Kids Like Us Community Learning Center was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2017. The mission of KLU was to create an organization where everyone fits, with parent involvement highly encouraged. Our goal is to support the needs within the community. We offer a variety of opportunities that include:

  • Early Learning Center: ages 6 wks - 5 yrs

  • KLU Academy (Before/Afterschool Program): ages 5-12 yrs

  • Open Door Program (Adult Day Services): ages 18+

Kids Like Us works one-on-one with kids and young adults whose needs may not be met by regular public schools, but we welcome all children and adults of all ages.  We offer programs for all ages with those who have different abilities, ranging from as young as 6 weeks to adulthood. Our goal is for all kids and young adults to grow into self-sufficient individuals. There is something for everyone and always an opportunity to make a difference within our programs. Please check out  our “Ways to Support Us” tab for opportunities. Additional information can be found under each program section on our home page.

There will be additional classes offered to those who may attend KLU full time. These will be listed on our website. If you would like to receive notices of these opportunities, please make sure you register for our newsletter. 

Partnerships is a very large piece of KLU. We have partnerships with local colleges and many other organizations, including:

  • Tennessee Early Intervention

  • Department of Human Services

  • TN Voices Program

  • Sullivan County Health Department

  • Washington County Health Department

  • Carter County Health Department

  • United Way of Bristol

  • State of Tennessee Establishment Grant

Partnerships help our programs grow and offer more services to the community and families. However, without Impact Community Center, it would have taken us several years to be able to fund these programs. We greatly appreciate the opportunity that we have been given by ICC and hope to continue to grow with them in the future. 

We invite you to come out and take a tour of the center and welcome any questions you may have. Please contact us for more details. We look forward to hearing from you.
