Business Review
"We've been at TLE for 2 years now. I know it's labeled as "daycare", but we're getting a strong pre-school experience.
Our daughter started in the infant class and is now a Twaddler. Her teachers are incredibly supportive, communicate actively, and are incredibly imaginative with curriculum and content. They run a nurturing classroom with firm expectations. The kids are learning letter names/sounds, counting, and numerical thinking. They're also constantly working on gross/fine motor skills, social-emotional skills, and just having fun!
However, what I appreciate the most about the school is what it looks/feels/sounds like when you walk in. The staff from the front to the classrooms to the administration, are all warm and welcoming. They know their kids and are always excited to see them. Even as you're involved with your own child, you can hear their excitement at seeing every child in their exchanges. I really credit Reena and her staff with doing the hard work of creating staff culture and consistency in a tough environment for education.
There are plenty of choices of course, but the intangibles are very hard to win at, and you really need clarity of vision to get them right in this context. Highly recommend TLE at Clifton Ave for families." – Saba B.
