Our History:

TLC has been in operation since April, 1987. Since that time services have been provided to a substantial number of children and their families. Some residents return to their own families, some are discharged to independent living and others remain at TLC through high school and the first couple of years of college and are given assistance with college and/ or work plans. TLC was the 1990 Connecticut Youth Service Association Program of the year. TLC is the quiet gem and success story that could only have happened because of the support of Town of Manchester and the belief of its Board of Education.

TLC has had a wonderful year. Because of the support of The Manchester Board of Education and The Town of Manchester we have been able to help twelve children and their families this year. Two have graduated from high school, two are living independently on their own, and three have been transitioned successfully back home.

Regardless of how long a child stays at TLC, we provide a safe home while allowing them to continue with their education and thrive in the community.
