Build Futures, Transform Lives…
Join Us in Expanding Our Reach to Every Child in Need
TLC Learning Center maintains a long-standing vision of inclusion, community, equity, and the legacy of its founders. We continue to set the example and standard as a model for inclusion and community in an increasingly fragmented and disconnected society. Recognizing the need to expand and enhance early learning opportunities to continue to benefit our growing community, TLC is now leading the way with the development of a new campus that will serve Longmont, and the surrounding area, for decades to come.
The TLC Early Learning Collaborative will be a gathering place reflecting this vision. The new facility will be more than a building. It will be home to collaboration between TLC Learning Center and the early learning community, among others. Parents, caregivers, children, and early learning specialists from our community, will have a central location to work, plan, learn, and thrive. The benefits to the the community are numerous—the time is now.
Our Mission
• Inclusive Learning Environment – we excel in inclusive, flexible, responsible learning environments and community.
• Family And Caregiver Support – we provide education, resources, and reliable support to families and caregivers.
• Leadership and Advocacy – we are leaders in early learning and therapy services for children and youth through demonstration of innovative and evidence-based best practices and advocacy for disability rights.
TLC envisions a community of inclusion and belonging for all children and their families.
Making the Vision a Reality
We are embarking on a $6.5 million capital campaign to design and build the TLC Early Learning Collaborative.
We invite everyone in the community whose lives we have touched, or who might need our services in the future, to join us in this effort.
This is not merely about a building. This is a long-term investment in our community.
To ensure that the growing need for early learning will be met for future generations. We invite you to invest in this critical community resource.
The new facility includes an approximate 32,000 sq. ft., two-story building with classrooms, pediatric therapy spaces, a commercial kitchen, professional development and community training spaces, administrative offices, multiple playgrounds, and ample parking.
We are excited to announce that the TLC Early Learning Collaborative is now in the soft launch phase of our capital campaign and as of October 2024 have raised $13.3 million of our $17 million goal. There are still many naming rights opportunities available for interested supporters. If you are interested in learning more about how you can be part of this exciting community project, please contact TLC’s President/CEO Matt Eldred at meldred@learningwithtlc.org.
