At The Learning Circle (TLC), our childcare professionals are dedicated to providing an enriched experience for the children in their care. This includes creating multi-age classrooms where children of different ages can learn, play, and grow together. While this may seem like a common practice now, it was rare when TLC was founded.
Julie, the founder of TLC, has been a leader in the childcare and education field and has fought for the implementation of multi-age classrooms for decades. This is something many parents can relate to, as having had grown up in a large family themselves, the benefits of a multi-age environment are evident. It wasn’t until 25 years ago, however, that the idea of uniformity in age was the norm in early learning environments. Through Julie’s leadership and persistence, TLC and other childcare centers have been able to provide children with a unique learning and care experience, one that encourages growth and nurtures connection.
Child-development is at the heart of The Learning Circle and our curriculum reflects years of research as well as on-site work with teachers and leaders in the field of education. TLC also welcomes input fromwith parents and families. Together, we develop a curriculum that keeps our young students engaged and ready to step inside a circle of learning:
