Award Winning Child Care, Preschool, Kindergarten, Summer Camp & More

“We have been delighted to find that Miss Justina’s lessons resonate with our son, Finn, well beyond the kindergarten classroom. While reading bedtime stories, he points out sight words. He excitedly reads signs when we sit in traffic, and our dinnertime discussions always seem to remind him of something he’s recently learned about a weekly topic, such as community workers, symbols, or even the stages of matter. We think Miss Justina inspires her students to be really excited about what they learn. Finn is truly happy to go to school each day. We could not have asked for a better beginning to his education.”

“Tender Years’ Mechanicsburg Kindergarten is a top-notch program. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of the lessons, the hands-on projects, the teacher and student interaction, and the happiness of our daughter! Miss Lauren is an incredible teacher and very in-tune with her students. She provides assistance and challenges where needed! Highly recommended!”

“Tender Years, Inc. is hands down the best childcare center in the area! The teachers are excellent. They are very attentive and compassionate and treat your children as if they are their own. My boys LOVE it there and I love knowing that my children are being cared for and taught by top-notch teachers at a fantastic center.”

“Great facility! The teachers are warm, caring, and hard working. Our daughter was there from 6 months to age 2 when we had to move for work. She loved her teachers! The director is flexible and easy to work with. Lunch meals are available if needed which was great! I definitely recommend this center :) we definitely miss Tender Years!”

“Our family has been with Tender Years for over 5 years and has enjoyed every aspect of the warm environment and structure they provide to their students and families.  Our oldest son is currently in Tender Years (Mechanicsburg) Kindergarten program and we have seen him excel in all aspects of learning fundamentals and socialization.  Their curriculum mimics those of surrounding school districts to ensure they are on the best path forward to enter elementary school (first grade) post Kindergarten graduation.  The teachers have been fantastic at communication and progress reports and our son loves going to school to learn everyday.  It is so fulfilling to have him come home, in excitement, and see his growth in reading, writing and mathematics.  We could not be happier with the decision we made in sending our son to Tender Years (Mechanicsburg) Kindergarten program!”

“Our family has been associated with Tender Years Mechanicsburg for the past 4 years. We have seen our youngest grow with them and mature into a smart, friendly, happy-to-go-to-school kid ever since. Their Kindergarten program is a blessing for parents like us who were confused when COVID struck. We are glad to have made the right choice since there were hardly any school closings and they made sure to keep the environment safe during this difficult time. The teachers are excellent and groom the kids very well for public school curriculum. She has become an excellent reader in just a few months since the start of Kindergarten. She made lots of new friends and loves her teachers. The teachers ensure that the kids get to have outside play time almost every day except during bad weather days. Best part is we as parents get to know what’s happening as part of photo/video sharing on the school app.”
