While the experience started out great with a teacher who has since departed, a very high level of staff turnover eventually led to serious issues with classroom continuity and oversight. Their classes are filled to the brim with the maximum number of children permitted by law, regardless of what the high tuition cost, local management team, and flashy marketing materials lead you to believe. The result is that if your child doesn't fit some perfect "model" of theirs in terms of self-direction or progression or whatever else, they find ways to expel them from the school rather than support or reasonably accommodate them. This is not a school that nurtures and supports all children, only certain specific types of "low effort" children.
Because of this, diversity (of many types) in their enrollment appears to be lacking quite severely. Further, the turnover (expulsion, etc.) and incident report rates for diverse students and students of color are seemingly well above the normal levels of all other students comparatively. Certain types of students are routinely expelled for reported minor developmental or "behavioral" issues while other certain ones with similar issues remain enrolled to this day. They will not support nor reasonably accommodate certain types of children having anything even resembling a minor special need, such as a speech impediment, attention deficit, or physical condition. Instead, TLE management at this location will merely tell you that your child is "too much effort" for them "given the classroom composition and its large size" then refer you to state services who offer little to nothing of value for the child. After which they callously move onto the next child on their waiting list (created by limited options in the region for preschool), completely disregarding any impact to your own child caused by the disruption in their education.
TLE will, though, gladly collect some of the highest (and fastest increasing) tuition in the entire region while doing the absolute bare minimum to support their overworked and underpaid teaching staff. They purposely overload classrooms and teaching staff to maximize revenue then blame any disruptions caused by the resulting lack of oversight and personal interaction on certain types of children who need just a modicum more attention to thrive.
To summarize, children that do not fit their very specific "model" are routinely pushed out as TLE management evidently cares far, far more about extracting the maximum amount of tuition with the least amount of effort rather than supporting the development and education of all children first and foremost. Whether or not this is performed by TLE as part of some implicit or explicit directive or bias emanating from corporate or local management, it nevertheless directly impacts diverse students and their families the most. read more
