🌱SANDY SPRINGS LOCATION

 TLC parents often have questions about key issues in early childhood like age-appropriate speech development, picky eaters, sleep training, or discipline issues.  To help provide resources, TLC arranges for expert presentations by licensed child therapists and psychologists.  These FREE Parent Coaching classes allow parents to learn tips and tricks from trained specialists.  All classes are held via Zoom.

They are called "Keeping It Real" Parent Coaching Classes because we want to share REAL problems and solutions, not "looks good on paper" jargon that doesn't work.   

For very young children to receive the BEST care, we believe the ideal place for infants is at home, with a nanny-share, or in a small family childcare setting.  This maximizes development and one-on-one time while minimizing germ exposure.  

However, we also understand the difference between ideology and reality.  Many families need to return to full time work.  We do NOT believe a group setting is best practice for raising extremely young children, and instead highly recommend organizations like Care.com to locate quality in-home caregivers, babysitters, or nannies.

 While we strive to meet the needs of each individual child and family,  state licensing prohibits Georgia childcares from 'forcing OR withholding' naps, food, and toileting.

TLC's policy DOES permit a cuddly blanket, three books, and one soft nap toy on each cot to set the mood. Teachers begin by playing relaxing music (Enya causes narcolepsy!) for a period of time, then switch to audio stories to engage non-nappers. This dual approach allows children (if sleeping) to relax and recharge or (if resting) to enhance their listening skills and imagination. Our nap-mosphere is the best of both worlds!
