While the 2025-26 school year is underway, The Literacy and Learning Center is excited to announce that its comprehensive, free educational programs are still open for new student enrollment.

As a cornerstone of the Macon County community, TL&LC remains dedicated to providing high-quality learning opportunities for individuals of all ages.

The Center’s youngest students begin with the Pre-K program, which runs Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to noon. This program provides a nurturing and engaging environment where children learn through meaningful play, building a solid foundation for lifelong success within a supportive community.

For older students, TL&LC offers its renowned After-School program. Students in grades K-3 receive homework assistance and participate in educational activities Monday through Friday.

This program is enhanced by valuable partnerships with local nonprofits, including The Bascom, Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust, Highlands Biological Foundation, Highlands-Cashiers Hospital, Hudson Library, and the Highlands Fire Department. A concurrent program for students in grades 4-8 also meets Monday through Friday, providing crucial support with homework, research, and curriculum comprehension.

The Center’s commitment to academic achievement extends to personalized support through individual tutoring. This one-on-one assistance is available to students of any age and in any subject, ensuring every learner receives the focused attention necessary to reach their full potential.

TL&LC looks forward to another year of fostering academic growth and remains a vital resource for the community. Registration is still open for all programs.
