We loved TLT! Unfortunately, we had to pull our kids out at the beginning of the pandemic because I…read moream high risk but our two kids (2yo & 3yo at the time) LOVED it here! They do great activities with the kids and all of their employees are wonderful. It's unfortunate that someone gave a 1 star review just because of the fact that TLT charged a fee during Covid. They send out a very honest explanation and at the time were not being offered any special help /programs from the government as other businesses were. They were faced with a very difficult decision and instead of shutting down their doors and leaving tons of parents scrambling, they stayed opened and very transparent of their decision to charge. I was not thrilled about paying either but to me it was worth it and they really didn't have any other options. As far as the other woman that posted a bad review. It sounds like you're not going to be a "good fit" anywhere. If your child requires alone time, that's going to involve another staff member to supervise this child so that he/she can be alone. Not to mention a free space to do this in. Sounds like you should consider an at home nanny service instead of expecting a daycare to conform to your very specific, high level needs. I looked at her profile and she's given 1-2 stars to 4 other area day cares. At some point, you've got stop and think, "maybe it's not them....maybe it's me" I find the need to point this out because I don't think it's fair to TLT or inquiring parents looking at the ratings to base your decisions off two reviews that really aren't relavent to how wonderful this place truly is. Bottom line, our kids loved it here. The staff is incredibly generous and truly cared for our children. I've never felt more comfortable leaving my kids with anyone else than I have here so THANK YOU ALL!!

I came to Ms Darlene's because I was looking for a child care place for my daughter. I have to say…read morethat I was extremely impressed. The place is extremely spacious, giving children lots of room to play; and the layout is unique and refreshing. When I came the teachers were warm and attentive and extremely friendly. I felt at ease as soon as I walked in. I do have to say that I am shocked by the negative review by Amanda O. On here. I was shown around and saw the playpens folded up and neatly tucked away; Mats for nap time were all organized in a closet, and toys were in toy boxes. I did not see any toys in cribs. I'd also like to point out that given how many children and toys there are, the place was impressively neat and organized. As for the baby room, I thought it was a great set up! It's its own separate room; confined and set up so the person in there can be attentive to all babies. The only reason we did not go with Ms Darlene's was merely because of distance. Even though we were unable to attend I highly recommend Ms Darlene's!

Teachers here are really nice and creative(Before our leaving, her teacher asked us if we want to have our daughter's picture. They picked all her picture out and put in a USB key for us. You can image how much extra effort they did). Ratio are very good. And compare to CA. This school does not have those winter break, spring break or summer break(Certainly this is quite common in NH). Classroom and playground are quite spacious and clean. And they have a big gym for rainy day and other activities. Although they don't have lots field trip for toddler and preschool(they do go around campus, and visit fire station and police station from time to time), they do invite others to come to perform.

My son started this daycare as a painfully shy young kid, and he has grown so much. He loves the teachers and the kids there so much, they are super responsive with us; and I love him going there as well. We also had him picked up there for his preschool regularly and was great we were able to do that. Before sending my son here we had him going in Tyngsboro, MA (which was obviously a long drive there and back) because of how picky i was with daycares- but have nothing bad to say and honestly only praise with this one. Both myself, my son and my husband will be very sad when he will be full time in school and unable to come here regularly and hope my infant will be able to come here as well.

