They went on to say my 2.5 year old son would first have to enroll (so money would need to be exchanged and contracts signed) and then (and only then) would he (and only he) be allowed into their business. I was informed that I would not under any circumstances be allowed through their doors: "We would show him around but you can't go in with him." This is not recommended behavior by any child care policy setting body in the US. It's sickening to think that this business actually thinks this is an acceptable way to introduce toddlers to day care. It's actually alarming and disgusting.

We LOVE TLE in Yorktown! We joined in July 2018 because our old daycare closed. The teachers have…read morebeen amazing and I feel like they are almost friends caring for my son. They keep me up to date on all his developments, and I can tell how much they care about him. The curriculum for all kids is great and is teaching them at a very young age about art, music, language, science/math, etc. My sons language and comprehension has skyrocketed because of these folks and I couldn't be happier. Keri, the director, is wonderful and very responsive. Excited to be a part of the TLE family for many years to come.

Yorktown Stage runs an amazing summer camp…read more Owner Barry Liebman knows what he's doing and has honed the camp experience into a dream come true for any up and coming performers. During the week, campers will work with a choreographer to perfect two dance routines -- one to a musical theatre show and another to a pop song. Between dance classes, campers will rotate into improv and arts and crafts classes. Each week culminates in a performance of the two dances in front of a very packed crowd of thrilled parents and relatives. The head counselor August is awesome and the staff and CITs follow his enthusiastic lead to deliver an incredible experience for all of the campers.

The staff (from counselors to instructors) is also fantastic and a group of very experienced professionals. The directors are always developing new programs and bringing in the latest activities for campers of all ages. One of the newest additions to the camp is the climbing wall and zip line. My kids could not get enough of them. My kids are also huge fans of animals and the fact that Deerkill has a pony, and a couple of friendly alpacas is a great plus. Overall, I would recommend Deerkill to anyone that would like to provide their kids with the opportunity to have summers they will never forget making life long friends along the way. Thanks Deerkill, the kids can't wait to be back again this summer!!!

I said well if you can't give me a plan the next time it happens I will have to call the police. the Director then hung up on me and the late in the next day (Saturda) she sent an email telling me that my kids were kicked out of the camp and not allowed to go on the sleep away portion week that they were already packed for and excited to go on that Monday.
