Classes & Curriculum
The curriculum for TLC is organized into a spiral of integrated studies, rather than a traditional model in which the curriculum is compartmentalized into separate subjects. Our curriculum gives TLC children the opportunities to do the things that their parent(s) do at home. Through out their stay at TLC the children are exposed to an integrated thematic approach that ties the separate disciplines of the curriculum from concrete to abstract.

Thank you for loving my children when they are unlovable, being patient with them when you have lost your patience, believing in them and pushing them to be wonderful human beings by teaching manners, life skills, and appropriate behavior along with their academics.
