Ensuring a healthy future starts with safeguarding the present. From ages 4 to 18, immunizations play a crucial role in protecting against a range of preventable diseases. Whether it's routine vaccinations to fortify against common illnesses or specialized shots for specific health risks, staying up-to-date with immunizations is paramount. By fostering a shield of immunity during these formative years, we empower our children to thrive, learn, and explore the world with confidence, free from preventable diseases. Join us at IDEA Los Encinos !!

Hello TL families,

If your child is pending immunizations, Pro Care is hosting a vaccine clinic Monday, May 6th at our campus. Please read the flyer below for more information. Thank you

Good morning TL families,

Tomorrow, we will go live with the gate! We are so excited about this safety and security measure we have wanted for the past 7 years. As a reminder, the main gate and side gate (walkers) will close at 8 AM. It is imperative that your child is here prior to 7:45 AM to avoid gate closure and to keep from being marked tardy. Once the main and side gates close, you will have to buzz the front office and go through some security questions before it opens. You must also get down and sign your child in as this is our campus protocol. Once you complete these steps, you will need to exit via the west side. We are asking our families to have some patience during this first week as we navigate our new process. Always remember that at TL, safety for all on campus comes first!

Good afternoon amazing TL families,
