Pre School Education and Child Care
To the uninformed eye, TLC may look like nothing more than children playing outside, as children always have. But playing in our Outdoor Classroom(ODC) means something much deeper, it is a return to a very old thing: child-centered learning. TLC embraces outdoor, child-initiated play as critical to children’s well-being. Young learners can immerse themselves in nature, hone observation skills, practice persistence and cooperation, develop academic concepts and physical skills and learn problem solving skills and, of course—play and have fun. TLC nurtures growth and learning for the whole child. The children learn by supporting their physical, social and emotional growth, as well as growth across the curriculum: math, science, language and literacy, social studies, art, music and drama. Being responsive to a child’s needs to foster a positive sense of self, sense of security and well being, plenty of hugs and cuddles throughout the day and provide tender love and care, so all children can feel home…away from home.
