Tippecanoe School Corporation has selected Tiffani Earley as coordinator of its new TSC Early Learning Center (TELC), a preschool for students with disabilities. Opening in August, the center will be located at 111 Walter Scholer Drive in Lafayette.
Earley serves as a kindergarten teacher at Cole Elementary School and brings 14 years of experience in education to the role. She holds a master's degree from Purdue University and her bachelor’s degree from Indiana University.
TELC will serve approximately 225 preschool students with disabilities, who are currently part of the Greater Lafayette Area Special Services (GLASS) program at various sites, including Linnwood Elementary in Lafayette.
Alyssa Hart, director of elementary special education, says the TELC coordinator will serve as the educational and instructional leader for the developmental preschool program. She says Earley stood out during the hiring process because of her experience and commitment to early childhood education.
“Tiffani’s passion for early childhood education and her experience working with students with diverse needs make her an excellent fit for this role,” Hart says. “She also brings a strong commitment to supporting families.”
"This is an important step in supporting our youngest learners and their families," says Superintendent Dr. Scott Hanback. "As we end our participation in GLASS, we are proud to bring these services in-house and build something that is uniquely TSC."
"This program is going to be an amazing foundation for children," says Earley. "It will be centered around inclusion and access for all, with highly-qualified staff, evidence-based curriculum and family input that will help prepare students as they continue their education."
“Families can expect guidance, a listening ear and someone who will adapt to best fit each student's needs," she says. "My door will be open and my heart will be happy to have each student in this program."
More information on the TSC Early Learning Center will be available on the TSC website soon.
