  • Health and nutrition are an important part of our program. We provide a healthy breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack made from locally sourced ingredients free of artificial preservatives, colors, flavors and sweeteners because we believe healthy eating habits start now.  To learn more about the food we serve click here!

Read what our families have to say...

"My 2 year old child loves going to TEL HI for daycare. The teachers and staff are so caring and the parents are so friendly here. I liked that food is included in the monthly cost and I like knowing my child is getting a well rounded nutritional meal each day based on his age. My son gets to try so many different foods and they even get to make homemade smoothies and popsicles with fresh fruit throughout the year in a learning environment. They have a large indoor gymnasium, so whenever it rains all the kids still get to play outside of their classrooms. Many of the parent hang out with other parents from their child's class to make neighborhood friends. It's one of the few schools I heard that has a community feel compared to other facilities. They just remodeled the outside playground and made a grassy area for the infants, so they can crawl around outside and it looks great! I would recommend TEL HI to any parent who lives in the neighborhood."

“The toddler program at TEL HI is fantastic! My son's been going there for over a year now and--in my opinion--has received the best care and guidance from his teachers. His teachers are attentive and are always readily open to suggestions and chatting about his day-to-day progress. My son suffers from eczema and they've just been amazed by giving him extra care on the bad skin days. My wife and I know he's in good hands when we drop him off during the week.”
