TLC for Kids strives to bring out the absolute best in its students by developing their learning abilities and fostering personal growth, in order to help them truly achieve a lifetime of continued learning.  This proactive approach to education was developed based on scientific findings of brain-based research and involves a very distinct method of teaching. 

 

TLC for Kids’ teaching methods are built on the idea that children, especially at very young ages, have limitless resources and potential.  TLC for Kids taps into these resources when children are most receptive to new ideas, and teaches them how to maximize their capacity to think and learn.

 

  Foundation

The basis of TLC for Kids’ methods is rooted in physiological findings about early childhood development and the manner in which children learn. 

 

Up until the age of three, children process information solely using right-brain thinking.  The right side of the brain functions in a non-verbal manner, processes visual, spatial, perceptual, and intuitive thinking, and is considered the source of creativity. 

 

As they mature, children typically begin to lose their ability to think using their right brain as the influences around them stress left brain thinking more and more. 

 

The left brain is responsible for verbal, logical, and analytical thinking, which focuses on order, categorizing, symbolic abstraction, speech, reading, writing, and arithmetic, and is typically the basis of the teachings at traditional education institutions.     

 

Unique Approach

TLC for Kids cultivates a healthy balance between right- and left-brain thinking in order to prepare students for a lifetime of effective learning.  Emphasis is placed on enhancing and preventing the loss of right-brain thinking capabilities to offset the approach typically employed by traditional schools.  Students can learn and achieve much more when they are equally adept at both right- and left-brain thinking.
