Xiomara C.I have been working at TCLC for just over 17 years, and it has become more than a job for me. It is more like my extended family.

Bethel Park
I have worked for Tender Care four and half years now. It has been rewarding and eventful. I enjoy working in the infant room. The babies make me laugh and bring me much joy. The parents are nice and I am able to have conversations with them not only about their child, but about how their days were and many events in their lives. The staff here is great. We not only work well together but we enjoy working as a team. I love my job. I can honestly say that it is not just a job. It is entertaining and exciting.
Erin H.I love working with my fellow teachers! Anytime you are in need of help or have a question, someone is always willing and able to assist.
NicoleDuring my time at Tender Care I have met many wonderful children, families and teachers. I have learned my new things and each day is a new adventure. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to teach and have my own children attend the Bethel Park Tender Care!

Being close to my kids, checking on them… Sharing them with people I personally know will take good care of them. When I get frustrated from anything, management staff will try to help as much as they can to make me feel better.
SohaI absolutely love working in the infant room. My coteachers are wonderful! We work so well together implementing new curriculum ideas to enrich the young minds of our infants. Nothing beats seeing their smiling faces in the morning, and they are as excited to see us as we are to see them.
Amanda K.Working at Tender Care has been a great experience. Everyday is different and fun. All the children and their families are wonderful and a joy to work with.
Faith G.The work and experience I am gaining from Tender Care is great. I learn so much every time I work. I love the staff and the children I work with. They are all great. I would suggest working at Tender Care to anyone.
Britney M.This is my first ever fulltime job. I really enjoy the work at Tender Care. The kids we work with are great and the staff is wonderful. I have learned so much and continue to grow each day. I would recommend working at Tender Care to anyone.
Chelsea M.I work with a great group of teachers who are amazing. The families I see on a daily basis are kind and thoughtful.
Kiley K.All of my coteachers and managers are awesome. The company is so supportive! It is amazing how all of our schools are so different, but we are all working for the same goal.
Alexandra G.I have enjoyed working at Tender Care Learning Centers for the last five years. The company has given me many opportunities to grow as a teacher and professional in the field of early childhood education. I love every minute I have teaching the children and learning with them. The families are fantastic and my coworkers inspire me every day to be a better educator.
Wendy S.While working with the infants for the past six years, I take great joy in their smiling faces and their anticipation of seeing me. Watching them grow before my eyes are truly remarkable. The family appreciation I have received over the past nine years is what makes me feel like I have made a difference in their child’s life. This is what drives me to continue my work here at Tender Care Learning Centers.
Amanda KI began working for Tender Care in 2016 and immediately felt like I had found a position that I would be very happy with for a long time. My schooling is in Early Childhood Education so I have spent time in other child care centers and thought I had a good idea of what to expect. The director of my initial center was welcoming and made me feel like a part of the “family”. The overall feel Tender Care was very different in some ways from the experiences I had previously had. At Tender Care there is a lot of focus on training and education. They work hard to ensure that their teachers are educated in current information and techniques. I was very impressed with the curriculum they use in their centers and how hard the teachers work to implement both it and the STEAM program. Everyone I worked with was so helpful and willing to give me advice and answer any questions I had. I genuinely loved the experience I had working at my first Tender Care center and when personal circumstances arose that needed my attention full time it was incredibly difficult to make the decision to say goodbye (temporarily I hoped).
Three months later the things that needed my attention resolved themselves and I reached out to Tender Care to see if they might consider having me return. I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to return to the company, though at a different center. My experiences at my second center have been just as positive as they were at my first. I have been made to feel like I never left like my presence is appreciated every day, and like I am a part of a company that truly wants to educate children in the best way possible so that they are more than ready to begin their school years prepared for anything that comes their way. My fellow teachers are so passionate about what they do that it makes going to work every day something I look forward to. I would recommend Tender Care to anyone looking for quality care for their child and believe in the company so much that I look forward to my own child becoming a part of the “family” there.

