TLE’s certified teachers use next gen-
eration L.E.A.P. interactive boards with touch technology. Students complete assignments
on screen, take virtual trips, and interact with books from Bubbles’ Reading Corner. Bub-
bles the blue elephant reads to them, and books come alive. Company-wide, 90 percent
of children who attend TLE and take part in TLE’s Fun with Phonics reading program are
reading by the time they enter kindergarten.
Children also receive a view into world cultures: The current feature is “L.E.A.P. into
Mandarin.” Enrichment programs, which are available at no extra cost, include Super Soccer, Yipee
for Yoga, Suddenly Science, Marvelous Math, Music 4 Me, and Talent Sprouts.
TLE students in K-5 have access to transportation to and from local schools, home-
work help, snacks and lunch, two outdoor playgrounds, and two indoor play areas: Make
Believe Boulevard and Celebration Station.
Each summer, Camp TLE is offered to children from age two through grade five. Partici-

and music and movement.

Creations by Christine Events founder
Christine Figliuolo uses her planning
skills to help those less fortunate
W hen Christine Figliuolo started her wed-
ding and special events planning com-
pany in 1994, her goal was to provide clients
with superior, stress-free service. Now, 20 years
and hundreds of weddings and social events later,
Christine is parlaying her planning skills into events
that give back to Bergen County communities.
As past president of the Waldwick Chamber
of Commerce, an active Bergen County resident,
and a successful entrepreneur, Christine has put
together events to raise money for local causes in
need of funding and exposure. In 2007, she orga-
nized the first Waldwick 5K Run, an event that has
grown from a few dozen participants to over 800
runners from around the state. The funds raised
have been donated to local town/school organiza-
tions and heart-related charities.
Christine has also volunteered her time to coor-
Christine Figliuolo
dinate the “Behind the Seams” fashion show for
Eva’s Village, a non-profit organization that helps
feed and shelter the homeless. Since its inception,
Behind the Seams has grown tremendously. It is
now a tented high-end show that attracts over 300
guests. Behind the Seams will be celebrating its
fifth year this May, and the CBC Event team will
be there once again to assist in producing this ben-
efit. Recently, Christine and a team of volunteers organized the first Disco Dance Charity
event to raise awareness and funds for Shelter Our Sisters, the not-for-profit domestic vio-
lence prevention organization based in Hackensack. Over 300 guests attended and $3,500
was donated to SOS. The second annual event is scheduled for Oct. 10.
Christine has leveraged her planning skills and enlists her service providers to coor-
dinate special events. This winning combination is the key to her success. She not only
personifies the entrepreneurial spirit so evident in the women of Bergen County, but her
willingness to pay it forward will hopefully inspire others to do the same.
