Tender Loving Care Child Care Center

Tender Loving Care child care has been in operation since 1977, and was originally located inside the Zion Lutheran Church before expanding to the current location on Josslyn Street. We are licensed to provide care for children from ages 6 weeks through to 12 years old. Our services include full and part time care, kindergarten, Headstart collaboration, before and after school program, and a summer school-age program. We also provide a van service for transporting school children to and from school.

Tender Loving Care emphasizes the creative, social, intellectual, cognitive and physical growth of each child. Opportunities are provided in the teacher's written lesson plans to meet each of these needs daily using developmentally appropriate programming practices. We strive toward the full development of the child in attaining positive self-image, accepting the differences of others, as well as helping children establish and attain these goals. In providing a non-threatening environment for children to be guided through learning experiences, TLC fosters a sense of security, acceptance, encouragement, and challenge for each individual. This is accomplished through varied and planned activities such as art time, group time, and field trips.
