My son has been attending TLC Learning Center for a while now, and I've seen such amazing growth in him since he started. They recently moved to their new facility, and the upgrade is incredible - much more of a true school-based environment, clean, organized, and very welcoming.

The staff is excellent. They really care about the kids, keep great communication with the parents, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into creating a safe and structured learning space.

I would definitely recommend TLC Learning Center to any family looking for a great daycare or pre-K option in the area. It has been a wonderful experience for us.

I’ve been working at TLC for over 2 years now, and it has been such a positive working experience for me. My favorite thing about TLC is how much of a tight-knit community we are able to create and strengthen between the staff, the children, and their families. I love all of the special events and activities that we get to have for our children. TLC is a great place for children to learn, grow, and make new friends <3

Our time at TLC was amazing! The staff were super friendly and we felt our son got ready for Kindergarten. Administration is the best! They are so nice and very easy to talk to and professional. We would highly recommend TLC to everyone.

We're looking for a daycare that checks our basic criteria for our 3 year old here in Dumont. TLC have them all!

1. Caring admin and staff - our little one is always happy and excited to come at TLC.

2. 1 level facility - we were skeptical for risk of falling in the stairs and TLC does not have that risk. They have a huge play area for kids to play indoor and outdoor (all season).

3. Amazing friends - kiddo is very pleased with his friends / classmates and he talks about them a lot when he gets home.

As parents, we were somehow got assurance from our child's behavior and outlook that he's being taken good care of at TLC.

My son loves it here. Couldn't have wished for a better place to send him. All he does is talk about school while home on the weekends...

Watching Stefen grow in confidence, learn new things, and come home smiling every day has meant the world to our family. It's clear that the staff truly care about every child and treat them like their own. We are so thankful for the attention, encouragement, and support they have given him. Thank you

Working at Together Learning Center has been unlike any experience I’ve had in my years in childcare. Having worked in

and toured many different centers, I have never encountered a community so genuinely connected, supportive, and grounded in love.

From day one, TLC feels like an extended family where everyone (our teachers, families, children, and me) truly feels valued, loved, and heard. There is always a helping hand ready whenever you need it, creating an atmosphere of trust and total teamwork.

One of my absolute favorite parts of being here is watching the children grow, form deep friendships, and make memories that will last a lifetime. TLC isn't just a learning center; it’s a tight-knit community where everyone belongs, and I am so grateful to be a part of it.

My two older boys went to daycare and preschool at a school I was working at, so they were in the same building as me. I now no longer work in the daycare industry, so this was no longer an option for me. Sending my third child to a preschool at 2.5 at TLC has been nothing but a dream. I have no worried one bit how he was being cared for and if he was happy, because the staff are so wonderful; communicative, caring & knowledgeable. My son has come home so happy, well cared for and wanting to go back! I couldn't ask for a better place to send my "baby."

TLC teachers and staff are amazing. They genuinely care for every child and I know he is safe there. My son has learned so much while at TLC and enjoys going every day. The different activities are so creative and he has the opportunity to take enrichment classes while at school. He has made some great friendships with classmates as well. I highly recommend TLC.

The Together Learning Cetner has felt like a true home away from home for our son. Through his time spent with the wonderful staff, he has demonstrated marked improvement in so many ways, most specifically in the way he interacts with the world. It's a relief to know he's taken care of so well, and that he is a part of a community that has fostered so many friendships for him. Thank you, TLC team!!!

My oldest graduated from TLC and my daughter currently goes here, we have been a part of the TLC family for over 3 years now and love it. The staff and teachers are all so kind, respectful and communicate well. In the new space there is so much room for activities and for the kids to run around

Our son absolutely loves going to TLC! He’s excited to go to school, which says so much about the caring and welcoming environment the staff has created. He adores his teachers and has made wonderful friends, and it's been amazing to watch him grow socially and emotionally.

We also really appreciate all the fun and engaging activities the school plans. From family movie nights to winter concerts and themed activities, there's always something exciting happening that keeps the children learning and having fun.

We're so grateful to the teachers and staff for the love, patience, and dedication they show every day. It's such a wonderful feeling knowing our son is happy, safe, and thriving. We highly recommend TLC to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching place for their child!

