Our Co-operative Philosophy

Research indicates that active parental involvement enhances a child’s learning and development. We believe at Tender Years that a child benefits most when parents and teachers work together, and share common goals for each individual child.

That’s why we foster a warm climate for free communication between parents and teachers. Although we encourage active parental involvement, active and non-active memberships let you be as involved as you want to be.
