DEDHAM, MA - A new multimedia learning center for all ages is set to open its doors this fall just outside Boston serving teachers, students and families. An initiative of the non-profit Reynolds Center for Teaching, Learning & Creativity(RC-TLC,) TLC Studios will include digital audio/video/animation production and live-streaming studios, a podcasting studio, AR/VR resources, an engineering design and fabrication Maker Lab, as well as state-of-the-art presentation space and professional development workshop space. The facility is being built out at 390 Washington Street in Dedham Square.

Led by New York Times best-selling author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds and his twin brother Paul Reynolds, TLC Studios will provide educators with professional development programs focused on creativity, digital media, storytelling, and maker skills.

"We’re thrilled to introduce TLC Studios as a space where educators can recharge their creative batteries and receive the support they need to nurture positive, purposeful creativity in their classrooms," said Paul Reynolds, co-founder and Executive Director of RC-TLC. "Creativity and innovation are essential skills for empowering students to become creative problem solvers and agents of positive change."
