The TLC Philosophy
Our motto at The Learning Center, “You Can Never Have Too Much Happy”, is made possible by partnering with families to provide the ultimate tender, loving care for children. It is a place where happiness and joy can be seen and heard. It is where children grow and learn. Our staff and families work together to create excitement about investigating new experiences, and building lifelong learners. We believe in hands-on learning because children learn best by doing.
The Learning Center is a child care center where families are an integral part of their child’s journey and success. We offer opportunities for learning, not only for the children, but for the staff and parents as well. The Learning Center is a community of families...your child's "home away from home".

Meet the Owner
My name is Liz Prior and I am the Owner/ Executive Director at The Learning Center (TLC). I have over 30 years of experience as a director of child care centers. I directed centers in Santa Monica, California from 1990-1997, and in Mercer County, New Jersey from 1997-2014.
During those years, I facilitated the opening of five new child care centers, taught Child Development Classes, served on the board of the local NAEYC group, as well as the Advisory Committee for Becker School Supplies. I am also the recipient of the NJ Statewide Coalition for Child Care Professional Development Award.
I am so grateful that I am able to be a part of a community that includes fantastic children, their incredibly supportive families, and our wonderful, dedicated staff.
