Faith loves Miss Ali, and I love TLE. They taught my daughter how to count to five and I couldn't get her to do it no matter how many times. Definitely will tell others about this place! -Campos Family

I love this place! After a bad experiance at a daycare (cps was called on an employee who picked up my daughter by one arm and screamed in her face) she was fired, but it caused trauma and retaliation against us from the employee) so after finding TLE I couldn't be more greatful. My girl loves the staff, they are caring, and in 2 weeks my daughter learned how to count to 5 which we could not do at home after so many tries. The grounds are beautiful, 5 out of 5 stars.

My daughter is 8 months old and has been going to the school for 3 1/2 months. During this period she has developed so much. I am so impressed with the educational component that TLE offers. Every morning my daughter is happy when I drop her off. When I pick her up it is evident that she has had a great day! I am so thrilled that there is an amazing facility where I feel safe leaving my daughter and I know she is well taken care of. As a first time mom the transition returning to work has been challenging, TLE has truly made it easier for us all!

Both my boys went to TLE and love it. My oldest finished preschool and went to kindergarten already knowing more then he needed to. Now my little one will be going into preschool soon. I know I'm leaving him with people that care and will take excellent care of him.

Both my girls are in love with TLE and their teachers. Soon we'll be graduating Pre-K, and I know we will all be sad to leave TLE. Memories that will last a lifetime are my daughters signing "The Pledge of Allegiance" and singing the theme song loud and proud! TLE for me and you!

My daughter is in the toddler program and loves going to TLE!. My wife and I know that she is in good, loving hands when we leave her with the teachers every morning. Having a safe, nurturing environment for our daughter to stay every day is so important, and we found it at TLE.
