The Learning Center

The Learning Center (TLC) is a preschool that exists to ensure that local teen parent children, as well as other community children,  are ready to enter Kindergarten on-level. 

TLC is a part of CYM's Fresh Start Programs, which include job training.  Teen parents can use the facility when they are attending Fresh Start programs. 

The priority is for children of teen parents, however there are slots available for paying parents.  If you are interested in placing your child in a safe, educational environment, call Criselda Padron, the TLC Director at 559.638.1153.  We currently accept children ages 2 to 5 years old.

Children of teen parents are 50% more likely to repeat a grade, are less likely to graduate high school, and score lower on standardized tests.

TLC is working to

make sure these children do not become a statistic by ensuring the best possible learning environment for these amazing kids.