We have been part of the Together Learning Center Family for three years, going on four. Our daughter started when she was 3 years old and it was our COVID baby's first experience away from immediate family. We instantly knew we made the right choice with TLC. Miss Sheryl and the excellent teaching staff supported our daughter through her anxieties of starting school, and then helped navigate her fears around transitioning to kindergarten. She learned to make friends and express her feelings. She developed a curiosity and a joy for learning thanks to TLC. When she started kindergarten last year, we had planned to enter the preschool lottery at her elementary school for our three year old son. However, we had grown to love TLC so much that we chose to not even enter the lottery, because we knew he would have an amazing experience at TLC. And we were absolutely right! Our son wakes up SO excited on his preschool days and talks about school with such enthusiasm. It makes us so happy and 100% confident that we made the right choice sticking with TLC. Next year will be our last year as a part of the TLC family and I'm already too sad to even think about it. We will forever be grateful for TLC and everything they have done for our two kids. We've already recommended neighbors and friends and will continue to sing their praises because TLC is the best place to be!

I’ve had the opportunity to work at Together Learning Center for over five years, and it has been a place where I’ve grown both personally and professionally. From the start, TLC has supported me as I developed as an educator, and I’ve been lucky to learn from both my colleagues and the students I work with each day. Building relationships with the children and watching their growth has easily been the most rewarding part of my experience.

I began as an assistant teacher and have since stepped into co-teaching roles during our summer programs, which has allowed me to take on more responsibility and continue growing in my practice. Even while completing my degree and internships, I’ve always felt welcomed back, which speaks a lot to the sense of community here.

What stands out most to me is how much pride and care goes into supporting each child. Over time—especially with the recent changes at the school—I’ve seen students grow not only academically, but in their confidence and independence. It’s always rewarding to look back at the end of the summer and see how far they’ve come. I leave each year feeling confident in their continued growth as resilient learners, and TLC is truly the best place to start.

TLC is a wonderful pre-school. The teachers are kind and attentive, the premises are spacious and clean and the administrator is the best in the business! Our youngest son was quite shy when he first went but now is full of confidence and proudly shows us the letters he learns each day. Our eldest, who graduated a few years ago, still talks fondly of his teachers there. Cannot recommend the place more highly!

Our child has been attending TLC daycare since he was 2 years old, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are caring, patient, and truly invested in each child's growth and well-being.

The communication between the staff and parents is outstanding. They keep us informed, are always approachable, and make us feel involved in our child's development. We also really appreciate the resources and recommendations they provide to parents, they've been incredibly helpful and show how much they care about supporting families, not just the children.

Our son graduated from TLC this year and is now off to kindergarten. While we're excited for this next chapter, we will truly miss everyone at TLC. Thank you for the love, care, guidance, and support you've given our family over the years. We are so grateful to have been part of the TLC community and highly recommend it to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and supportive place for their child.

My daughter recently started at TLC for the summer and has had a wonderful experience from the start. At first, she had some separation anxiety but that did not last long since the staff and teachers knew exactly what to do to. She loves to tell me about Storytime, the projects she is doing and the fun activities she gets to be a part of like gym class, soccer, water days, etc. TLC is very informative and keeps you updated with photos and emails about the week and future things to look forward to! I highly recommend TLC

Together Learning Center has been more than a workplace to me it’s been like a second family. Over the past six years, I’ve grown here and watched my daughter thrive here as well.

As a mom, I watched my daughter’s confidence blossom. She found her voice raising her hand, trying new things, and making friends. She learned her letters and numbers, but just as importantly, she learned how to be part of a classroom community: to listen, share, ask questions, and believe in herself. She’s always happy when she is here.

When it was time for her to start at a new school, she walked in ready. The routines felt familiar, the structure felt safe, and she carried herself with a calm, happy confidence. TLC had already given her the tools and the courage to thrive.

As both a teacher and a mom, I’m deeply grateful. TLC nurtured my growth and my daughter’s, and it showed us both what’s possible when children are surrounded by patience, play, and genuine love for learning.

My son started his daycare experience elsewhere and, admittedly, struggled. The school he was at touted academic excellence with a national-level curriculum. We got many daily photos and all sorts of workbooks, but the teachers were so busy fulfilling the national curriculum, they overlooked the individual. Turnover rates were high for both teachers and students, and he was miserable, acting out and crying often. There was no stability.

With TLC, we found a hyper-local, second home where he felt at ease, ready to learn and have fun. The change was instant, and he never once said he didn’t want to go to school. We thank TLC from the bottom of our hearts and only wish we had enrolled him here sooner.
