TLE Edison is a fantastic school (and really prides itself on being a school, more so than a daycare center ). I highly recommend it, and the cost is really not that much higher than other places in the area. Our daughter attended the Toddler class with Ms. Doreen and Ms. Katie (Aug 2015) and then moved into the Twaddler class. Weve since moved, and enrolled our daughter in another TLE, but it is not the same as TLE Edison. This particular school is really the cream of the crop. The owners were there to greet us every day, along with several Academic Directors. The owners/directors have an "all-hands-on-deck" approach, and make an effort to engage/reward/educate their teaching staff (in an effort to keep the teacher turn-over rate low). The teachers are happy, engaged with the kids, and seem to actually enjoy being there (which sounds obvious - but sadly, not always the case, as weve experienced at other places). I believe the teaching staff is happy and productive due to the positive environment created by the management staff. We noticed a change in our daughters behavior almost immediately. She was always happy to attend school, often running down the hallway to her classroom. The teachers constantly engage the kids through song, dance, art, sign-language, foreign-language, reading, circle time, craft projects, computers as they get older. A big benefit is that the academic directors pop in nearly every day to lead a special educational project/science experiment. I really felt like my daughter was learning each day, and not just being watched. We had several parent/teacher conferences while our daughter attended, and they really assessed and focused on her development. Communication is great. The main teachers leave in the early afternoon, but the afternoon teacher assistants were still engaged with the kids and properly trained (again, sadly, not always the case, as we have experienced at other places). The owners also host lots of activities/parties/contests throughout the year. TLE Edison is a gem, might be a little more costly than some other places - I think it was $50 higher than our previous daycare...but take into account all the extra positives and benefits mentioned above (which really do make a difference - we are now on our 3rd daycare/school center, so feel we have some knowledge on mediocre versus great daycare situations).

My child has been enrolled for almost a year across the Twaddlers and Preppers classes. We have had other childcare experiences, and the difference between them and TLE Edison could not be more stark. Instead of being quiet or unhappy when we come home, our child comes home bursting with stories of what took place that day and most days does not want to leave the daycare center. Whether it be art, music, dancing, or yoga, its a new adventure every day for him and his imagination. Our conversations with his teachers have also shown us that the TLE staff is invested in his growth and are truly partners in helping us raise our son. The individual attention we have received allows us to collaborate on determining which learning or behavioral techniques seem to work with the teachers. The management staff have also gone above and beyond on multiple occasions to make us feel like family, making the overall experience even more comfortable. We can honestly go to them with any concerns we may have and feel confident that our issues will be addressed appropriately without making us feel like we are overbearing parents. As our child continues to progress and show growth, we have all the confidence in the world that TLE Edison will continue to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for our son. We have also already committed to placing our newborn baby into the Infants class and look forward to seeing her make new friends at TLE Edison! I would definitely recommend the school to anyone interested in having the best care possible for their children (outside of grandma, of course!). Delete review

We have been very happy at TLE Edison over the past year. We chose TLE after visiting 6 other preschools. The owners, Manny and Shae, are the most dedicated and hands-on people you will ever meet. They made us feel comfortable that they were always making decisions in the best interests of the children. Their positive attitude is infectious. The staff always greets you with a smile and calls you by your name. They are open to new ideas and always seem to promote growth within their company. We liked TLE because of the balance between education and play. They have a great curriculum that includes world languages, but they also have an amazing indoor play area. Other schools didnt have this, and given the big snow storm we recently had, Im really happy that the children have a fun place to play when they cant go outside. The building layout was designed perfectly as a preschool, rather than being thrown into an existing structure. It is also extremely clean. We have experienced the summer camp as well as the toddler and preschool programs. The camp was so much fun -- splash days, guest presenters, live animal presentations, even a pony ride. The school programs are always led by well-trained, caring, happy, and energetic teachers who made us feel very comfortable leaving our child with them. My wife and I spend a lot of time (some would say obsessive) researching decisions like this. If we had it to do all over again, we would still choose TLE Edison.

The Learning Experience in Edison is the best daycare center in the area. The owners, management and teachers/staff are very friendly, warm and understanding, all on the same page (their communication with each other is impeccable), and have an amazing curriculum for early learning. When I first researched all of the daycare centers in the area for my 14 month old son, The Learning Experience in Edison stuck out and was by far the cleanest, most organized, and accommodating school I visited. Their curriculum was impressive, and exposed my son to academic learning early on, which I appreciated. Hes now just turned 5 and I am continually impressed with how much he learns. I am a firm believer in cultivating childrens education so long as they are interested, and theyre like sponges in the first five years of their lives. My daughter has also started going to the school this past year around the same age and they both thoroughly enjoy going to school every day; they often dont want to leave when I pick them up at the end of the day. The owners and management have a passion for continually improving the school and in providing the best program out there, so I appreciate that they stay up-to-date with the latest trends in education to offer it to the children. Both my children are very different in personality, yet they both love the school, and my husband and I are very happy with them.

My son has been going to this school since he was 6 months old and he will graduate from preschool in June. My wife and I have been very impressed with the level of education he has received and feel confident that he is prepared for kindergarten. He always seems to have a great time there and some days he doesnt even want to leave. This is a franchise so the owners are always at the facility. This is helpful when you have questions or concerns as they are available most of the time. The administrators and teachers are very active in providing educational and extra curricular activities for the children. They are always looking to add new things or improve things they currently provide. Examples of this would include a trunk or treat and costume parade/party at Halloween, Christmas pageant, installing a grass area outside for the kids to play sports on, and expanding(added space upstairs) the school to allow for more rooms and to accommodate more children. If there was one negative I see it is the amount of turnover that sometimes occurs with the staff but I think that may be common at daycares in general. We also send our son to the summer camp which keeps him entertained all summer long for a reasonable price.
