Welcome

We at Hincks-Dellcrest greatly enjoyed and benefited from participating in TLC³. This website is designed to share, as far as possible, the process and learnings of this project with you.

The TLC³ Project was a national prevention initiative designed to enhance language and cognitive development in the context of early relationships in children from birth to five years of age. TLC³ was implemented in seven sites across Canada from 1997 to 2002. TLC³ funding was not intended to establish entirely new programs but rather to support program enhancement of existing community-based child care/early learning programs. Each site evaluated the outcomes of their programming.

The specific goals of TLC³ were to enhance the cognitive and language development of children from birth to five years; to increase the awareness and skills of the families and service providers who participated; to stimulate and facilitate similar activities in the local, regional and provincial communities.
