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.

Applauding Somerset TLE. My son is in the pre-k class and this morning while playing with his animals he was saying what they are in Spanish. I was shocked how he picked it up so quickly. He told me he loves learning Spanish in class. Well done teachers!
