We invite you to read what our happy parents have to say about their experience at TLC academy for young children:“TLC Teachers Instrumental in the Development of Our Girls”
“When we moved to Hudson, TLC Academy for Young Children helped make our transition smooth and full of developmental growth! Rachel is now potty trained, singing the alphabet, counting and dancing. Claire is walking, beginning to talk and showing us how the itsy bitsy spider climbs. Some of our favorite memories include the Halloween Party where the girls learned about ghosts and pumpkins while joining their classmates for a special TLC dinner, the gifts made for each holiday as they learn about our customs, and the daily art that flows into our home and onto the refrigerator. The teachers at TLC have been so instrumental in each girl's development, and we see every day how they are connecting the dots and understanding the world around them. We are so fortunate to have found a place as special as TLC and look forward to the years of exploration ahead. As we watch our girls learn from the environment created by TLC, we know they are in the best care, and we are very thankful.” - The Lipton Family; Hudson, Ohio "Truly a Life Saver For Our Family!” “TLC was truly a life saver for us, especially for Tessa's development. She has made much progress there and is showing us more "tricks" daily that she has picked up. She's started cruising and has found ways to get to almost everything she wants.” - Erin Cockrell; Hudson, Ohio “SO Many Happy Memories!” “Travis has been attending TLC since he was 16 months old and in the Young Explorers classroom. At the time he started, I was a busy single mom and third-year law student and was pleased to have found TLC, a place Travis loved immediately. Some of my favorite memories of TLC include receiving an adorable handmade Mother’s Day gift each year, the Halloween parade and hearing stories of a leprechaun who sneaks into the classrooms each St. Patrick’s Day to turn the milk green! Travis will be attending summer camp at TLC this summer and afternoon kindergarten three days per week this fall, and we look forward to many more happy memories.” - Emily Goetz; mom of Travis (6) “Teachers Have Shown Patience, Understanding and Abundant Kindness!” “When we came to Hudson last October, we loved the family-oriented, friendly community with beautiful old and new homes combined. We found just the right place to stay for a very long time, if not forever. Then came the difficult decision of finding school and child care for Jack (5) and Ella (3). I work part-time as a pediatric occupational therapist and love my career, but with that choice comes the difficult decision of finding an excellent school situation that also offers excellent child care. TLC came highly recommended by several people I spoke with when beginning the search. We love the low teacher-to-child ratio, friendly and motivated teachers and staff and the amount of age-appropriate learning that happens daily. We especially love the kids' faces when they are so excited to share all the activities they bring home with them and stories about their days. Jack, our five year old, is unsure about new situations. Ms. Kim, Ms. Jaime and Ms. Destanie have shown Jack patience, understanding and an abundance of kindness to help him become comfortable in his classroom. I am happy to say that he is thriving thanks to their guidance! Our Ella “plays” teacher almost every night and does a great job imitating Ms. Roseanne and Ms. Ashley’s gentle and hands-on approach to teaching. And Wednesday mornings are always full of excitement for Mr. Pfeister’s gym class that day. They especially love it! We have met so many great families and people at TLC and are so grateful for such an easy transition into a new community!” - Braley Family; Hudson, Ohio “To say that we are pleased with the care our children have received at TLC would be a huge understatement. Our children have thrived as a result of being with teachers who are truly devoted to creating a fun environment of learning for each and every child in their classroom. Moreover, the TLC staff is genuine in their interest of the overall well-being of our children, as they went above and beyond to make sure we knew how much they would love to care for our child with special needs. Since starting at TLC, she has made remarkable progress, and I attribute her recent milestones to her wonderful teachers. Their guidance and encouragement have been invaluable. Sending our children to TLC has been one of the best decisions we've ever made.” - Kyra & Tom Forrest; parents of Ethan (7), Eleanor (4) & Eva (15 months); Hudson, Ohio “I have two children at TLC, age four and nine months old. Both have been at TLC since infancy. I love that my younger son will have the same teachers that my older son did, since TLC’s teacher turnover is very low. They are so loving and truly care about my boys. I never have to worry while I am at work because I know that my boys will be learning in such a warm, loving environment, and they do learn! My husband works at Kent State, and we have recommended TLC to many new faculty who’ve also been happy there. I feel so lucky to have found them!” - Paige Mintz; mom of Jordan (4) & Elliott (9 months); Hudson, Ohio “I feel our choice to use TLC was made even before our son was born! Over the years, my husband and I have known numerous families whose children have attended TLC, and they’ve given us nothing but positive feedback. When I was four months pregnant, I reserved a spot for our son to attend full-time. He has been at TLC almost two years now. In a nutshell, I cannot imagine him anywhere else. The teachers have created such a warm, caring and educational environment. Since the child-to-teacher ratio is so low, he gets personalized attention and nothing goes without notice. My son loves the walks around the pond, the daily arts and crafts and swim day during the summer months. Most importantly, our son is safe in a very secure environment with a very caring staff and owners. Thank you, TLC, for being the BEST at what you do!” - Tracey & Kevin Vaughn; parents of Griffin (2); Stow, Ohio “As an educator, I shopped around for a high-quality child-care facility for my toddler. I chose TLC because of the small class sizes and low child-teacher ratios. I also liked that they went outside and explored the community rather than watching videos or playing on the computer. When I became responsible for Kent State University's early-childhood student-teaching placements, I began sending students to TLC. They continue to receive great mentoring and life experience in the classroom while contributing fresh ideas and energy. TLC is a terrific asset to Hudson families!” - Dr. Wendy Bedrosian, PhD Early Childhood Education, KSU; Mom of Celine (now a 9th-grader at Walsh Jesuit) “We want to say how fortunate we are to have this incredible learning center to bring our children to each day. To know my children are in the care of people who really love what they do and go above the standard is priceless. Our children have benefitted from the dedicated efforts of those that teach them and who leave gentle impressions on their hearts and minds.” - Chris & Connie Skripac; Hudson, Ohio “Thank you for filling a much needed niche in the child-care choices in our area. The low child/teacher ratio and quality of care at TLC is outstanding. The TLC teachers do a fantastic job caring for and helping to develop our future politicians, princesses, super heroes, teachers, etc.” - Bev & Steve Kurjan; Hudson, Ohio |