This is not a rant, this is a lengthy letter describing a factual recent event and should be read…read morethoroughly by parents who are contemplating this school as an option. To each their own, but here is my experience: The school is ran by teachers you'll never meet, and most if not all, seem to not be actual teachers with degrees but parents filling in to help, operated by a woman who will insult your child to your face while on the front steps of the school. They will give up on your child because of their inability to discipline or educate, that was made clear right away, when I was told they don't discipline. I was concerNed to hear this when the words came out of the woman's mouth (a few months back) but since meetings or proper discussions aren't a practice of theirs (always rushed with the door barely opened) I thought, this is a temporary babysitting space my daughter seems 2 enjoy, while we wait for our school of choice to have openings. Apparently my 4 year old took out her lunch instead of her snack so this means she has cognitive issues. Careful this place is dangerous, anyone who is NOT medically trained, who does not hold a degree in psychology or a phd, has NO RIGHT TO THROW MEDICAL LABLES ON YOUR CHILD because they simply claim to speak from experience. I have been a mother for 18 years, I am however not a trained professional in psychiatry, psychology, you won't see me labeling your child's physical or mental condition... Three kids, ranging from ages 18 to 4 and I have NEVER had a "teacher, school director" handle herself the way she did yesterday; this woman was seething with rage, like an old poodle! Throwing out a diagnosis of my child, while on the front steps of the school, a rushed conversation at pick up/drop off, while other parents are dropping off their kids... (Meeting like these are handled in a professional setting/manner in private, with supporting documents/notes to go over) & If you dare challenge the woman's un-educated diagnosis be prepared to get kicked off the property with the door slammed to your face while your child is still in the school! (don't worry I immediately removed my child from the erratic woman's grip, forcing myself back into the school, while this woman is screaming for the cops to be called, scaring the children, my child and Honestly everyone else)... As an expert parent however, having sent my three kids to several different schools over the years, what I can tell you with certainty is they have no idea how to educate children and clearly the tired director with twenty years experience should go on a leave of absence, she has no business being with small children. As for curriculum, the kids' daily activities are done on scrap paper, with writings on the back, looks like they tear paper out of old books or folders (not school related) and give to the kids to scribble On. Mind you it costs $255 a week. Your kids clothes and personal belongings will always be lost, misplaced or given to another child; we are out a sleeping bag, two pairs of shoes and at least 10 sweaters, I don't have the money to replace these items. When you ask for these items you will be told to wait phtisies, as you are never allowed in the school, for them to hand you over a bunch of items not one being your childs. Super shady. Back to my main point, they don't know how to discipline or teach toddlers, they will just tell you your child is the issue if your child is rambunctious, a toddler. Your 3 1/2, 4 year old child is the issue. Here's the kicker, they will not tell you anything to lead up to these claims or diagnosis. Over the last 8 months I was told twice (at pick up on these lovely front steps, with the door half open, her wretched head sticking out) that my child was a bit "tough" today... but that's it. So Let this sink in, you could be told your child has abnormal behaviors and these should be assessed, out of the blue, while standing on the front steps of this dump whole, with other parents around, and if you dare ask questions or offer tips or challenge the behavioral diagnosis, you will be kicked off the property, door slammed in your face... My daughter is now 4, she attends two other programs (gym and play group) and these two other businesses could not believe what was said by this woman about my typical 4 year old, shocked but mostly astonished as to how this was brought up to me. This school is a dump whole, and I am riddled with guilt for leaving my baby in their care over the last 8 months! I can't stress this enough, if it doesn't feel right, even though "it must be" and your child seems happy, pull your kid out or investigate.. do your due diligence. Because she's my third, I assumed she was ok even though the school didn't seem amazing or ideal, I ignored the little red flags. Shame on me. Shame on this school for being opened

Make sure you get it in writing first. They told us Drop off time we had in mind would not matter at all! Now they are kicking my child out due to drop off time that they set and we followed along with not taking a nap (WHICH IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE WAY) There was a time my daughter was not fed anything inside of her lunch box and I Contacted useless Kaitlynn and she never responded. So I decided to contact the owners and they respond 4 days later stating that they didn't think it was important enough to respond because it wasn't that serious! I guess feeding my daughter in their supervision was not that important to them! New Director (Kaitlynn Strand) is as useless as they come. Owner and her husband are just as useless and arrogant/ ignorant. These clowns sent me an email 9/10/25 after I sign my daughter out and leave the parking lot that after 9/12/25, Mia is no longer allowed in the facility because she does not take naps. No other child was targeted but mine! My daughters last day there I was told by the arrogant husband that I do not know how to run a business. Clearly not knowing that I run 2 businesses. He must think he is the only businessman in Windham, NH I will reporting this to every department possible because what they are doing are so wrong in so many levels! Side note: Would love to give huge thanks to Miss Leah, Miss Danielle and the other 2 staff for giving unconditional love to Mia! I noticed it from a mile away and I thank you for that! I hope you reach your furthest point in your careers and not with this joke of a facility. As for Miss Mia, it is a shame you share the same name as my daughter. You are a complete joke along with your director and bosses. Thank you (sarcastically) for being 2 faced. When Mia's mom asked you how are things with new time drop off etc you said everything is perfect. Then go to your director and bosses complaining. Thank you for setting this all up! I Hope karma hits you in the worst way possible! Your bosses you cry to about my daughter told me everything! You would complain Mia wouldn't nap because you didn't get time to be on your phone!
