Dear Students and Families of Lincoln Learning Center, it’s Lights, Camera, Learning!

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! This year, our students will be the stars of their own learning adventure.

The LLC cast and crew have been working hard to get the building ready for another exciting season here at Lincoln Learning Center.

Just like in your favorite movies, there will be twists, challenges, laughter and “aha!” moments as our students learn new things and grow their talents.

The tide is rising and the excitement is building. Our crew at Rose Witcher is ready to set sail on another incredible school year filled with High Tide and Good Vibes!

Whether you’re a familiar face or new to our shores, we’re thrilled to welcome you aboard for what promises to be a memorable journey of learning, growing and making waves together. 

Saddle up for the 2025-26 school year at Hillcrest Learning Center.

We are super excited to meet our “cowboys and cowgirls” and engage in some “hats off” experiences as students “blaze their new learning trail” at Hillcrest. We are enthusiastically screaming yeehaw and are ready to start another year to ensure every student’s academic achievement and inspire excellence. 

Our staff has been busy preparing our school to meet our “dandy” Head Start, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students.
