

My son started TLE in October of last year and in such a short time I have seen such amazing growth. The staff and teachers are amazing so helpful and loving it feels like one big family. Covid took away a few months and when the center announced they would be reopening it was scary playing out all the pros and cons trying to find the new “normal”. One thing I was certain was that the staff would take all necessary precautions in making sure my son and all the kids are safe. We are so happy with our decision on bringing him back and look forward to all of the summer fun this year for our son. You guys are truly amazing TLE of North Haledon!!!!!

At first my son didn't want to stay being a new experience for him within a few days he was loving it and learning. He would talk to me at home of things he have done during the day. He got to socialize with friends and learn new things. I loved the school and I recommend it alot.

My daughter has been attending here since June of 2019. It was a game changer for her. She had to get adjusted but after that all she would talk about is her Ms Brittany and her friends. Her vocabulary expanded she was much more animated. After I had my other daughter she started attending as well in October at 8 weeks. They made that so easy on me and my little ones eyes always light up the moment she got into class and she was ready to go, everyone here makes you feel so at ease. A year after my first one started here I can’t recommend them enough! I plan on sticking with them until they’re both ready for kindergarten. They’re simply the best!

In the two years that he has been there he has grown both socially and academically. The staff is incredible and go above and beyond for all the kids. They are unbelievably kind and loving! The teachers have prepared our son for Kindergarten with the daily lessons, creative projects, and personal attention they give. The administrative team is extremely experienced and supportive of their teaching staff! They are always available to answer questions or give advice! The facility is spotless and has amazing security measures in place to keep everyone safe. We will miss seeing each and everyone but know that we will always be apart of the TLE family!

The staff is amazing, the center is spotless and there is always a smile on everyone’s face. My 3 year old has grown so much since she started and loves going everyday to see her teachers. The security puts our minds at ease and every member of the staff has been incredible working through these stressful times. If you need a place to leave your child and know they will be cared for like you would care for them, then this is the place!
