“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!”

“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!”

“Tender Years has done an amazing job preparing our son for first grade! The teachers are wonderful providing us with constant feedback and make them feel secure and confident. The small class size is prefect and has contributed to their success as well. The children are challenged to achieve their full potential while maintaining a fun and loving environment. We are so grateful for our experience with Tender Years. We would also like to thank you for remaining open all through the COVID-19 pandemic. They kept my child safe and happy during a very challenging time. We really don’t know what we would have done without you providing care during these times. We feel an amazing level of trust and appreciation to all of you.”

“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.”

“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, 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.”
