TLC Makes a Difference Because TLC Is Different.

At TLC, we pride ourselves on being a different kind of child care experience. Come discover the unique benefits that TLC offers families:

• A higher level of individualized attention for your child, due to our small group sizes and incomparably low teacher-to-child ratios for every program in our center.

• For example, our infant room offers a ratio of 3 infants to 1 teacher, which is half the state requirement, and lower than any other center in Hudson. Our infant room is intimate and cozy, but provides enough room between cribs for infants to sleep soundly. Our babies are only an arms-length away.
• Our Preschool room offers a low ratio of 7-to-1, compared to many facilities which staff at a 12-to-1 ratio for this age group.

• Excellent preparation for Kindergarten. TLC kids are well-prepared for the challenges of elementary school and beyond.
• Easy access to nature, featuring regular nature walks around Hudson’s ponds, and picnics with the ducks!
• Conveniently located on a residential street in central Hudson, close to downtown.

• Exciting & Playful Learning Environment - TLC’s environment has been designed to stimulate your child’s senses and imagination. Space design, colors, and lighting were researched and carefully chosen to create the best environment for learning and caring.
• A Loving and Caring Staff of talented and highly qualified teachers and assistant teachers. Many of our teachers are working on advanced degrees in teaching and early childhood development.
• A Full-Day Kindergarten Program which achieved special recognition and commendations by Hudson School Board authorities.
• Spacious, Natural Outdoor Playground featuring shade trees, lots of grass, and fabulous play structures.
• TLC Summer Academy - Children forget 30% of what they learn over summer vacation. TLC provides a Summer Academy Program for children three to seven years of age. This program is specially designed to increase children’s knowledge and grow their skills while having fun interacting with other children and with their environment.
• Delicious, Nutritionally Balanced Meals & Snacks Provided – We have a full-time trained cook on staff who plans hot, healthy meals and delicious snacks, featuring a great variety of fresh fruits and fresh or frozen vegetables. We are a peanut-free facility.
• Flexible Programs – we accommodate busy families by offering a flexible schedule.
• Play-Oriented, Age-Appropriate Curriculum tailored to your child’s interests. Focusing on emergent reading & math skills, approaches toward learning, gross & fine motor skills, personal hygiene, cognitive thought, social interaction, emotional and moral development.
• Fantastic Field Trips for pre-K and Kindergarten-age children.
• Meticulous Cleaning & Sanitizing of the facility, equipment and toys. All small toys are cleaned and disinfected several times each day. Large toys and cribs are cleaned and disinfected at the end of each day. Linens and sheets are washed daily. Cots are cleaned and disinfected on Fridays.
• Secure, Residential Setting: your child will feel like they’re going to their home away from home.
• Full-Spectrum Lighting: TLC uses full spectrum lights in all classrooms. Full spectrum light most closely resembles natural sunlight. Ordinary fluorescent lights can emit X-rays, radiation and radio waves – emissions that can decrease productivity and cause fatigue, confusion, eyestrain, irritability, depression and hyperactivity in some sensitive children. A study of one classroom concluded that hyperactivity declined by 33 percent when full spectrum lighting was used. With full spectrum lights, the pupils in the eyes will become smaller. This response generates clearer vision and higher perception.
