This negative review is long over due. We joined TLE in 2021 and watched this center spiral when…read morethe owners wife left as Director. In a matter of 3 years they have gone through 4 directors, and weekly staff changes. There is clearly a disconnect between the owner, management and staff that has affected the center tremendously. Of all the terrible things we have endured, the most recent was my daughter being taken out on a stretcher due to negligence. Another child brought peanut m&ms into what is said to be a nut free facility. Apparently all the teachers missed this and when they realized my daughter was having an allergic reaction they simply had her waiting for us in the lobby. No one thought to administer the epipen despite calling us several times stating they feared something serious was happening. The heart ache we felt this day is truly traumatizing. The worst part is, the director never bothered to call or check in the following day. Two weeks prior my other child left with an unreported head bruise & management lied on the incident report (which I got days later). Then the new assistant director Emily had the audacity to gossip with another staff member while I was standing right there because I refused to sign the incident report, rightfully so. You will NOT get daily updates on your child as promised. Your child will most likely be fed someone else's food even if you put a million labels on it. My daughter was given a formula bottle when she was fully breast fed ( I have photos to prove). New staff every single day and they recycle crappy staff members when all the new ones quit. Management is terrible. Extremely unprofessional, no genuine interest in your child's wellbeing. Staff is underpaid and openly express to parents how much they hate it there. No committed teachers (with the exception of a few), no control in the classrooms, no sense of family. Horrible place that we put up with for nearly 3 years.

I have seen so much progress with the children there. My client is 2.5 yrs old, so I am around 2-3 yr old children. I see them learning Spanish, the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, days of the week, months of the year, and SO MUCH more. At other places I have seen 5 yr old children not being able to identify numbers and letters meanwhile at TLE the know it not only in English but Spanish as well! The teachers there care about all of the kids in their classroom. They are patient, they make sure each child is actually learning and they celebrate all of their small achievements which is so important to developing children. At TLE they have always provided the accommodations needed for me and my client's needs. They treat every child there with love and respect, including the special needs children. In the past I have experienced issues at other daycares where my other client was not wanted in group activities and was not treated the same as the other kids. But that is NOT the case at the TLE-NB. The Learning Experience - North Brunswick is truly a great place for children to learn!

When I first enrolled my girls here they were young. My oldest started at 17 months & my 2nd around…read more18 months. Everything started well, & I mean my oldest graduated from here. But during the time she was at TLE (her final year) my older daughter came to me expressing one of the staff members here grabbed & squeezed her arm. I immediately told staff up front, Leah & Sheetal, whom said they would follow the protocol to investigate the allegation. They then claimed they contacted the state. They said no other children (they interviewed 3 kids, all boys - but all the victims we know for sure by their mothers, were girls) & they all said they were never squeezed. One child interviewed is also the GRANDCHILD to the owner of this TLE. So they kind of brushed it under as if my child was making it up & then I thought maybe it's possible my daughter was confused - months later we attended a gathering with other children who graduated with my eldest. During that get together another mom (whose daughter graduated with my daughter) asked how TLE was "going?" I explained what happened & the mother informed me the same teacher did something similar to her child & they asked her if she wanted them to contact the state (the mother declined thinking that again, maybe the child got confused). Short while after, my oldest was there & she witnessed this same teacher grab another little girls arm. This time I called CPS, who informed me they don't come out to investigate I needed to make a police report, but since my daughter was not the victim it's really up to that mother. Ok? I went back to TLE with the complaints letting them know this is the 3rd time, I myself am aware that this teacher has grabbed 3 girls by their arms. I told Leah (the director) how the CPS worker explained I needed to make a police report first. I got so upset because when it happened to my child, no one said to call the police & TLE did NOT. Hours later, after me yelling in the lobby how this teacher still works around children & she needs to be let go, Leah called me telling me that my younger daughter could NOT RETURN until after the police investigate - I asked Leah what investigation? The police aren't contacted since it was not my child THIS TIME. I told her to email me & put it in writing that my youngest daughter would not be allowed back there & she REFUSED to do so. I pulled my youngest daughter out that same day, informed them they allowed a teacher to grab girls & squeeze their arms & they did nothing about it. If they weren't going to investigate I should've called the police when my daughter reported it but they tried to cover it up. The other mother made the complaint before I did, so when they said no other parent came to them about this teacher before, they lied, & by they - I mean Leah & Sheetal. They were willing to let this teacher work around children. I went to North Brunswick Police department & they were confused because they never had the report from TLE for my child & when I came to them (since Leah mentioned I needed to wait to return my child from this "investigation") there was no investigation because by then many months already passed, almost a full year. The police took my statement & by then I ended my contact with them. They lie to pretend they will protect your children & they don't, the cameras do not record & they should really be shut down if they're willing to hide abuse. Also upon reviewing these other reviews one of them is from a staff member so I am sure the other reviews are from family and or staff. Be aware - Ann Conti is from Ms Annie who works in the preschool classroom - came back to add for the response here that I received from TLE ; there is no reason to reach out to your company because you are already aware of how you handled this situation. You did not allow my daughter to return because I advised the North Brunswick Police Department of the abuse you were hiding from this said teacher (who I know now has been terminated and not allowed to work with children any more) but for your response to this review is truly disgusting and unacceptable as if it was not addressed in your lobby. Not only that I came back to my review because the other parent whose daughter this happened to brought to my attention that ANOTHER staff member is writing reviews! Do NOT believe the reviews here because they are staff members trying to save their job location from being shut down. Also Leah the director is supposedly leaving the location - she probably doesn't want to show face to new prospective parents with the embarrassment of not protecting my children.
