Our
Philosophy
Our center provides nurturing early care and education in
a responsive, caring environment for children. Our curriculum helps
children master age-appropriate tasks at each stage of individual
development. Social, emotional, physical, and cognitive activities
are integrated into all aspects of the curriculum. Children's development
is encouraged through play and exploration of process-oriented rather
than product-oriented activities.
Play and spontaneous exploration are fundamental to childhood and
essential for learning. An NAEYC publication states, through play
children explore their world, find out how they get along with others,
test their skills and muscles, try out new ideas, and feel confident
enough to try different activities and centers. At our center, children
are given time and opportunity for many different kinds of play.
In our motto, "giving children roots and wings", we express our
goal to give children, through our teaching, a sense of belonging,
safety, or roots, and to give them wings to soar to new heights
of accomplishments. TLC is owned by St. James U.C.C. This church
is dedicated to providing quality childcare for all families in
our community.

Tender Loving Childcare recognizes the importance
of a nurturing environment in the development of a young child.
We believe that the adults who interact with the child are the
primary influence on the development and establishment of trust,
self-esteem, and social interaction.
We welcome the opportunity to work with you to provide the best
environment for fostering your child's emotional, social, physical,
creative, and cognitive development.
