Tilborg's PAS-phase, which stands for passion, action and satisfaction, was coined in the early 2000. The methodology reflects each individual's desire and its manifestation thereof. Felicia E.L. Tilborg, who describes herself as: "The educator of the 21st Century" has acknowledged that her theory best suits self-directed learners, highly skilled workers, learners with an exceptional/ extraordinary ability, and individuals with a broad understanding on modern day and global educational perspectives.

Transformation in Education
In 2007 Felicia E.L. Tilborg proposed a statement during a board meeting, which influenced the definition of "early learning" and gave it a complete new dimension. Tilborg argued that the words early learning center doesn't only refer to an educational site and care programs for children in their early years of life, but represents small constructive steps each person takes to achieve a particular goal. After quorum was reached, approval was granted in accordance with the childcare rules and regulations, to exclude several age restrictions at the Early Learning Center where Felicia E.L. Tilborg operated as the general manager. This led to expansion of the term and JC's Early Learning Center became an educational site to all who were willing to learn vocational skills in early childhood development (ECD).
SATISFACTION

Additionally Tilborg Education offered Family Management Centre, Inc. and JC's Early Learning Center, Inc. vouchers for 30 hours free childcare services per week with meals included to children of parent(s) in need. This solved a gap for job seekers who couldn't afford such services. Her initiatives and community development services resulted in hundreds of newely hired employees in Polk County, Florida.
