TLE is a great place for the kids and it is the BEST place in Edison, NJ area. The teachers are great & they keep kids involved with so many activities. Our daughter is so excited to go everyday. They have a very nice summer program. I highly recommend this place for kids from 6 months old.

My daughter has been enrolled at TLE Edison since January 2011 when she was 4 1/2 months old and my husband and I have been very impressed with TLE Edison. It is not your typical daycare. The teachers and owners treat her like their own child. It is a true learning academy as my daughter has learned not only the value of charity, sharing, and caring, but also how to write her name, her numbers up to 30, Mandarin, Spanish, and is beginning to read. We were very impressed when she learned sign language at 4 1/2 months old and was able to communicate to us that she was hungry through singing; and she continues to expand her sign language vocabulary to this day.

They also have a fantastic summer camp where my daughter is learning how to swim, takes Tae Kwon Do lessons and was introduced to Yoga last summer and now does it consistently every Monday afternoon. It is no surprise that when kids leave TLE Edison they are miles ahead of students.

Our daughter Dominique has been with TLE Edison since she was months old and I have been very impressed and ecstatic with the TLE Edison. It is not your typical daycare. The teachers and owner treat her like their own children. It is a true learning academy as my daughter has learned not lonely the value of charity, sharing, and caring, but also how to write her name, her numbers up to 30, Mandarin, Spanish, and is beginning to read.

My daughter has been at the center for over 4 years now, and my son almost 5 months (he is only 8 months old). She already knows sign language, some English and Spanish and is now learning Mandarin. This is the only day care center that goes above and beyond with safety precautions for the children and only employs experienced teachers and staff (no college teenage girls). My daughter absolutely loves school and my 8 month old gets so excited when he sees the window of his classroom!! and we have had no complaints at all, and I am a severely overprotective mom! Most of the teachers hold a bachelors degree or higher and undergo background checks. This is the only center in the entire Edison area that has such requirements for the teachers. They are actual teachers! We love you TLE Edison for all the great care you have provided for our baby and for being so supportive of us as parents!! You are now our personal friends.

We have been a part of TLE @ Edison since they day they opened their doors in 2009. My three children enjoy every moment they spend at school. The curriculum is detailed and engaging. With the addition of the health/sports activities, it rounds the school program nicely. Their teachers are very well qualified and experienced. Our oldest is in the K+ program, specially created for children who do not qualify for 1st grade because of the age cut off. Ms. Olivia and Ms. Bianca are the teachers of the class. With their dedication, our daughter has progressed in her reading and writing skills wherein now she is beyond ready for 1st grade this coming school year. We are very thankful for their hard work and commitment. We would highly recommend TLE @ Edison to any parent.

Our son started in the Infant A room and now is in the Kindergarten class. He has loved his time here. As parents, we love that it is a very caring and loving environment for him, but also that it is a tremendous learning environment as well. He was learning sign language before he could speak. He has been learning Spanish and Mandarin. His math, spelling and reading skills amaze me. He gets plenty of physical fitness and time for crafts. His mind is constantly stimulated. The teachers are amazing. The Owners and Front End staff are friendly and always available to address any concerns. If you are looking, take a tour here. You won't be disappointed.

Our daughter has been at TLE Edison for almost 4 years and we would absolutely recommend this child care to others. The owners are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards. We especially appreciate the warm caring environment where she can be safe, learn, and have fun!

Absolutely love this facility. Every one of the staff is friendly and honestly make us feel they have the foundation of learning building blocks for our 4 year old daughter at the top of their priority. The Facility is always so Colorful and clean, and at the top of the technology curve. We fell in love with the place when we 1st toured it, gave us that special feeling, (though we couldn't afford it when our daughter was a infant we still continued to recommend them) Then we had a couple incidences at another provider, and realized that convenience and financial savings were not worth the future of our daughter. Even she thanks us for switching schools and absolutely loves it now, says she knows we love her because we are sending her here now. Couldn't be happier with the strides in learning growth our daughter has taken in the time at TLE. I would definitely continue to recommend any and everyone to take the time to tour and go here, the difference is night and day as they sit head and shoulders above the rest in this department. As well their Security makes us feel safe leaving our child in their hands each and every day. Thank You Miss Bianca, and TLE.

We looked at MANY day cares before choosing TLE Edison and this is THE best day care in this area. Hands down. I remember walking through another day care nearby and getting a different vibe that was NOT as warm and genuine as TLE Edison. The summer program is excellent. The enrichment program is second to none. They teach Spanish and Mandarin. But the true test is the love my child has for the teachers here. She never even wants to leave! I'm so happy with our choice and you will be, too.

There is always something since she moveed to next class it was horrible experience ... they have been missing the feedings of my little baby, tehy don't follow what you say, try to feed you baby other baby's bottle? Yes that's true... back to back other issues as well ... they have 1 to 4 ratio but the teachers are unable to maintain that ratio ... they can't handle 4 babies at a time ... my prob is my baby is small and If I switch to another daycare she might be crying all day and might not be eating... else I was seriously thinking to enroll her in some other daycare... but I got stuck here now ... I would suggest to do thorough research talk t o other parents before you enroll your love here...
