Recent parent reviews

  • As a first-time parent, finding a daycare I could truly trust was one of the hardest parts of starting this new chapter but Tender Care made the transition so easy. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, patient, and genuinely kind. You can tell they love what they do and care deeply for every child. The communication is excellent! They’re always quick to respond, and I never feel out of the loop. The Playground app is such a game changer! Getting photo updates and notes throughout the day brings me so much peace knowing my little one is happy, safe, and thriving. I’m so grateful to have found a daycare that feels like an extension of our family. Tender Care truly lives up to its name.
