As per TLC policies, youll kindly agree to store your cell phone in your locker during working hours. We dont think its too much to ask to be fully present while in the presence of little ones! Class time will be a mix of free play, outdoor time, rest, ageappropriate learning, healthy foods, and community involvement. Set your social butterfly free while helping the classroom ECE organize local excursions and seek out opportunities for children to participate in and contribute to community events Love reading?
