The Learning Experience - Roseland — Local services in Roseland

TLE is a great fit for some, but the 20 kids toddler (16 month old) classroom size & 4 teachers, was too overwhelming for our daughter, who stopped eating and drinking altogether. So we had to un-enroll her. Also had an experience where there were only 2 kids in the class around 7:45am, and 2 teachers. One teacher was holding a crying toddler, yet the other teacher neglected to comfort our daughter who was screaming at her feet, while she continued to talk to the other teacher. She only interacted with her when she saw me looking at her from the side window. This was day 3 of my daughter being enrolled there. Which completely broke my heart seeing this as a first time day-care mom. I spoke to the director and requested a specific teacher be assigned to my daughter because I noticed she was the most nurturing from what I’d seen, but was told they could not honor my request and assign a specific teacher cause they don’t take requests. A few kids had yellow snot running down their noses which also resulted in my daughter having a terrible flu for 2 weeks. Stopping in a couple times during the day we also noticed that her bottle and food was placed on the table and left, and if they dropped or she didn’t eat, there’d be no attempt to ensure she has something in her tummy. So she was always extremely hungry and cranky when we picked her up and drank 2 bottles on the drive home from roseland to Montclair. Our experience was not the greatest, but yours may be different. Eventually, her stopping eating and drinking after a week of being there forced us to remove her & we appreciate miss Tessa understanding and issuing us a...

I have nothing but fabulous things to say about TLE Roseland. My son has been enrolled here for the past 2.5 years, from the time he was 4 months old on. He's received an exceptional education, has built really strong social skills and has become incredibly adaptable - I credit this all to caring teachers here. He's been in 4 different class rooms in his time there, each with a different set of teachers - we've found all of the staff to be incredibly helpful, personable and proactive. I've also felt secure and in the loop on everything he and his class are doing during the day with the updates and pictures in the app. I've found the level of communication to be excellent and seems far beyond what others provide based on the feedback from my mom friends. Next week will unfortunately be his last week at the Roseland location, as we're moving him to the TLE location closer to home in Bloomfield that is now owned by the same franchise partners. It was a very tough decision that we put off making, but it saves us a two hour round trip daily commute and we know that he'll receive the same standard of care and education at the...

We love TLE Roseland. We've been attending TLE Roseland for over 5 years. Our oldest started at 12 weeks and graduated pre-K. He's now in kindergarten at public school and so advanced - his kindergarten teacher is currently teaching letters and starting sight words, which he previously learned at TLE. His kindergarten teacher is currently teaching the numbers - we already learned this two years ago at TLE, along with basic addition. It's amazing the lessons and content they teach - our son would come home with amazing facts about the oceans, planets, animals, and the earth. It's a safe environment and they make learning (and playing) fun. My son would actually get upset at me if I picked him up from "school" early because he was having too much fun playing. Our younger two kids are still in TLE Roseland and we couldn't be happier with our choice of daycare. The staff and teachers truly care. Also, in light of COVID, it has been extremely safe - not one instance of transmission since the beginning, which makes me comfortable to send my...