East Granby
I think one of the best parts about coming to TCLC each day is that it feels welcoming, almost like a home. Each day I come in, everyone says good morning. The children run up to me for a hug. I work with people I enjoy and Ms. Bridget is fantastic to work for and is refreshingly positive and understanding. Not another center I would work for.
Amanda B.The parents in our building are so friendly. They greet everyone in the morning and tell everyone to have great nights and weekends even if they don’t know the person. They also thank us as teachers and seem to be very appreciative.
Brianna J.While working on my masters, I decided to come back and work alongside Bridget, Katie, and the East Granby team because I knew this was a place where I was valued and encouraged to grow, just like our kids here at Tender Care. I enjoy working with this team of encouraging women.
Erin F.I enjoy working at this school because everyone makes you feel at home while you’re there. Everyone greets you with a smile, teachers and parents, and makes you enjoy coming to school everyday.
An East Granby TeacherI enjoy working at this school because every morning when you walk in, you feel love from everybody. Every parent makes you feel so welcomed. All the teachers are great to work with. They also make everyone so comfortable. It’s doesn’t feel like work when you show up everyday.
An East Granby TeacherAt the East Granby Center, one of the biggest benefits is working with a team that is so supportive and helpful. It has been amazing to watch the children and families grow and move up to the next stages and classrooms. When I started, some of the little ones in my room were saying their first words and now they are talking sentences and singing entire songs.
An East Granby TeacherOne of the greatest benefits I have experienced while working at the East Granby location is the opportunity to watch our children grow from the infant room all the way to prekindergarten. It warms my heart when a fouryear old asks me to sing the same song I sang to them when they were only two.
An East Granby TeacherI love working at the East Granby Tender Care. The atmosphere created by teachers and families here is amazing. It makes coming to work more like being around family. There are so many fun activities that are happening in each classroom, which makes me so happy that my daughter will get to go to school here too!
Katie G.Working at Tender Care at East Granby has helped me grow in my teaching career. With the support of my managers and my coworkers, I have accomplished many of my career goals. I love that TC promotes its teachers as early education professionals. At our school in E. Granby, we work hard to provide the best education and care in a fun environment. One of my favorite things about working in East Granby is our Annual Fall Festival.
Joanna G.I enjoy working with the children helping them grow and achieve a challenging task at hand, building professional relationships with students and their parents. I am proud to provide a safe, warm, learning environment where my students can learn through play discovery and grow into accomplishing young minds. I also have the pleasure of working with such nice, friendly coworkers and in a friendly positive atmosphere, where we work hard as a team to provide the best nurturing environment where our students can achieve academic success.
An East Granby TeacherThe thing I love most about working for TCLC is how much the staff cares not only for the children, but for each other. I had a family emergency; everyone did all that they could to allow me to get to the hospital quickly. While I was out, they stayed in contact with me to make sure I didn’t need anything when I got back.

