Join us in celebrating TLC Learning Center, 07/25!
About
The Mission of TLC Learning Center is to ensure every child meets their full potential and our community thrives, TLC Learning Center provides inclusive early learning, pediatric therapy, and dedicated family support.
In 1956, four Longmont families saw a need for equitable learning opportunities for their children and were determined to make it happen. Almost 20 years before special education legislation was passed in the United States, they were encouraged to keep their children at home or to institutionalize them, a common practice for the time. Because those families believed that their children deserved to have a childhood like their typically-developing peers –attending preschool, playing with friends, and enjoying a rich and healthy quality of life—they sought to create a place where all children are welcome, regardless of ability, background, or income and the Tiny Tim Cerebral Palsy Center, as it was called then, was born. Seventy years later, we still believe that children learn best when they are in an environment that embraces and celebrates their differences, as well as their commonalities.
The core services of TLC Learning Center is our licensed childcare center serving children 6 weeks-6 years old and our licensed pediatric therapy services serving children birth-age 12. In addition, TLC Learning Center now includes the TLC Early Learning Collaborative, a space where the Longmont community comes together to provide training, educational opportunities, and collaborations to serve the Longmont and the surrounding communities.
