About Us

At TLC, through play-based learning our teachers work to help children develop as a whole person; intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.  We provide a loving, Christian environment where children can grow through praise and encouragement.  We believe that each child has a natural curiosity and desire to learn.  By making learning fun, we will develop a love for learning that children can take with them throughout their educational lives.
