As a parent, sending my son to school for the first time came with a lot of nerves and uncertainty. But from the moment he started at Tender Garden in September, those feelings quickly faded. His wonderful teacher, assistant teachers, Ms. Yvonne, Ms. Susan, and Ms. Lorri were ALL incredibly attentive, showing genuine care and understanding for his needs. Communication with all staff members was excellent. I was always informed if my child had a rough day, and it was clear that the staff took the proper steps to make sure his feelings were acknowledged and his voice was heard. That kind of care and emotional support meant the world to us. I was also so impressed with the academic growth my son made throughout the year. His confidence, curiosity, and love for learning have grown tremendously, thanks to the dedication and guidance of the Tender Garden team. My son also loved the enrichment program and always looked forward to the exciting fundraisers and school events that brought the community together. Although we’re sad to be saying goodbye, I know my son is leaving Tender Garden with the confidence, skills, and academic foundation he needs to succeed in kindergarten. We’re so grateful for this wonderful first school experience!

🌟 A Truly Exceptional Preschool - Tender Garden 🌟 As a parent, choosing the right preschool for my child is one of the most important decisions you can make — and I can confidently say that Tender Garden has been nothing short of a blessing for my family. From the very first day, the warmth, care, and dedication of the Tender Garden team have been evident. The teachers and staff are not only highly qualified but also incredibly nurturing and patient. They create an environment where every child feels safe, seen, and celebrated. What sets Tender Garden apart is their beautiful balance of play-based learning with meaningful structure. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and build confidence — all while meeting each child exactly where they are developmentally. My children have blossomed in ways we couldn’t have imagined — socially, emotionally, and academically. Every day they came home excited to share stories about their friends, the songs they sang, the art projects they created, and the new things they discovered. It’s clear that they feel genuinely happy and loved when they were at school. The communication from the staff is outstanding. We always felt informed, involved, and supported. It’s comforting to know that the entire Tender Garden team treats every child as if they were their own. If you’re looking for a preschool that combines warmth, quality education, and a true sense of community, Tender Garden is the place. I cannot recommend it enough — they have given our children the very best foundation to grow, learn, and thrive. Thank you, Mrs. Yvonne, Mrs. Susan, Mrs. Lori, Mrs. Nicole and all the teachers aids at Tender Garden, for creating such a magical and loving place for my little ones. You are truly one of a kind!

Our son just graduated from Tender Garden today and I have to say, we have nothing but good things to say about this school and all of his teachers! Everyone has been great all year and our son was always excited to go back the next day and learn and grow. Ms. Justine, Ms. Lori, and Ms. Jess were excellent teachers and were attentive and caring all year long. We cannot wait for our younger son to attend in a few years!

Today my son graduated UPK from Tender Garden & I couldn’t be happier with the experience that we have had with this prechool in the last 3 Years . We started here when my daughter got into UPK in 2022-2023 school year. She learned SO much and had the best experience I could ask for to prepare her perfectly for kindergarden. My son also went that year to the 2s Program. Not only did he also learn so much but it changed him, made him more comfortable on his own & confident in himself. We loved our first experience with the school so much that both kids went to camp at Tender Garden as well . My son continued with Tender Garden for the 3s Mini Day Program in 2023-2024. I again have NOTHING but amazing things to say about the teachers and staff and all they have done for my kids. My son went into UPK this past school year 2024-2025 and without hesitation we choose to keep him with Tender Garden. I am so thankful to have had such an amazing Preschool around the corner from home . Every single person who works here is beyond pleasant and they have taken care of my kids going above and beyond for the last 3 years. There is no possible negative things to be said about this school. They have prepared both of my children PERFECTLY as well as protected and been overly compassionate to my family always . We will always have a special place in our heart for Tender Garden 🫶🏻 Thank You for EVERYTHING ❤️
