My son started attending TLE Edison at 18 months old in the Toddler Program. I am happy and…read moregrateful, we found such an amazing learning center for him. Since he started, he has improved in his social skills, sensory ability, eating, and environmental change. Seeing him thrive is the greatest happiness in my life and having such wonder teachers and directors to help him achieve it. He loves all his teachers and all the engaging activities. He especially loves Ms. Asha, Director. I can't express how grateful I am to Ms. Asha for all her support as FTM and the transition into the school. She was definitely the reason why I decided to enroll my son to TLE Edison. As the pandemic continues, it was very important for me to know my son is in safe environment. The owners Shae and Manny ensure the health and safety is their #1 priority to my son, the children, and staff. They are dedicated and invested in TLE, I see them working hard everyday for the staff and children. I recommend TLE Edison to all my mom friends at my local park or anyone if you are looking for your baby to thrive and prosper in safe and nurturing center. TLE Edison is the place for you!

After being there for almost 4 years (age 2-6) and hearing about other daycares in town, we can say it was the best option for us and our daughter. A few highlights based on our experience: - Best hours with flexible schedule offerings (12 hours day, half days, partial weeks) - Fair pricing with no nickel and dining for extra hours, monthly fees, etc. Being independent allows them to avoid additional overhead of the franchise daycare options. - Incredible staff with little turnover, which is a big issue at many places - Caring owners with great attitudes and always reinvesting in the facility - Outstanding full-day kindergarten program (with included before and after care hours), led by Miss Kerri. Kids leave this program well prepared for 1st grade. - Perfect location downtown with plenty of parking and allows us to be close to everything (restaurants, dance, taekwondo, train station, etc.) We highly recommend you pay them a visit and seriously consider them for your child

So it started badly, as on the way in, I got yelled at profusely, and I mean really yelled at, by some old man telling me I was driving the wrong way through the parking lot - and he stood in my way to yell at me too. It wasn't well marked and was banal as nobody else was driving in the lot. Then when I got on with my cardio, the TV was staticky, and while the gym had some decent stuff and some fit-looking members, I have to say these are not great facilities and the space is a little cramped. They offer no towels, no hairdryer, and in general, not one of the best I've used. I'd give it a 4 if not for the fact that the TV, lack of towels, parking issues, and especially getting yelled at, all made me not enjoy my workout much.

The practice continued and did not follow normal hygiene practices, nor was anything enforced, ever. Covid comes, and enrolled patrons are notified that they can suspend membership until a specific date, and if not (suspended membership), it will automatically be re-enabled and charged unless notified. No ongoing communication has occurred since then, and only verbal information is/was provided. As of July 1st, no resumption of gym facilities yet they steal money from my on file credit card making an assumption that they may soon be able to open, and placing the burden of me having to keep extending my requested suspension. I'll assume I'm not going back as I'll be at risk, and because of their lackluster previous inabilities, I'm certain they may never return to normal. One might think that they would contact persons to ask if they minded them to have their funds stolen.

We have nothing but amazing memories from this school, and I will truly miss it now that he has aged out. All staff is hands on and they really get to know your child. When I say all staff, I mean even teachers and co-teachers from other classrooms knew my son by name and recognized his father and I as well. I could go up to any teacher or office personnel and ask them about my son and they would have a lot to say; the school feels like it's own nurturing community, with the children's wellbeing always at the forefront. I never had any doubts as to my son's safety at this school, and to go the extra mile where safety is concerned, they offer camera access to your child's classroom and the doors can only be opened by approved personnel and parents. The learning environment is both nurturing and effective. My son was able to begin reading and writing by the end of pre-k! The classroom is set up so that the children can go their own pace and the teachers monitor them and gently push them when necessary. They have what is called the "family style" classroom which allows the younger children to look up to and learn from older children, and allows the older children to feel a sense of accomplishment and responsibility as well as leadership. My son is an only child so having older children guide him when he was little and then being able to be the leader when he was in Kindergarten was so rewarding in ways that went beyond the classroom. I adore all of the staff and teachers there. For his pre-k years he was with Ms. Kenny who is no longer there but really did a great job with setting his foundation for learning. For kinder year he went to Mrs. Mohan's class, and she and her co-teachers really made sure to make the transition as smooth as possible for him. They also made sure to keep him on target for his kindergarten goals, as did Mrs. Shetty, his reading group teacher. Mrs. Castillo and Mrs. Caraballo (from the office) are always there with a friendly smile and happy to help with any questions or concerns. There are also surveys that are sent out a few times a year so that they can receive feedback to continue improving. I do surveys for businesses often and usually it takes years to see changes, if you see them at all, but each year Apple expanded their offerings and really seemed to take in the feedback with grace, acceptance, and action. Recently they added after school offerings like Karate and Zumba. As a working parent it was nice to know my child had something to look forward to in after care some days. There is also an all new outdoor classroom/playground set up. Apple was a little more costly than some of the other pre-k schools we looked at, but I feel we really got what we paid for, our son has shown so much growth and development and we know he was well taken care of there. We loved it so much, we decided to stay for Kindergarten year which was not in our original plans but we found it was worth every penny!

I saw this one and another close by, so I had my mother visit before I moved up. This was my mother's choice and when I talked to the owner, this was my choice as well. The owner, Ms. Cheryl, made me feel so welcome and I just knew she would take care of my son like her own. You could feel the love oozing out of her. She's also a mother and knows what mothers feel. She's done a great job of keeping me abreast of the daily activities the kids' are doing and what they're learning. Over the past year, I've seen her bend over backwards for these little kids and even the parents at times. My son can now count beyond measures, write his name and is reading a few words. He's made some great friends and loves his teachers. It's tucked away from the road and attached to a church. This also made me feel good because it's enclosed and the kids have their own gated play area. If you want to feel the love and know your kid(s) are being nurtured, being them here.

She also became a great support and friend to us as their foster parents. Miss Cheryl works hard to create a warm and welcoming daycare where every child is valued and loved.

The center is unique because of its hospital affiliation providing high quality training to the educators and nurturing care to all children. It is also NAEYC accredited. The center is open all year round except for major holidays and provides before and after care programs. Each classroom has certified teachers and aids who provide exceptional care from infancy to kindergarten and offer camp in the summer. Currently, two of my children are enrolled in the child care center and this past June my oldest graduated from kindergarten. My youngest is currently enrolled in the infant classroom. The supervising teacher Debi ( baby whisperer) and all her staff are AMAZING and help foster a nurturing, loving and safe environment for my baby. When my baby started daycare she would not sleep in a crib at home and only slept in a recliner, Debi and her staff transitioned her to sleep in a crib in ONE week. I can't thank them enough! The child center also helped facilitate toilet training with my first and second children, I couldn't do it without their help. The child center also offers recreational activities such as ballet,hip hop dance, soccer, tennis, computers and swimming which my girls enjoyed very much. They also go on field trips to an apple orchard, Liberty Science Center, and to see a Play. The facility is very clean and safe and the office staff ( Helen, Marie, Anna, Anitha and director/principle Dr. Avonia Richardson-Miller) are always so helpful and pleasant and have always adressed any concerns I had. The kindergarten program is one -of-a-kind, the teacher Miss Erin is amazing!!! She is so passionate about teaching and she engages her students, making learning enjoyable and fun.
