Nurturing Bright Futures in the Rio Grande Valley
A Warm Welcome from Our Founder
Greetings to all families and visitors,
I’m Yvonne Morales, M.Ed., the heart and soul behind The Children’s College Learning Center. Born and raised in the vibrant community of Rio Grande Valley, my journey in education and child development has been fueled by a profound commitment to making a difference in the early years of children’s lives.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in English, a minor in Psychology, and a Master’s in School Guidance and Counseling from The University of Texas Pan American, my educational path has equipped me with a deep understanding of child development, parenting styles, and the essentials for nurturing successful learners.
Before founding The Children’s College Learning Center, I dedicated years to teaching and counseling within our community, from McAllen ISD to UTPA and IDEA Academy. These experiences have not only honed my skills but also deepened my dedication to creating a child care and learning center that stands apart in its commitment to quality, nurturing, and education.
Choosing TCCLC means entrusting your child to a team that views education as a partnership between teachers, children, and parents. We are here to support your child’s growth, curiosity, and joy in learning, laying a foundation that benefits them throughout their educational journey and beyond.
Thank you for considering The Children’s College Learning Center as a part of your family’s journey. We are excited to welcome you and your child into our community, where together, we can achieve wonderful milestones.
Warmest regards,
Yvonne Morales, M.Ed.
Founder, The Children’s College Learning Center
