What we do

NLC is a highly motivational and positive program. We are here to make the connection in every way possible. There are a variety of ways each child learns best. We find the learning style best suited for your child whether it be kinestheticly, verbally, or visually. We incorporate fine and gross motor skills to enhance the learning style to expedite the learning process. The bottom line is that whatever it takes, we make it happen!

NLC was founded in 2005 for the support of our community. When a child is struggling, a series of conflicted feelings occur. It can lower self esteem and bewilder a child's self confidence. Here at NLC we find the good and build from there. It is a fun and intense place to come!

Reading - The reading workshop is designed primarily for kindergarten through third grades. It promotes self- confidence in the mastery of sounds, blends, word endings, word families, oral reading and comprehension. All of this is accomplished through a fun and hands on way.

Math - One group is primarily for the concepts of addition and subtraction. (first and second grade) The second group is primarily multiplication and division. (third, fourth, fifth grade) Workshops are differentiated ensuring long term memorization vs. short term. The math workshop also includes time for students to work on any specific math skill that is frustrating them. Along with these basic skills and strategies, we also reinforce that grade’s standards.

Writing Workshops - These are usually conducted on Saturday afternoons from twelve to two. Writing workshops emphasize the ability to write a themed paper in a specific amount of time. It is primarily to learn the writing prompt given for ISTEP. We use actual ISTEP material from previous years.
