When I was searching for a daycare for my son I started when I was still pregnant to make sure that I found somewhere I could trust with my six week old infant when I needed to return to work. I toured TLE when I was eight months pregnant and instantly felt that this was the place for my son. The first day that my son spent at TLE in the Infant A class was stressful for me as it would be for any new mom but when I returned to pick him up his teachers had a picture waiting for me and a summary about what he did for his first day that put me instantly at ease. Throughout my sons time in the Infant A class his teachers were constantly happy, upbeat, and very attentive to all the babies. My son would be sent home with artwork that he made and I would hear about the sensory activities that he was doing and the baby sign language he was learning. I was happy to hear that even thought he was so little, the teachers were interacting with him and teaching him things at such an early age. They even sent me pictures throughout the day of my son to make being away from my little boy a little easier. I could always tell that my son was comfortable with the teachers and genuinely liked them because he was always excited to see them and would get a huge smile on his face when he saw them. As a parent I love that TLE is a place that my son is happy to go to and his teachers are individuals that actually love what they do and it shows through their interaction with the children. I am so happy that I found TLE!

We do not refer to it as a daycare. We refer to it as school smile emoticon. Whenever we drive by Blake says theirs my school in such a happy voice. He loves his friends and teachers as do we. He is not even 3 and he knows his letters, numbers, shapes colors and they even helped potty train him smile emoticon. We love TLE Evon Hernandez When I brought Nicholas to TLE, he was almost 3 and had not socialized with any kids besides his older cousins and older siblings. He was watched by his two grandmas. He struggled a bit but TLE teachers were so caring and loving to him. They always managed to get him to stop crying so I can go to work with no worries. He now looks forward to going to TLE every summer and loves it. My Olivia has been at TLE since she was 8 weeks and acts like she owns the place every morning we come in. She feels like shes home and that gives me and my husband comfort in knowing that. Thanks TLE; we love you guys!

Im not usually one for New Years Resolutions, but this year Im inspired by the amazing teachers at my childrens daycare. They not only care for, teach, and love the kids, they are also cheerleaders for each other and even for parents. Several times per day I see Facebook posts from one teacher to another telling them they are amazing. I over hear compliments about a cute shirt, a new haircut, "your bulletin board turned out awesome", or "youre such a great mom". I see post-it notes of praise or thanks left for others. So my resolution is to compliment freely, show appreciation, and lift people up, like they do for me. Starting with Pam Bliss Rush and her husband Al. Thank you for creating a loving, safe, happy environment, not only for children, but also for your employees. I knew my kids would learn a lot at your school, but I never expected I would learn so much too

Well today is Ellyanas last day at TLE Clarkston - I dont know who is more sad, her or I lol! I remember when I was looking for daycares for her when she was five months old and I had a whole list of places to tour TLE being the first. When I walked into TLE I knew I didnt have to check out any other places, I felt immediately at home and that this is the place she should be. I cant thank all of the teachers and staff enough for making Ellyanas time so special and making me so comfortable dropping her off every day, you have all become our family (️ellyana even calls Pam Nonny!) As a way to say thank you we will be bringing in cake today for everyone so please make sure to eat some and please keep in touch! We will miss everyone and thank you again

I searched for a daycare that had the right "feel" before I went back to work with my second baby. I had selected a competitor daycare initially but was not certain. I just had that feeling in my stomach that it wasnt right for the facilities, to the personalities of the people to the clientele themselves. So I ventured to TLE. I took one walk through from the bright welcoming atmosphere to the caring smiling faces of the teachers and knew we were home. The setup of each room and its curriculum is indicative of the "learning" center you leave your children at each day. As certain as I was from day 1, I am still to this day certain of my choice and thankful every day I found TLE.

This was truly a "Learning Experience". Dont believe what you see. They trade children between classrooms to even out the numbers even though the parents werent asked. They wont follow the state law when it comes to handicapped parking. We were told to sit and wait until the non handicapped drivers moved their cars out of the handicap spots, and we do have a handicap plate. They also cut childrens fingernails with out permission in addition to cutting them with dirty clippers which were so short they bled. The owner said they did it all the time and would continue to do so. Guess what! We are at a different daycare!

Before I had any of my children in a formal daycare setting I was very skeptic, hearing so many stories of children "having" to go to daycare. I grew up in the age where a 2 income household wasnt a necessity, so leaving my children with a stranger was going to be very stressful for me, especially my 12 week old baby. TLE has been beyond a "daycare." It is a home, a family, a school and a place that sometimes my kids rather stay than come home with me! Each and every one of the teachers treats the children as if they were their own. We couldnt be happier at TLE! My kids love going to school at TLE!

We moved from the east coast recently, and were very interested in finding reliable daycare for our three young children. Thank God we found TLE. The management team and staff are just plain awesome. We love them. They are all very pleasant and are a super positive reinforcement for our kids. I love that my kids (6, 3, and 1) are all in such capable, loving hands. The facility is clean and kept in great shape. The kids are of course segmented by age group, which makes those teachers specialists in their. I have no reservations whatsoever recommending them to anyone.

Im so glad we found TLE! I went to a couple other daycares in the area and I was impressed that TLE took me on a tour right away,with no notice. Much cleaner and organized than other daycares. Also I appreciate the curriculum and educational environment starting so young. (Aidan started at 8 weeks old). Education is very important to us and I love that he was taught some signs which we still use. I also love the teachers - and how much my son loves them too. TLE is always accommodating to our schedule and we truly appreciate everything! 5 stars
