What are some of my parent benefits when I join The Learning Center (TLC)?

 

• The Learning Center (TLC) is a private membership association which means parents are private members of The Learning Center (TLC). This is important because parent voice and involvement is valued and protected.

​

• As a private member your Constitutional rights are protected and you are protected from public mandates.

​

• TLC's mission is to provide your child with the highest quality education possible and partner with you in this journey.

​

• At the beginning of each month, you are provided with your child's monthly calendar of learning goals for language arts (Excellence in Writing), and directions for science and history projects. (1st - 6th grade)

​

• Your child may bring in their own math or they can use what TLC provides. TLC uses The Good and the Beautiful, Mammoth Math, and hands-on materials. Providing different math curriculum helps your child find the right math for them.

​

• ​Children use a Friday - Monday planner for the days they are not at TLC. The Friday - Monday planner consists of ongoing work your child is already doing while at TLC. The Friday - Monday work is optional and up to you. Some parents take their children on outing or complete their own learning project​.

​

• ​Parents are welcome anytime, including sitting in your child's classroom.

​

• Families have the flexibility of taking vacations or medical leaves during our learning year.

​

• At the end of the year, your child will present their work portfolio to you. This represents their year of learning. End of the year assessments are included.

​

• TLC hosts seasonal family gatherings so families can get to know each other better. TLC is for building a healthy and supportive community of families. Extended family is invited to attended the gatherings. These seasonal gatherings include our fund raiser events, such as a silent auction in November.

​

• Parents often contribute by sharing an ability, interest, or time to TLC, which is very appreciated. If finances are tight and you wish to barter a service for a service, please feel free to reach out to TLC.

​

• TLC is a technology free learning community. We feel the children get enough computer and phone time away from TLC.

​

• Parents have peace of mind knowing that the TLC community values God, family, country, and community.
