I can’t say enough great things about this place. It’s AMAZING! The staff there are so kind and energetic and always such a pleasure to deal with. My daughter has so much fun there and is always learning new things. The outdoor playground is also a huge bonus! They always keep us updated through clear communication in the app and her teachers also give me a little verbal update on how her day was whenever I pick her up. Her last daycare she used to cry every day upon arrival and pick up. She does have her off days but for the most part she’s excited when she walks into the classroom. We are so blessed to have found TLE and look forward to watching our daughter learn more with them!
