The Learning Pavilion

The Learning Pavilion The Learning Pavilion, a Smart-Play Preschool offering an inclusive environment for all abilities.

The Learning Pavilion (Formerly The Dick Howser Center for Childhood Services, Inc.) is a non-profit agency that began in 1974 as a small parent group in Tallahassee. We create an inclusive, nurturing environment for children with varying gifts and abilities. Encourage development of each child’s self-esteem and personal independence. Minimize the effects of disabilities through early intervention

, education, developmental pre-school, family support, therapy and other community-based services. We want to foster children and focus on the “whole child” by helping them grow and learn effectively through developmental play. Through the implementation of the Creative Curriculum and Conscious Discipline the children at our center use their natural curiosity to learn, grow, and develop in the best learning environment. Children with special needs are provided physical, occupational, & speech therapy services by therapists specializing in pediatrics. Services are provided an atmosphere of partnership involving the individual, family members, teachers, therapists, board members, and other human services agencies and organizations. Children who are at risk, or have disabilities, DESERVE a place like TLP where they can flourish and thrive…

Our team of teachers took on the ELC “Magical Minds” Conference and we’re bringing the magic right back to our classrooms. ✨

Team TLP showed up with joy, professionalism, and serious team spirit—and it didn’t go unnoticed. Every idea, every connection, every spark of inspiration comes back to our kiddos, helping them grow, explore, and shine every single day. 🎉🌟

Did you know that egg decorating and hunts may look like fun (and it is!), but it’s also creativity, problem-solving, and social skills in action… the kind of learning that helps create skills for future success. And that’s what we do here!