Green Tree
I love being a part of the Tender Care Green Tree family. I have two children that love going to school each and every day. They have learned so much in the 2 years that they have been there. Each of the teachers brings something different to the classrooms, and they all make my kids feel special. The thing that I love most is the open atmosphere. Every teacher knows each child, and each child knows every teacher!
J.K.Working as a teacher at the Green Tree location has been a wonderful experience for me. I have been able to grow personally as an educator while supporting others as they grow into lifelong learners. Our school is one of the smallest Tender Care locations, because of this all of the children and teachers are able to form strong relationships with each other. It’s difficult to imagine being at any other school.
Amanda Q.I love working at the Green Tree Tender Care. It's a very small center, in fact I believe it is the smallest Tender Care, but it keeps everyone close knit and connected to one another. I feel as though all of the teachers are very close to one another, like family. When I started back in February, everyone was very welcoming and friendly and made me feel right at home. Beth and Michelle are awesome to work for; you can see the passion they have for the children and staff. I have worked in several childcare centers and each one has given me different experiences all of which have been great for all different reasons! All of the families at Green Tree are all amazing! We all have open communication with the families which makes our daily tasks run more smoothly. Most importantly the children make the environment fun and exciting and teach us new things every day! I love working at the Green Tree location and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Meagan A.What I like about Tender Care Green Tree is that we are a small center. It is a family like atmosphere where all the children know the teachers and the teachers know all the children. I have been in this field for a very long time and have been at many different centers, I have finally found a place that I feel I can be myself. It is a breath of fresh air to walk into your job knowing you are welcome no matter who you are and what crazy quarks you may have! We also work together as a team and not only bounce ideas off of one another but support each other with lesson plan ideas or how to work with a specific child. Feed off of one another. That is why I love working at Tender Care in Green Tree, we are truly a family.
Keisha J.Tender Care Learning Centers in Green Tree is an amazing place to work. Being the smallest Tender Care we are proud to create a family like atmosphere, our teachers know every single child and the families trust all the teachers to care for their children. I love how we have a great team of teachers that get along so well and truly enjoy working with children. This is an incredibly supportive atmosphere and from the top down you can feel that. I feel valued not only as an employee but as a person. I could not see myself doing anything else!

Working in a caring, professional environment is refreshing! Support is always given when needed and new trainings are offered all the time.
Jennifer M.When people ask me how and why I do what I do for a living, I simply tell them it is because of the amazing people I work for and with on a daily basis, and the eight cute little faces that brighten up my life when I walk in my room everyday. Not many can say that they love their job, but with an honest heart, I can 100% say I love what I do and am so thankful that I can come to work at Tender Care every day!
Marisa M.When I first started almost two years ago, I was still in college and relatively new to the field. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Since being here I have not only grown as a teacher, but as a person and I have all my mentors at Tender Care to thank for that!
Candace P.I love the community/family feeling of our school. Every teacher is welcoming and has so much to offer to our students. Our families I feel are so appreciative of our training, educational backgrounds, and true love of children. When I come to work everyday, I know that I am among wonderful people and we all have the same goal: being the best we can be as teachers and having fun with the children as they learn and play.
Stephanie P.I have loved my experience at Tender Care Learning Center. I have been a PreK teacher for almost nine years and have enjoyed every minute of it. As a teacher, I appreciate the positive and caring environment not only for the children and families but for the teachers as well. We have excellent guidance from the Director and Assistant Director and the families we work with are very supportive and involved with their child’s development.

Hampton
I have worked for Tender Care Learning Centers in Hampton for almost eight years. My time here has flown by watching the infants grow into preschoolers. I have watched them take their first step, comforted them when they were sad, and listened to their first words. I hope my babies know that I have loved them and hope that I have touched their hearts in some way, as they have most definitely touched mine!
Lori Z.Working at Tender Care Learning Centers has been the best job experience I have ever had. I was a stay at home mom and needed to find a way to work and be sure that my daughter would be taken care of. Tender Care in Hampton gave me this opportunity. I knew this would be a great fit for my daughter because when I was younger I attended Tender Care, however, I never thought this job would have such an effect on me. I never knew what I wanted as a career, and I had tried almost everything. The one thing I did not try was childcare. Within a month of working for Tender Care, I decided to go back to school and further my knowledge in the Early Childhood field. I am currently enrolled and earning my Degree in Early Education and Child Development.
Now, I look forward to coming to work each and every day. I am eager to learn more things and use my knowledge that I am gaining from my education. I always thought it would be me teaching the children things they needed to know, but what I didn’t expect is that they also teach me! I have learned to enjoy all the little things in life and have a much greater appreciation for the experiences I get to have. Every day is a new experience and I wouldn’t trade this for anything!
My name is Emily, and I have been working at the Hampton Tender Care Learning Centers for three years. I was hired right out of college. When I decided to go back to school to earn my Master’s Degree in Education, my director and assistant director were very supportive and helpful. I have enjoyed being able to work in every room and getting to know all the students in the school. I am very grateful to Tender Care for giving me my start in the education world!

