Testimonials
“My daughter came to TLC The Learning Centre two terms ago after six years of home education and a stressful time in our lives. Up until then I had spent ten years trying to get her a suitable education but I can say it was worth every minute of waiting and fighting for her to be in this wonderful school.”
“Since attending, staff have supported him to grow in confidence and blossom as a young man. We are over the moon with our son’s progress and will be eternally grateful to the staff at TLC.”
“TLC has been amazing with my daughter Emma, It’s taken her some time to get her to where she is now but she’s thriving and is content and happy; and it’s all thanks to the wonderful staff at TLC.”
“The support the school offer to Charlie and our family is amazing.”
“My son has attended TLC for a year now, joining in year 8 after a year and a half out of the education system. The staff members were so supportive with his transition back in to school and he now goes in every day without any resistance.”
“When I said I felt a family unit when I viewed the school I wasn’t lying…my son has even said he feels like they are. Teachers are superheroes – but TLC teachers are so much more. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.”
“All staff at TLC are amazing, supportive and go above and beyond.”
“Staff seem to really love the children they work with and are easy to talk to from both a parent and student perspective.”
“The Principal, Helen Dyer is a star. She is very attentive and able to meet my young person’s needs in the moment of difficult behaviours. She always keeps me up to date with what is going wrong and what is going well, and has had a positive impact on my young person.”
“All the staff are amazing and go above and beyond, not only for my son, but for me as a parent. It hasn’t been an easy start but you have all never given up on him and shown such care, support and encouragement when he has struggled. I couldn’t be prouder of the progress my son has made, passing tests he never thought he would. I don’t say it enough but thank you for everything you do for us both.”
“The whole team at TLC go above and beyond and their different strategies and strengths are the main reason my daughter is a functioning, well developing young person. Also the small community is just so safe for her. I have already recommended several times to different people as I think the school is just so unique.”
“The staff give such personal care for my child, always helping her feel secure and happy in her environment even through anxiety challenges. Communication with parents is great and I always feel kept “in the loop”.”
