The Learning Experience

I've toured several preschools and daycares in the area this summer looking for a program for my 2 1/2 year old daughter. this was by far my worst experience. The director was not friendly or welcoming at all and did not even speak to or introduce herself to my child. She was unable to provide any literature or information on the curriculum that the school uses. She did not know if there was any discounts for teachers (as I am a kindergarten teacher and many other LEs offer educator discounts). The classroom we visited was small and had cheap toys versus sturdy, durable learning materials and manipulatives. There were about 11 children at the time I visited and they were sitting 5 to a table eating lunch with 1 child eating alone at a separate table/desk. The children were not talking to each other nor were the teachers interacting with the children during this time. One teacher was getting mats ready for rest time and the other was writing on a clipboard. Possible parent notes which is acceptable to me to do that during down time of lunch but I would have liked to hear some music in the background or at least 1 of the teachers engaging the children in conversation. When I asked the director why the 1 student was sitting and eating alone, she simply said I don't know. She did not ask the teachers or go any further. I then asked what the discipline policy was and she said positive reinforcement and redirecting. This child clearly looked like he had been in trouble and was sitting by himself as a result. This is unacceptable to me for this age and especially unacceptable if you tell me your discipline philosophy is redirection. None of the staff seemed welcoming, warm or friendly to myself or my child. I would not be able to sleep at night sending my child there.

My son has been at TLE since it opened in 2012. When he first started he was sick often. ( This is common when children are building their immunity) But the staff always took great care of him and always notified my promptly when he needed to be picked up. His teachers have been great and my son loves going to school here. My son has asthma and Miss Mara always takes the time out to give him his treatments when needed. This summer they took the class on field trips and my son had a great time. The center is very clean, and state of the art. they have a fabulous outdoor play area as well as a great indoor area for the kids to play. I feel better about going to work knowing that my son is in the hands of the staff at TLE Lyndhurst.

TLE of Lyndhurst is hands down the best daycare for your child. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The curriculum program L.E.A.P. they use to teach the children is excellent!! The facility is extremely clean. The outside playground area is spacious for the kids to have plenty of room to run and play to release some energy. The facility also has an indoor make believe boulevard where the children can have fun playing if the weather is bad. I highly recommend this daycare to anyone!!!

My son is 3.5 and has been going to TLE since he was 1.5 yrs old. Ms Corinne and ms marra are amazing and listen to all of our concerns. I never have to worry if my son is not getting enough attention or if he's not learning. All the teachers at the center are amazing. I tell everyone to check out TLE.

We've had our son enrolled here since he was 1 1/2 yrs old, he is now 3 1/2. The center is really clean and the teachers are great. The management really listens to the concerns that parents may have and produce results from these concerns. My son gets the attention that he needs for his growth at such a critical learning age. We recommended this center to everyone that we speak to that is looking for daycare for their children!
