After the reviews and my tour at the school, I put my daughter on the wait list (5 children ahead of me).
My daughter is 3 and this was in March. During the past couple of months I’ve been calling to check status only to get an answer of «if they haven’t called you then it’s not your daughters turn» to «I’ll have them call you back» but never returning my call.
I rather try someplace else by now, seems like there’s no interest in my business.

I am so happy with TLC Learning center! My daughter has 8 months attending this school and it is the best choice I have made. My little one has learned so much. From Ms. Nora which is amazing, loving, and caring to Ms. Lina my daughters current teacher. Ms. Lina has so much patients, always communicates great with me as a parent. I have seen how much she has taught my daughter. To spelling her name to writing 1 to 100. I am so grateful. Ms. Blanca the director is amazing and cares so much about the kids and parents. Never met someone so great with kids like her. Another thing i would line to add is i love how the school is always clean and smells so great the kids are never fussy its amazing. I am so happy with this school that my daughter will be staying in the after school program! Please parents if you are looking for a great school this is truly the one!

TLC PRESCHOOL is such a blessing. My son has ADHD and he was miserable at his old preschool. Since switching him to TLC he is happier than ever. He is excited to go to school everyday again. He loves all his teachers. I can’t thank Miss Blanca and Miss Lena and the rest of the teachers enough for the difference they have made in my son’s life. He is once again a sweet, happy boy that is enthusiastic about learning and making friends. I go to work knowing he is safe and happy and his needs are met.

Such a great center! We started my son when he was almost 3 years old at TLC. He was at a previous center & they were not able to meet his needs. The same day that we met Ms. Blanca & she toured us the center we made the switch immediately. She was able to accommodate my late bloomer son with inconsistent potty training issues that his prior center did not want to work with him. That alone was a huge relief that TLC works with the child based on their needs. All the staff are so welcoming. My son has been in the Giraffe room (Ms Eunice’s class) for about 5 months now and has made a complete change with his overall mood. He is more happy & pleasant. He always tells me how he loves Ms. Eunice and Ms. Kim. When I use to ask him if he liked his other teachers and the other center he was at he always replies «No!». I know that toddlers always tell the truth. The aesthetics of the center could be better but I wouldn’t replace it for the consistent love and guidance that they provide for my son. I am completely happy with the service I have been receiving from TLC Learning Center in Norwalk.

TLC director Ms. Blanca is the best! My daughter has been at TLC since 2012. In the beginning she was part of different classes, different teachers at TLC. Once Ms. Blanca formed part of TLC in 2013 I started to notice a difference, my child was happier and healthier. No other teacher was able to work with her as well as Ms. Blanca. As a teacher she was able to point out to me that my daughter needed glasses. Her prescription turned out to be extremely high and I never knew until Ms. Blanca pointed this out. She has changed my daughter’s life and made a difference that will make a positive effect the rest of her life. By wearing glasses at an early toddler age my daughter has avoided developmental issues and her learning experience was not delayed in preschool, and now as a Kinder graduate is well above grade level.
Academics are important, Care, Nutrition, Love, Understanding, Patience, Creativity, Diversity are all important in our child’s lives. TLC Learning Center in Norwalk is the facility where your toddler babies will grow and be fully prepared to take on kinder.
Ms. Blanca knows how to create the perfect classroom environment and now as director has extended the same love and care with expertise throughout the entire center. I highly recommend TLC, your babies will love it here!

GREAT STAFF! My daughter’s been coming here for about 3+ years and I feel very comfortable leaving her here. Teachers are very friendly and the director takes initiative to assure my daughter is in good hands. The atmosphere feels like home, not a business. I really appreciate the staff now on how accommodating they are to my daughter’s special needs. I highly recommend this particular school to anyone searching for a perfect place to care for their growing child.

I absolutely love TLC… It’s the place to go… My child has learned so much, and is ready to move on to Kindergarten. Thank you so much Ms. Blanca and Ms. Titania for all your dedication, eagerness and devotion. I commend the site Director Ms. Blanca Aponte for a job well done running the Center. You continue to amaze me… Thank you for making the center a much better place. The Shakeys fundraiser was a total success. Thank YOU!

Can’t say enough about what this place did for our son Eli… we owe Miss Kim, Miss Stephanie and Miss Blanca a debt of gratitude for the time they invested in our boy. Since leaving to begin Kindergarten, he’s been ahead of the game in every subject. He is flourishing and it’s all thanks to this great place and its wonderful staff!

We moved to the area a little over a year ago. Not knowing anyone, we interviewed several local preschools looking for a place for my son who was 3 years old at that time. We finally settled on TLC learning center… and, I’m so, so happy that we did! I cannot say enough about why I love this place.
TLC learning center has been a wonderful place to watch, teach and help my little boy grow. Everyone there, including the teachers, director (Ms. Blanca), and cook, is very friendly and helpful. My son enjoys going there and has the hugest smile on his face every time I pick him up. This is much due to his teacher, Ms. Titania, who is the most patient and loving person.
My son has a lot of energy and always tests people, often breaking rules and pushing boundaries. Many people don’t know how to handle him, but Ms. Titania allows him to express his individuality while teaching him to respect the rules. I love her gentle teaching method. We are so lucky she is his teacher.
Besides the wonderful staff, TLC has a great balance of academics, play, and arts. My son brings home the most creative arts and crafts projects. He also brings home worksheets that he does daily practicing his letters, numbers, and site words. He is already up to about 30 site words! What’s more impressive is that they make learning fun. My son asks me almost every day to practice his site words!
I cannot end this review without mentioning Ms. Kim, who was actually my son’s first teacher. She was wonderful and helped to potty train my son — a huge, huge help for us!
And last but definitely not least, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TLC’s amazing and diverse food menu, which was one of my major deciding factors when I chose the school. Unlike most other places, which has your typical menu of process foods, TLC has such a healthy menu. Included in their menu are things such as curry, Korean bbq, HOMEMADE chicken noodle soup, and HOMEMADE spaghetti. Every meal is well balanced with fruits and vegetables. I’ve had the privilege of eating their food a few times and I must say I’m extremely impressed! I am so happy that my son is not bombarded with the typical processed food when he goes to school.
I cannot thank TLC, the director and the rest of the staff for taking such great care of my son. I only hope that every child is well taken care of at their school like my son is at in TLC.