I have worked at Tender Care Learning Center for eleven years as a Preschool/PreK teacher. I have grown so much as an educator in those eleven years. Tender Care has offered so many educational tools to help me develop and grow as a teacher. I enjoy watching the children in my class grow from the beginning of the year until they graduate. I love my coworkers as well. The staff is friendly and helps each other, my coworkers have become more like family. This makes coming to work a pleasure. Tender Care also provides its staff with great benefits. It is one of the only child cares around that offers 401k, insurance and bonuses that reward the hard work we put in as teachers. They take care of you. Tender Care is a place that is flexible and works with you. There are many opportunities for you to advance as an employee. I am proud to say that I work at Tender Care and that we provide quality care and education to children.
Jamie ZI have worked at Tender Care Learning Center for 8 years. I first started as a floater and then began working in the Young Toddler room. I have learned a lot from working here, from all the different trainings we do each year to how to best teach the children that come through my room. I love the work environment here and all of the people I work with. I am thankful for working here because I have not only grown as a teacher but also a person.
Jenna VI have been a teacher at Tender Care Learning Center for eight months. I have a degree in Elementary Education and am so happy that I decided to work in this environment. Tender Care is a wonderful place; the directors and teachers are exceptional and I am proud to be part of the team. The hours are flexible and I do not ever feel like I am going to work. I learn something new every day and am happy to share my day with everyone here. I look forward to seeing the children and their families, talking with them, sharing stories and special events. It has been a learning experience as well. The professional development classes and opportunities to continue to grow as a teacher are a fantastic benefit. I am very grateful to be part of the Tender Care family.

Jefferson
I love working for a company that strives to be #1 in all aspects of their market. Keystone Stars, NAEYC, education, health and safety, and professionalism are all priority #1. Jefferson has a real “family” atmosphere. My children and I spend just as much time here as they do at home – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The relationships they have made with their teachers and peers are priceless. Working here has led me to the opportunity to obtain my Director’s Credential Certificate as well as begin my master’s degree through Edinboro University.
MeganMy bosses are amazing. They respect and appreciate the work I do as a teacher. Also, our families are wonderful. They are involved with their children and participate in many of our family events. It really does feel like an extended family.
Mary AnnI am very new to the Tender Care family, but everyone is very open, nice and helpful. I felt like I was welcomed with open arms to a family. The children, families and staff are very helpful and nice.
AdrienneThe teachers here work really well on having the children learn, anything from ABC’s, 123’s, their names, colors, etc. It really gets the children ready for school, and from having my own come to this school, I know from experience!
LisaI started about 4.5 months ago and as soon as I started I felt welcomed and it was so easy to feel at home. It was like a shoe, a good fit. Now I feel like I have been here longer than 4.5 months and staff all feel like my family. Anything life throws at you, they are all there for you. The directors are awesome, and they do their best to work the daily schedule around life events. They also lend you a helping hand with the children and, when needed, they step in the class when staff need a break. We have very nice parents and fun children. Children have lots to do, including outdoor play. The small children I work with love to dance, color, paint and play in the learning centers provided here. So when it is all said and done, this is a great place to work.
AndreaI love that all our teachers really care about each other and our families. It’s not just a job, it’s their lives and a career. When push comes to shove, we come together and get things done.
PamTender Care is a fun place to work and Megan and Char are flawless with my schedule so I can spend time with my family.
DeniseI am happy to be working at a school that works hard to achieve NAEYC and Keystone Stars.
A Jefferson TeacherI love the freedom I have to make lesson plans related to my student’s interests and abilities. My bosses treat me with respect and appreciate my skills as a teacher.
MelissaI recently celebrated my 1 year anniversary as an employee here at Tender Care. Though it’s only been a year, I was immediately treated like family by my peers and the families we serve. A solid foundation for education begins for a child when families and /teachers work together to establish goals, identify expectations, and share milestones and memories with one another. The Tender Care family models that solid foundation for learning. I love the family environment that has been created by the children, teachers, and families! Positive relationships = positive experiences; not only for your child but for teachers too!
Carrie HunterTender Care facilitates a professional working environment where I receive quality training and my thoughts and concerns are heard by management. Every coworker and manager treats me like family. Everyone is valued and management goes above and beyond to make each and every one of us feel appreciated. The staff really has a heart for each individual child and facilitating meaningful learning experiences. I am so proud to say that I work here.
KatieTender Care has given me the opportunity to teach early education in a fun and positive environment. I starting working for Tender Care after completing my college internship and completing my Associate's degree. I immediately fell in love with the children, their families, and the staff. Tender Care has assisted in helping me further my education by accommodating my hectic college schedule which allowed me to finish my Bachelor's degree. I enjoy working in the early education field and Tender Care understands the importance of a good, quality education to support early childhood development.
AmandaI’ve been with Tender Care for 2 ½ years and am so thankful to be part of this “big family.” Everyone works together and is focused on child development and learning! Tender Care is a huge proponent of furthering your education and has been very accommodating to me while I finished my degree. Our professional development days give the teachers time to focus on new techniques/practices so that the children in our care can expand their knowledge and development. I enjoy teaching the children and watching them accomplish new things each day! I am proud to work for such a great place that has fantastic support and families!

