TLE is the best thing we could have done for our daughter. Within the first year of parenthood, we had been to 4 different locations seeking the highest quality care. We have gone to two different TLE locations and I can confidently say that Sarah, Brandon, and their staff here in the Thornton location are all wonderful! The curriculum follows the L.E.A.P. program that gives the children everything they need to know and helps them advance in such a fun way. I highly recommend TLE Thornton!
