Mission: The TLLCCF was founded in August 1987 by Kay and Fred Lokoff to honor the memory of their daughter Terri who died tragically in a car accident in 1986.The TLLCCF is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization is dedicated to making America better by improving early care and education. Our role is to enhance the lives of children and child care teachers and providers in the child care community, and to heighten the awareness of the public to the need and definition of quality child care. We support nonprofit, nonsectarian childcare programs dedicated to excellence and raises awareness of the critical role high-quality early care and education plays in commerce and society. The TLLCCF’s funds have directly benefited thousands of children, program providers and students studying early care and education. The Foundation also recognizes and rewards teachers nationwide for excellence and dedication.
Results: 10+ Million of Dollars have been raised to support high quality child care. 893 Teachers, in 48 states have received the National Child Care Teachers Award to recognize outstanding child care professionals. Thousands of children, programs, providers and scholarships have directly benefited from funds over 31 years of making America better by improving the quality of early childhood education.
Target demographics: children ages 0-6 and early child care teachers
Programs: TLLCCF has been improving early care and education for 31 years by funding child care center enhancements, bringing cultural programs directly to child care centers, recognizing and honoring the best and brightest child care teachers, and informing the public as well as business and government leaders of the importance of high-quality care for young children. Our foundation is unique in that it does something that no other foundation does. We promote early childhood education and child care teachers. Early childhood education is the road that leads to a successful and productive life for our children. The money that we raise from contributions help us to provide significant benefits to all children – special needs, low income and children of abuse. It has been proven many times over that early child hood education greatly prepares children as they enter kindergarten and thereafter. Our Child Care Enhancement Grants help child care centers add new equipment to improve health and safety in the classroom and make positive changes to the curriculum. The program has served many needy, and outstanding child care centers in Pennsylvania with cots, blankets and so much more. The Enhancement Grants have also paid for professional development for child care teachers, provided scholarships through area Community Colleges. We have provided roofs, installed new heating systems and renovated classroom bathrooms. We are looking to expand the scholarships to at risk/ low income children who couldn’t otherwise attend a Pre-K program. The programs benefit all children with an emphasis on children that are at-risk of school failure. Research also tells us that children who benefit from high-quality care and education from birth through age five enter school prepared to learn, stay in school longer, hold higher paying jobs, commit fewer crimes, are less likely to need public assistance, require less special education service’s in school and grow up to be better citizens, earning higher wages than those not receiving the same level of early care and education. The Museums to Go program provides $500 to child care centers serving at-risk children and low-income families to bring cultural, art, music, theater and educational programs from outstanding local museums and institutions to the classroom. Recognizing the need to raise the status of child care teachers and the need for quality child care, we created the Terri Lynne Lokoff National Child Care Teacher Awards sponsored by Johnson & Johnson Children's TYLENOL® & Zyrtec. This award acknowledges the critical role of child care teachers in providing quality early care and education. Child care teachers from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and on U. S. Military bases and installations around the world are invited to apply.