I have worked at many centers but never stayed at one as long as I have at TCLC. The staff feels like a familywe laugh, cry and work together. When one of us is struggling, the rest of us truly pitch in to lend support even if it isn’t work related. The staff has helped me raise my two kids, and they refer to the other teachers with great fondness, and often beg to visit them.
MeganI have been teaching at Tender Car Learning Centers’ since 1996. I have had some amazing children and cannot believe my first toddler class is already in college. I think of all of my coworkers as family. We celebrate during the happy times and feel each other’s pain during the sad times. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my coworkers and director made it very clear that whatever I needed, they would be there for me. I can remember walking onto work one Monday morning overwhelmed with support. It left me speechless. I’m not sure if other childcare schools would do this for their employees. It is my goal to make the families at Tender Care to feel a sense of belonging, like I feel!
Jodi SI have been in the teaching profession for over 30 years with the last 9 at Tender Care. Working at Tender Care gives me the opportunity to see my work in action. The children learn and grow every day. Tender Care gives me the tools, the professional development, and the support to help me become the teacher I want to be.
Miss DebI have been at Tender Care for almost 6 years and have made some of the best relationships with my coworkers and parents. They were all very understanding while I was going through some medical issues in the past year. I am so thankful for the support system they have created. My first class that I taught at Tender Care is now my PreK class. They will be leaving for Kindergarten soon. I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with such a great company and be such an important part of the children’s lives. It is very rewarding to see each child grow.

