“We believe that early childhood education is a foundational building block upon which children can grow to reach their fullest potential,” said Danielle LaPalla, Center Director of TLE® Freehold. “Through our unique philanthropy curriculum and fun-filled community events that encourage families to give back, our students are learning to apply the basic tenets of philanthropy beyond the classroom, lessons that will stick with them into adulthood.”

With 90 percent of a child’s brain developing within the first 5 years of life, TLE® places a prominent focus on programs that advance scholastic and social preparation, including its one-of-a-kind L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) curriculum and enrichment programs, which have been developed from more than 30 years of experience in the early education industry.

TLE®’s well-rounded approach to early learning has proven to dramatically impact the lives of young children, producing the following results:

· Early literacy programs at TLE® have nearly 95 percent of TLE®’s preschoolers entering Kindergarten already reading.

· Sign language programs for infants and toddlers that have proven to increase a child’s IQ 10 to 12 points higher than a child who didn’t learn to sign at an early age.

· Social programs at TLE® that cover topics such as manners and etiquette (Manners Matter®) that allow students to practice positive decision making and build self-confidence.

· A proprietary philanthropy-focused curriculum at TLE® teaches the core tenets of selflessness, generosity and giving at a young age and encourages children to apply such values in the classroom, at home and in the community. TLE®’s unique philanthropy curriculum is believed to be the only nationwide curriculum of its kind.
