MAKING THE GRADE WITH YOUR KIDS
The Kinder-Plus class is specially designed for the 5-year-old with a summer or fall birthday. This gives the benefit of a little more time to meet the cognitive and social/emotional Kindergarten standards.
We offer a play-based class intended to prepare the children for the social and academic challenges they will face when entering school. Some of the essential goals include focusing attention, understanding and using vocabulary, planning, problem-solving, socializing with peers and teachers, and developing social skills that help to make friends and resolve conflicts.
Our basic cognitive goals include the early concepts of reading, math, and language including meaningful literacy activities, writing, earth science, art and art history, music, and introductions to different cultures.

What our parents are saying
“Our family has been with TLC-ELC for the past seven years, beginning in the infant Turtle room and progressing up to the TAC room. The teachers are exceptional, taking the time to truly get to know each child. The staff has been incredibly supportive, helping us with the process for our son’s speech delay evaluation and getting him into the appropriate program. Each classroom has well-structured routines that help the children develop new skills in a fun and dynamic way. By the time our son entered Kindergarten, we felt confident he was fully prepared to take on school. Our son eagerly looks forward to summers at TLC, enjoying weekly pool trips and excursions to parks, zoos, nature centers, Lynx games, and museums. Our daughter, too, is excited about her time at TLC. She especially enjoys playing with friends, participating in soccer shots, dance lessons, and swinging outside.”
