Training Wheels, TIMS

Training Wheels, TIMS is a full-service comprehensive brand dedicated to supporting the educational, recreational and career needs of adults who support children in the community. Training Wheels, TIMS will maintain a high quality of customer satisfaction by providing extended instructional services, consistent delivery, and establishing a welcoming environment that is conducive to full participant engagement. We believe that when teachers are exposed to and taught to use innovative, researched-based, instructional practices, and are supported as they master these strategies through purposeful, on-going professional development and learning, we will begin to finally realize improvement in student outcomes.

Our Mission:

  • To help you learn more about yourself, where you want to go, and how to get there

Our Motto:

  • Strengthen and Build Leadership through Education

The Buzz of a Busy Classroom

Resources

The timing is right for an educational venture that maintains a level of professionalism that can only be accomplished through commitments founded in integrity, accountability, and a real sense of goal achievement. The demands ringing throughout the city and the nation for viable educational programming, has led Training Wheels, TIMS to branch out independent of the tried and often failed educational mores of the day.
