“My daughter joined TLC 2 years ago. When she first started there she was extremely anxious and traumatised from being in a mainstream school environment. She was so frightened of going to school, but on the first day the whole school looked after her and showed her that it will be OK, that school can be an enjoyable experience. I remember Bella coming home from school that day absolutely buzzing that the other children were nice to her and wanted to include her in the activities they were doing.
I received regular phone calls from the school and messages reassuring me that my little girl was ok, and happy. I am so thankful to Helen and the fantastic teachers at TLC, they really do care and the learning is very much individual to each student. The school is such a nurturing environment and my daughter feels safe, happy and confident to speak out! She has found her voice and was encouraged to join in and to embrace her own self. This was a child that would put her hand in front of her mouth and keep her eyes on the floor when speaking, she would shake and be terrified to talk to anyone.
Today I am delighted to say that she now has the confidence to speak to people (even strangers) she has good eye contact and her hands are by her side! I am delighted to say that The learning Centre has been the best school for Bella, the whole teaching team really go above and beyond to do their very best for my child. I know that any problems or difficulties are dealt with quickly and easily. My daughter was very behind in her school work when she started at TLC but with patience, kindness and a lot of encouragement from the various teachers Bella is preparing for her exams next summer. I will be forever grateful to the wonderful Head teacher and her excellent staff for all the help, kindness and support they have given to my child and my family”.
