What the Community is Saying!
A Unique and Much-Needed Institute.
By Design Learning Centre (BDLC) gives our kids the individual attention and support that children need in their formative years. It's true that it takes a village to raise a child; the staff partners with us to ensure holistic growth. Each of our children receive the help they need on areas of opportunities and is encouraged to excel in areas where they are strong. We like that kids are given the opportunity to learn beyond basic academics (example- project based learning, exposure to coding, farming etc.) We strongly appreciate and support BDLC's values which assures us that our children are safe. Finally, at BDLC, Christ is the centre of all things, which is invaluable in the upbringing of our children, in the times that we live in. By Design Learning Centre has been and continues to be a blessing to our family.
