I thought I had found a great place for my 3 year old, however, a few months in, I realized what a mistake it had been. My son hated it there and cried terribly when we would drop him off - nearly every day. When we would pick him up, he was often sitting all by himself looking so sad. It broke my heart. None of the "teachers" seemed to care. My husband actually walked in one day earlier than normal to pick him up and witnessed a staff member YELLING at our son in a very non-constructive way. He was furious. Our son is a picky eater, yet he was not allowed to bring his own food to school. He rarely ate anything during the day and would come home famished. I could not believe they would not cater to my sons need for basic nutrition and would rather he starve all day. Also, before enrolling him, we informed Miss Ingrid and her staff that our son had not taken naps since he was about 2 years old. They assured us this was not an issue as they would find something to occupy his time during the lengthy (2 hours!) nap times. We received phone calls at work at least twice a week telling us that our son would not take a nap and was disturbing the other children. I couldnt understand what the problem was... there was a huge staff, yet NONE of them could entertain him since he did not nap?? Ridiculous. The only nice thing they did was the holiday celebrations - Santa came to see the kids, they had frequent parties. But when I asked for copies of pictures that were taken (if I didnt have to work, I would have been there) of my son during these days, no one could ever give me an answer about it. Its the digital age... upload them to your website for parents, for Petes sake. It has been almost a year now since our son left TLC, and he remembers how miserable his time was there. When we pass by the building, he will say "theres my old school, Mom. Miss Ingrid was always mad at me." Seriously! How terrible must it have been for him to STILL talk about it, unprompted???!! I kick myself for ever trusting that I MIGHT get quality child care at a low price. I hope my son isnt traumatized for life. :(

My husband and I were hesitant to send Vinny to a preschool. One of us had always stayed home with him since he was born. Good, quality preschools are hard to find these days. I, myself, am a TLC alumni. I remember my time at TLC such a joy and I wanted our son to experience the magic of TLC that I had as a child. We were so happy when we moved close enough and Vinny was able to start at TLC- and its been such a joy since. In his time spent at TLC, my husband and I both have seen tremendous growth within Vinny. He has thoroughly enjoyed every day, every moment, every hug, every song, every project and more. He comes home talking about all the friends he has made and the awesome teachers he gets to spend time with. TLC has really given him a newfound confidence and friendships. It has been apparent you all teach with love and care. Give yourselves a big hug for that!

What can I say or how can I even Thank you for everything you and your staff have done for us over the best 6 years?!! I was so fortunate to be referred to TLC, my family and I cannot even express how greatful we are for all the care you have given Molly and Arron. For me to be able to go to work and know and have complete confidence that my kids are in a safe, caring environment ( and learning too!) is a feeling I have never taken for granted. You guys are the best! I will always refer anyone I know to TLC and will never forget the positive impact you had on Molly and Arron. TLC made a difference in their lives and helped make them into the awesome kids they are today! Thank you!

As you know Caleb has been coming to school there for about two years. Most of that two years I was a working single mom. I had no choice but to place my son in daycare/preschool. This wasn;t an easy decision to make. Caleb spent most of his early years with Grandma but when he was off and running she couldnt keep up and it off to school. The time passed and he was learning so much and he was so happy. I never once felt uncomfortable when he was in the hands of teachers at TLC. From a Dewdrop to Starbright to Moonbeam, Caleb has grown with you and learned so much there. Made wonderful friends that feel like family. You are all so wonderful.

TLC Preschool was understaffed, unable to handle simple problems, and kicked my son out because he would most days not want to lay down and rest. Apparently they did not have the staff to handle a child wanting to play independently instead of sleep. Did not like that they would force him to lay down and would call me saying there was no one to watch him and that someone had to go to a meeting. Basically this place is good if you have a docile child who follows all rules, and they are probably the cheapest out there.

Words can not express how truly grateful we are. Everyone has been so wonderful to Avery and to us. It is such a comfort in feeling for a parent to know their child is not only being cared for, but taken care of like family. We will never forget all of the kinds words and the “little things” that we’ve appreciated so much. Avery has had such a great experience at TLC and for that we are forever grateful. We will continue sending people your way and we will definitely be back to visit!

Thank you for teaching them both how to listen to adults at all times! You have an amazing school with the most amazing women and teachers anyone could ask for. We will miss you all very much. Thank you.

I never thought our lives would cross again. TLC helped me as a single mom with a 2 & 4 yr old so I could work to support them. Your staff was always friendly & caring. Now here you are again helping me with my grandchildren. It is a good feeling to know you are there for me and the kids. I appreciate all you and your staff does, I dont think there are anymore grandkids but maybe great grand kids hope you are still in business. Thank you.

You have all been such an impacting part of my sons life, as all teachers are, and I thank you all for being so great! The lessons he has learned, care you have shown, and happy times he had here are things hell never forget! In a world where its difficult to leave your child during the day in the care of others, and hope they will love and care for them as you do, I thank god for all of you! Carson will never forget you and neither will I!
