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.

We are still very new to TLE family in Wake Forest but I have to say that I am feeling very confident in our decision to enroll our son. I expected an adjustment period for my son with some emotional drop-offs; I am so relieved to say that he has yet to get upset at drop off. He talks about ... Read more