I love working at Tender Care! The day I walked in for my interview I told the ladies they had a laid back atmosphere and good vibes. Everyone here is so kind and genuine. I feel appreciated by both the families and staff and I’ve only been here for a month.
LaurenI have worked for Tender Care for 5 months. Both teachers and manager have a sincere respect for each other. The parents are appreciative of the staff in the day to day care of their child.
AmyI became a teacher for Tender Care right out of college. That was 16 years ago. In any other job I have had, I have never been treated with as much respect as Tender Care has shown me. Knowing I am appreciated and valued helps me to show the children of Tender Care how truly special they are. It is a circle of caring that I am honored to be a part of.
ErinI have worked for Tender Care for three years and it has been such a rewarding experience! I knew from the very first day that this environment was a perfect fit for me. The staff is so friendly, warm, welcoming, and respectful. It’s a great feeling to love where you work!
LanaIt is going on almost 3 years since I have been teaching the newborns/infants at Tender Care Learning Center at the Meadowlands location and the most memorable moments are when the toddlers and Preschool children come back and visit me and talk about what they are learning in their current classrooms. What I have enjoyed the most every day is watching the children complete their goals, which entails meeting and exceeding each child’s daily needs. Especially, seeing the firsts with the infants, and knowing what I am doing every day is making a difference in the lives of the children. Also with the support of my director, Angela and Assistant director, Brenda, who are ever present and make my everyday life in the newborn room delightful as they are an integral part of my success as an early childhood professional. I truly enjoy coming to work to see how the babies are growing in all aspects of their development. My job can be challenging and rewarding each and every day, but I can absolutely say that I love my job!
LeeAnn S., Newborn teacher, Meadowlands, PA.I have been working for Tender Care Learning Center for 11 years. Having worked in childcare before, I knew what made a highquality center and that is why I chose Tender Care. I have worked with many ages here and am currently the PreKindergarten teacher and a Master Teacher.
The high quality comes from the company always trying to improve in many areas. The curriculum I have used over the years has changed and improved. It, as well as my director, has allowed me to be as creative with it as I wish. I am provided with the materials I need in order to teach my students so they can succeed. Health and safety are a big priority, from cleanliness to security, the policies and adjustments to them, have kept me as well as the children safe and healthy.
Tender Care provides me with two trainings a year. These have taught me a variety of curriculum ideas, child development information and positive staff and workplace interactions. Staff meetings is another way that I can learn ways to improve at my job.
The directors I have worked under have allowed me to take leadership roles within my center. I have helped implement an art show, curriculum night and PreKindergarten graduation. As the Master Teacher, I have been encouraged to train fellow teachers through meetings and activities. Our regional managers are friendly and down to earth and often stop by to visit the classrooms
Tender Care has been a great company to work for and I can’t imagine working for anyone else.

Working at Tender Care has been a wonderful experience full of opportunities for learning and personal growth. Tender Care has provided me with skills and knowledge from trainings and workshops that have not only helped me grow as a teacher, but as an individual. I am proud to work at Tender Care Learning Center, and I am grateful to have the joy of working with children at a center where learning is a priority.

Being a part of the Tender Care family is an all around wonderful experience. From the families and children to the management and staff, it is a fun and welcoming place to work. Tender Care also makes sure to continue training and educating their teachers to make them the best they can be!
Liz M.The families are very active and involved with the staff, child’s class, other children and families in those classrooms. The families are very complimentary of the work we do with their children, and they appreciate the dedication and time we spend with their individual child.
Macy W.As someone who has had the opportunity to work for a couple of different companies, I could never fully express my love and appreciation for Tender Care Robinson. As both a teacher and parent, it’s refreshing to be involved with a program that truly puts child development first. From the quality education and professional teaching staff, to the outside resources and parent involvement, Tender Care has been a wonderful experience.

Shadyside
I have loved every minute of my time here at Tender Care. They are truly the Early Education Professionals and advocate for every child in their care. Shadyside is such a diverse environment, and I wake up every morning excited to get to school and spend my day with an amazing group of children and teachers!
RebekahTender Care Shadyside welcomed me with open arms after moving to Pittsburgh from out of state. I have never felt more at home and more part of a team. The team we have here has become my family. I couldn’t imagine being employed anywhere else. I love it here and am so comfortable here that my son attends. He loves it, too!
Vicky M.I've been working at Shadyside for almost a year. It is the kind of environment where you can develop and make a difference. Through countless opportunities for continuing education, I have been able to learn and grow more in my journey as an educator. Our director and assistant director are genuine, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable, and that energy is felt throughout the school. We are a diverse group of teachers who are dedicated and passionate about the care that we provide. We love what we do, and it is evident in the strong relationships we build with the families that walk through our doors.
Rebecca NugentMy three years here at Tender Care Learning Center have been the best three years, I could have ever asked for right after graduating with my degree. It has been so rewarding and exciting to work with such a wonderful group of woman. Each and every day, I head to not just a job but my second home. These ladies strive each and every day to provide love, care, but most importantly knowledge into each child in their care. The families that we serve become extended family to each of us. I have gained a plethora of skills, knowledge, but I have gained a family. My coworkers, director, and assistant director inspire me to be the best early educator and advocate for young children because they are the epitome of excellence for Early Educators.

