My daughter has been going to The T.E.A. Center for 9 months and loves her teachers and classmates. The staff is excellent. They’re responsive and diligent in protecting the students and staff. The classes and activities are fantastic! They teach Spanish and French! My daughter surprises me every day with everything she has absorbed at school. I'm happy to have her at The T.E.A. Center, and soon my 2-year-old will join. Highly recommend this program for little ones!

The T.E.A. Center has been a savior in hosting a Kindergarten classroom with in-person learning 5 days a week! I can’t say enough about the precautions and guidelines they successfully implemented to keep our children safe while offering a rare opportunity to learn in person this year! We are happy with the school and plan to keep our child in the before, after-school, and summer camp program!
- Carrie Tomchik Passaro
We love The T.E.A. Center, and our preschooler adores her teachers, friends, and daily activities. Our daughter is thriving based on T.E.A. Center’s multi-faceted focus on traditional school subjects, cultural exposures, and confidence-building activities. We also appreciate the kind yet firm manner in which they handle our child. We are very grateful for T.E.A. Center’s phenomenal instruction, encouragement, and guidance as our daughter navigates this phase of her life!

My son started at The T.E.A. Center about 7 months ago. He doesn’t like change and had difficulty adjusting, but the staff at The T.E.A. Center were incredibly supportive during the transition. They have a fantastic program for kids that is both fun and educational. The T.E.A. Center exposes kids to various activities, like art, reading, yoga, music, different languages, and so much more! We also did the summer camp for elementary-age kids here, which was equally fantastic!
- Anupa Maru
The T.E.A. Center is wonderful. The teachers are caring, friendly, and extremely patient. The school itself is immaculate, bright, and inviting. My son was super excited to go here every day. The price is very fair considering the outstanding education and loving environment your child receives. We've been very, very pleased with being a part of The T.E.A. Center family and are very much looking forward to using their after-school program.

Mayosha and her staff at The T.E.A. Center are amazing, and the education they provide their students is second to none. This is not just childcare; it's a unique learning environment where kids get to experiment with many different interests and learn to be leaders at a young age. It’s hard to find this type of care anywhere else. I love The T.E.A. Center!
