Lakeland's Lab School for Child Care, Preschool & Camps
Lakeland Community College's Teaching Learning Center (TLC) offers a variety of programs to Lakeland enrolled students and community members alike.
Our programs are designed with flexibility to fit the needs of your family and schedule. From full-time childcare to part-time preschool and summer STEAM camps, Lakeland's TLC provides developmentally appropriate education opportunities using discovery, guided exploration and play. Our approach is geared toward developing the "whole-child" to include social-emotional coping skills and life-skills, as well as physical and cognitive abilities.

Our educators are licensed to teach by the state of Ohio and hold an associate degree or higher in early childhood education or a related field of study. Our educators provide quality guidance through hands-on, engaging activities that excite children for learning.
