Tender Loving provided part-time care for my toddler two days a week. Focus on social-emotional development clear, she shares toys better now and expresses feelings. Activities include creative art, sensory play, language stories. Teachers communicate progress at pickup. Walk-in flexibility helpful on occasion. Curriculum prepares well for preschool transition. Warm environment.
Tender Loving Early Learning Childcare took my 3-year-old full-time starting last fall. Teachers follow STEM curriculum with daily science experiments, building projects, and math games that keep him engaged. He advanced quickly in letters, numbers, and social skills. Monthly parent updates helpful. Highly recommend for quality preschool prep.
Registered both of my kids, ages 1 and 5. Immunization and forms were straightforward. Staff are qualified and nurturing. Payment process clear and secure.
My son has special needs, they accepted him and tailored support. Staff were patient, friendly, cost wasn't excessive, and he visibly flourished.
I would like to shout-out TLELC for their many years of excellent service to my family. This isn't your ordinary daycare, they strive on educating our youth while having tons of fun! I highly recommend this establishment. ❤️
