Little Me Learning Center (LMLC) officially earns the prestigious Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation from the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). The CAC designation is awarded to organizations that complete autism-specific training and certification for their staff, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to serve neurodivergent individuals effectively. This achievement underscores LMLC’s dedication to delivering high-quality, individualized care tailored to autistic children.
Founded by Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas, parents of a child on the autism spectrum, Little Me Learning Center was born from a deep understanding of the emotional and financial challenges faced by families. Since opening its doors in 2023 in Cavite, Philippines, the center has become a safe haven where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
“We understand the unique challenges families face because we’ve been through them ourselves,” says Mrs. Nicholas, co-founder of LMLC. “This certification reaffirms our commitment to providing an inclusive and supportive environment for all children, helping them shine in their own way.”
With its mission, “Where Little Minds Shine!”, LMLC creates a nurturing environment that empowers children to discover their potential while fostering creativity, social skills, and cognitive development.
“We are thrilled to partner with Little Me Learning Center as they join a growing network of Certified Autism Centers™ around the world.” says Myron Pincomb, IBCCES board chairman. “Their dedication to specialized training and inclusive education reflects the core mission of IBCCES—to create accessible spaces where neurodivergent individuals can thrive. LMLC’s commitment sets a strong example for educational institutions striving to make a meaningful impact in their communities.”
To further support inclusivity efforts, Little Me Learning Center will be featured on the IBCCES Accessibility App, which is free to download. This app provides individuals with a variety of disabilities real-time guidance on certified destinations, sensory-friendly spaces, and tailored recommendations. By connecting users to accessible locations worldwide, the app helps ensure seamless, enjoyable experiences for everyone.
IBCCES also provides access to resources such as CertifiedAutismCenter.com and AutismTravel.com, free online tools for families that list certified locations and professionals. Each organization listed on the site has met Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) requirements.
