About Toddle Towne Learning Centers

Toddle Towne Learning Center (TTLC) was founded in 1967 and is still owned and operated by the same local educators. Rooted in our philosophy that children PLAY while they LEARN and LEARN while they PLAY, our interactive, creative, and well-rounded curriculum prepares each child for kindergarten and beyond. A custom-designed software program tailored to TTLC’s Basic Skills Curriculum tracks the key developmental milestones of each child. Every month you will receive your child’s personal progress plan detailing their development towards our current theme and skill goal focus.
