Our Awards
When I moved to Massachusetts eleven years ago, I was very fortunate to start my career as a teacher here at TLC. TLC welcomed me, and I felt immediately at home with TLC's strong sense of community. Although I arrived with a school psychology background, TLC supported my efforts to get my teachers license. Since then, I have been fortunate to have the support and opportunity to progress both professionally and personally into becoming the principal of the early childhood and elementary programs.
