2. Before care enrollment is 195, after care is 245, with a total enrollment of 311.

4. TLC family nights continue to be a huge success. At the end of last year we created a small committee to help organize community building events.
5. This school year we are hosting nine studio schools teaching candidates from UMSL. This program puts the students in our school for the entire year. We are providing them with PD sessions on curriculum and character in hopes that this can be a pool of candidates we may consider hiring when vacancies arise.
