Philosophy
At TLC, our philosophy is deeply aligned with the Montessori approach. We are committed to nurturing the development of the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, socially, mentally, and physically. Our learning environment is both caring and stimulating, designed to foster independence, encourage critical thinking, and inspire a lifelong love of learning and play.
About our program
At TLC, we are dedicated to promoting self-care and mental well-being as fundamental components of early childhood development. We believe that exercise, positive affirmation, and play are essential to cultivating a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Through our programs and initiatives, we educate children and families on the importance of self-care practices and their lasting impact on mental health. We also recognize the harm caused by unhealthy learning environments, which is why we are committed to fostering creative, open, and supportive spaces. By addressing the direct needs of each child, we ensure that every learner can thrive in a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment.
