We are a non-​profit organization and have been in business for decades. Our company relies on community support and development for our ongoing commitment to learning and pediatric therapy.

History

Established in 1956.

Preparing children for success by nurturing and supporting the individual child has been the focus of TLC for over fifty years. We have always understood the importance of assisting children as they reach their highest potential through supporting the whole child. We provide high-​quality childcare, preschool and pediatric therapy services to accomplish our mission.

While the organization was founded to serve children with special needs, in 1990 we moved to an inclusive education model, serving children with and without special needs with a top quality early education. No two learners are alike, whether they have a disability or not, and so inclusive schools place great importance on creating opportunities for students to learn and be assessed in a variety of ways. TLC teachers consider a wide range of learning styles in designing instruction to meet each child’s needs and interests.
