First and foremost, the staff at Tender Years Daycare, Inc. strives to provide a safe and loving environment for the children entrusted to our care. We know how hard it is leaving your child with anyone, and we try our best to create the community and level of care that lets you do so with confidence. Your child will become part of our Tender Years Daycare family, where the children develop friendships with each other, and relationships with our staff. We believe strongly in a "l e a r n" to play philosophy, where children naturally acquire skills and knowledge they need, while having fun playing with peers, and through exploring their world around them. We'll set things in motion by providing a rich array of opportunities to develop all aspects of a well-balanced, growing child. By having a range of children from infants to pre-Kindergarten, all of the children benefit. The younger ones watch and learn from the older ones, and mimic their play and actions. The older ones learn to be gentle "leaders", and those who are close in age share developmental stages and grow together, from walking and talking, imaginative play, physical play such as running and bike-riding, dancing and dress-up to quietly looking at books together.
