    About TL Childcare

    Our Philosophy

    TL Childcare believes in supporting the growth and development of each child as a unique individual. We believe in providing a nurturing, safe, and inclusive environment that fosters creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning.

    Our Curriculum

      Our center is using Experience Curriculum in all our classrooms starting the 1st week of July 2025! This curriculum is designed to enhance your child’s learning experience with hands on, engaging activities that foster creativity, critical thinking, and early childhood development.  What this means for your child: They’ll be participating in fun, interactive lessons that are designed to build key skills for their future. We’ll be using research based activities that support each child’s individual learning style and development. You’ll see more purposeful play and projects that encourage your child to explore and discover the world around them. We will also be sending home newsletters to keep you informed about what we’re covering in class and to share ideas on how you can continue learning at home. This way, you can engage with your child’s learning journey and reinforce key concepts together.   We are excited about this curriculum what it offers, and we know your child will benefit from the engaging lessons and materials. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the Experience Curriculum, feel free to reach out we will be happy to share more details with you. Thank you for your continued support!

    Our team of 30+ teachers at TL Childcare are dedicated professionals who are passionate about working with children. They are trained in child development and early childhood education and are committed to providing a high-quality learning experience for your child. 

    More About Us

    We are a Non- Profit

    TLC is a non-profit childcare facility that is community owned. The TLC board, which oversees operations, is comprised of 8 members who are Valley City Community members. They volunteer their time and expertise to serve on the board, and meet regularly to support the continued success of the daycare. The board appoints a Director and Assistant Director who manage daily operations of the daycare. TLC was founded years ago by a group of ambitious and passionate local individuals, and has been operating and serving families in the Valley City community for nearly 29 years! Yes, you heard that right, almost 3 decades of providing safe, affordable and reliable childcare. For 28 of those years, we operated out of the lower level of the St. Catherine's Catholic School until securing our “new to us” building in Oct of 2024, where we are currently located. 

    We thought this information could be helpful for family and community members who may not be aware of our history and longevity in this community. We aim to continue to provide safe, affordable and reliable childcare in a fun family-like environment for many more years to come.

    Thank you for being a part of the TLC family and to the community for supporting us throughout the years! 

    Our achievements

    We’re Proud to Be the Best of the Best!

    In addition to this honor, we also hold a Child Care Aware accreditation for Health & Safety and Space & Materials a distinction that reflects our commitment to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for every child.

    These recognition's are not easy to achieve, and we take great pride in the hard work and dedication it takes to maintain these high standards year after year.

    Thank you to our families and staff for being part of what makes TLChildcare truly exceptional!

     Infant and toddler care is so much more than just meeting basic needs. Our teachers work closely to create a nurturing environment that aligns with each child’s home routine, ensuring a smooth and comforting transition throughout the day.

    Our thoughtfully planned lesson activities promote growth in all areas—supporting fine and gross motor development, enhancing social and emotional skills, and engaging children in sensory and cognitive experiences. Children participate in a variety of activities, including independent play, small group interactions, and whole group learning. They also go outside daily to explore and build their physical skills.

    In our infant and toddler classrooms, strong, trusting relationships are built not only with the head and assistant teachers but also with support staff who regularly engage with the children.

    We provide a house formula and meals when your child is ready, to support your child's daily needs. Families are only asked to provide diapers or pull-ups and an extra change of clothes.
