Happy Little Learners

From Infant through preschool, we make early education and daycare joyful, engaging and fun so children are happy to learn, play and grow.
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.

TLE is awesome! Since the first visit there they have treated my Child like a Queen! Every teacher knows her by name and she loves going. Every morning she walks right in like she knows that's her second home. She's 19 months and has been there since 6months old.
