My 4.5-year-old child has been attending TLE located in Bothell for over 2.5 years. What I have noticed is that the staff here is incredibly caring, patient, and attentive to the needs of each child. They have a wonderful educational program that has helped my child develop essential skills while making learning fun and engaging. They have introduced the L.E.A.P program (in pre-kindergarten), which I am sure will help my child with needed knowledge, tools and a smooth transition into Kindergarten. The program includes L.E.A.P books, with an emphasis on developing the child's reading, writing and math skills. She brings home workbooks and we both rework on the work she did at school, this is undoubtedly my favorite home mentoring time. All I can say is that we couldn't be happier with our experience with TLE to date.
The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children. I have noticed significant improvements in my child's social skills, confidence, and overall development since joining TLE.
One thing that particularly stands out is the open communication between the staff and parents. They keep us informed about our child's progress and address any concerns promptly. Some of the emails they shared during COVID was a classic example of professionalism and transparency the management brings to their approach.
I highly recommend TLE to any parent seeking a high-quality daycare center with a dedicated and professional team. They truly make the well-being and growth of each child their top priority.
TLE has been a great child care institution for our kid. We are amazed to see the compassion and dedication the staff has towards the kids, their activities and curriculum. The staff here at TLE is absolutely great. Regular TLE updates via emails, greetings on arrival and departure with happy smile for kids and parents, responsiveness to queries, meaningful insights from the interactions with the office or class teachers, discussing and helping kids on the specific requests or points are some of the natural characteristics of staff here at TLE Mill creek.
The premises is very clean, the classroom has everything the kids need for their day to day activities, like.. toys, learning materials, arts (you would be tired in collecting them), music, multi-language reading etc.
The only thing I felt can be improved from better to best is food. Kids are served precooked food and evening snacks are very light after lunch at 11:30 or noon, so if kids are leaving the school at the end of the day, they would be super hungry. They would happily give multiple servings in the lunch or the evening snack if a kid requests so, but i guess that’s a rare scenario for any kid.
When we first started our search for the perfect preschool for our son, we were looking for a place that would not only care for him but also foster his growth and development. After two years at TLE, we are confident to say that we made the right choice.
Environment: From the moment we walk in, we are greeted by the warm and welcoming environment that the staff at TLE have created. The classrooms are bright, clean, and filled with a variety of educational toys and materials that have kept our son engaged and excited to learn.
Staff: One of the standout features of TLE is the dedication of the staff. Each teacher and caregiver have shown a genuine interest in our son's well-being and progress. They are not only attentive and nurturing but also incredibly patient and understanding. We have seen a remarkable improvement in our son's social skills, and we attribute much of this to the positive interactions he has at daycare.
Curriculum: The curriculum at TLE is thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of young children. Our son has been exposed to a wide range of activities, from arts and crafts to basic literacy and numeracy skills. We've been particularly impressed with how the curriculum is adapted to each child's learning pace, ensuring that our son remains challenged but not overwhelmed. Communication: Communication with the staff has been seamless. We receive regular updates about our son's day, including his achievements and areas where he may need additional support.
Safety and Hygiene: The safety and hygiene practices at TLE have always been top-notch. Especially in light of recent events, the staff has gone above and beyond to ensure that all health guidelines are followed, giving us peace of mind that our son is in a safe and clean environment.
Meal Options: However, we do have one area of concern: the lunch and snack options provided. While we appreciate the convenience of provided meals, we've noticed that the lunches are frozen, and the snacks are not as filling or nutritious as we would like for growing children. We believe that fresh meal options and more substantial snacks would greatly enhance the daycare experience and provide the children with the energy they need for their busy days.
Overall Experience: Our overall experience with TLE has been extremely positive. We have watched our son thrive in an environment that is both nurturing and stimulating. We are grateful to the staff for their hard work and dedication, and we would highly recommend TLE to any parent looking for quality childcare.
