A literate community is one in which members have the literacy skills necessary to not only function, but to thrive. In a 100% literate community:
Every parent will have the knowledge, awareness, and skills to actively support their child(ren)’s education and literacy development.
Every child will graduate and have the knowledge, skills, problem solving ability, and lifelong learning attitudes to become contributing members of our society.
Every adult will have the knowledge, skills, awareness, and attitudes that enable them to envision, pursue, and achieve their goals.
Our Approach: We Focus on Family Literacy
We believe that a family literacy approach is the most effective way of achieving our vision of a 100% literate community.
TLC offers prevention, intervention, and enrichment services for families with children in Pre-K through 12th grade.
Our goal is to strengthen literacy skills for the family unit through tutoring, enrichment, and family literacy programs.