Wexford
I have worked at Tender Care Wexford for over 11 years, and have enjoyed every minute of it! Every day is a new adventure, and I wouldn’t choose to take this journey with anyone other than the students, coworkers, and directors that I work with! When I’m having a good day, they make it even better, and when I’m having a rough day, they put a smile on my face. Tender Care Wexford is a place I WANT to be at, not that I HAVE to be at!
Kelly S.Working at Tender Care is such an adventure! I love how great the communication is between teachers and parents. The management is very flexible and accommodating. I really enjoy working for Tender Care.
Casey A.Tender Care is such a fun place to work! As soon as I started I was able to take management training classes and they supported me in every step of my professional growth. I have learned so much from my directors who are always there to help. Watching the children grow from room to room is one of the best parts of the job. As the PreK teacher, I feel so proud of my students who come through my room and then move on the Kindergarten. I love watching them learn and grow!

I have worked at Tender Care for 12 years, my whole adult life, and I would not change this opportunity for anything. I have enjoyed working in all of the classrooms, as I was a three year old teacher before I had my own daughter, and have worked in prek and school age since. I love working with the older children and watching then grow and develop and prepare for school. I love when my students outgrow the program and come back to visit, it shows that I have impacted them in some way. I enjoy the staff that I work with, I look at them as family and friends rather than coworkers. I am grateful that we are offered many benefits at this job and that it is affordable. I used to say that this job was just temporary until I had my own children but now my daughter is 7, and Tender Care is home to me.
MissyOver my five years at Tender Care I have been able to watch those who started as infants grow to graduate from our PreK program. It always astounds me to think about how much these children have grown over their years here. A large part of that growth is due to a wonderful staff who help and support each other as much as possible. Everyone really tries to be flexible and work together to make each day better than the previous one. The warm, fun, and energetic atmosphere helps each day be exciting, different, and unique. We are always so proud of how much each child learns in our care, but in reality we learn just as much from them and each other.
KellyI learned about Tender Care when I was in college, and needed to complete observation and practicum hours. The management and staff always made me feel welcome and were very flexible with me. Shortly after graduation, I applied with Tender Care and accepted a position as a prek teacher. The Whitehall school has made me feel like family. Management is very understanding, kind and always go above and beyond to fit my schedule. The staff is very friendly, caring and they all bring a positive attitude to the work environment. I have enjoyed my career here at Tender Care, and I highly recommended this company to early educators!
JackieAfter observing in a daycare during college and working at two different centers, I can say that Tender Care is my favorite. The management treats you like family and creates a caring environment, which you typically don’t get in a work setting. They are flexible and understanding when different things come up in life and are always willing to work around schedules. The center itself is very clean and organized with children’s work displayed on the walls. All the staff members are welcoming and are friends outside of work. Tender Care is a positive environment to work in and I would recommend to all :)
KristinI have been employed with Tender Care Learning Center for over 6 years and my time at work is always enjoyable. The staff is friendly to the children and each other. If I ever had a conflict with scheduling, the other staff would always be willing to help. We’ve creating such a close family at work that we became friends outside the classroom, too. The directors treat both the staff and parents with respect. They provide a caring and pleasant work environment. The center is always colorful and clean. The teachers do a great job at updating and changing the children’s artwork in each classroom. I think Tender Care is an amazing place to work. I have, and will, continue to recommend the center for parents and future teachers!