My daughter loves going to school, they’re so good with her and they have been very friendly and helpful with me since I walked in just to get information. Every where else I checked only talked about money! Ms. Blanca made us feel welcomed and my daughters teacher Ms. Kim as well as all the other teachers have welcomed my baby with open arms and she’s learning so much! I’m glad I found this place and recommend it to all parents!

My son has been attending TLC for almost 4 months now and he loves it. As parents we are often concerned about our children when we’re not with them. All the encounters I have had with the teachers have been great. Both my husband and I went to visit the school, along with others before selecting a school. We felt very comfortable and noticed all the teachers are very caring and patient with all the children. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to take their children.

I had a wonderful experience here. My son just started preschool here and he couldn’t be anywhere better! It’s a wonderful small school with a great director, Blanca. Blanca is extremely caring and understanding. My son loved her. His teacher Ms Tatiana is a sweet heart. My son started crying and wouldn’t let me go but she hugged him and calmed him down. I was able to leave knowing he’s in a good place with a great teacher and a wonderful director to watch over him and the rest of the children!

My son just started here in November he loves it! All of the teachers are so helpful and Ms. Sylvia is so sweet and always concerned about the children’s well being. I feel at ease knowing my son can be taken care of after school by people who would care for him as well as I would… Ms. Blanca is very informative and always makes time to speak to the parents and all the children love her which to me as a mother is a very good sign… I highly recommend this school to any parent!

DEFINITELY THE BEST DAYCARE my son has been to. He has about close to a year at tlc now and I’ve never had any issues none at all. Before tlc it was so stressful beauSe I couldn’t seem to find a good place for my son I was about to give up till I heard about tlc. Let me tell you one of the best choices I’ve made ! My son is always picked up with a smile on he’s face they have so much patience even my son tells me how nice he’s teachers all Are to him. If you have any concerns or questions the director Ms. Blanca is always there to answer them. I feel at peace knowing my son is there. I never plan on switching him ever again to another daycare. My son gets home telling me about all the songs he sings at school and it makes me feel so much better than I have to leave him. Around the holidays they always have cute little performances and not to mention field trips ! There is nothing I don’t love about tlc I definetly recommend it ! There whole system is amazing. Makes me happy how my son always gets compliments on how smart he is for his age.

I am so happy and thrilled to hear that Ms. Blanca is the new Director. TLC has hit the gold mine. She is not only passionate, caring, and an amazing teacher, but also has what it takes to get the job done. My son loved having her as his PM teacher prior to leaving TLC. She always made sure to assist him and make him accountable for his performance. She has the drive needed to help children and honestly cares about thier education.

This school was outstanding!!! My first kid was with Ms Kim, Stephanie and Dana. All three ladies were fantastic. Homework was reasonable, discipline was fair, costs were also reasonable fir what you get. My second child was only with Ms Kim for about 8 months. They are very loving and nurturing to kids. They have plenty of activities and day trips. My oldest learned colors, shapes, letters, spelled his first and last name, days… I highly highly recommend this place. So much more than just a daycare!!!

As a parent and former teacher, I did a lot of research on what’s the best for my child. I had a really bad experience at 2 other daycares/​preschools, won’t name any names. Once my older daughter started at TLC, I could see a vast improvement in her behavior and her academics. She has grown into a very well behaved, smart 2nd grader now, she started at TLC in the preschool class and has won many awards and certificates from her elementary school. After having such a wonderful experience with my older daughter, of course I signed my younger daughter up also, as soon as they would take her, which was at age 2. I was concerned at first, since she wasn’t potty trained and didn’t speak much English, but the teachers at TLC worked w/​her like she was their own child and helped potty train her and taught her English in a very short period of time. She has also developed into a wonderful, high spirited individual, who will be entering Kinder in the Fall. I highly recommend this preschool for the moms and dads out there, who are not sure if they can trust a place to take great care of their children. The school has provided assurance for me to work and not worry about whether my girls are being well taken care of and well fed. The teachers at TLC have the most patience and understanding for each individual child that I have not yet experienced anywhere else. I’ve tried private babysitting and 2 other daycares, but I must admit that TLC has and will always be my favorite place to send my girls. They love it there too! TLC is part of the LAUP program, which not only saves you money, but guarantees that your child’s education is being monitored by well trained educators. I assure you once you send your child to TLC, you can never send them anywhere else. I just wish that they would keep my girls til they graduate from high school, only if…

It was really hard for me to feel okay with leaving my son at any preschool because he’s extremely shy and really attached to me and I felt like that was going to be a big problem. Even though it took him a little while to get used to it he eventually made friends and since he’s been here he’s learned a lot and it amazes me. These teachers give each child the individual attention they need and that really brings me peace of mind and now my son wants to go to school everyday! no joke and best of all he really loves his teachers and I feel these teachers genuinely love them back as well.
