The TYC Difference
Tender Years is a non-profit, co-operative school providing superior education to children from 18 months to six years old. For over 35 years, through the consistent efforts of our dedicated parents and staff, we have earned a reputation for excellence in delivering an exceptional learning experience to our community’s youngest learners. Our outstanding team of Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) engage students through inspiring leadership and thoughtful planning.
Every child at Tender Years receives individualized attention from experienced RECEs who are dedicated to student success and development. An inclusive setting, Tender Years is committed to serving all learners, regardless of ability. We work closely with community agencies and families to ensure students with special needs are set up for success and have the greatest opportunity for growth and development. Please speak to the School Supervisor prior to registration so that we can ensure that your child’s needs are best understood and supported in the classroom environment.
Our classrooms introduce a variety of activities that stimulate learning while allowing each child to grow at their own pace. Each program offered encourages creative learning through fun activities including arts and crafts, music, song and dance, puzzles, dramatic play, sensory bins, and gross motor activities. Additional school events are often planned such as themed days, animal shows, special guests, pageants, and our annual Fall Fair.
Our child-centred approach to learning includes time both indoors and outdoors in our two enclosed playground areas, one specifically designed and designated for our toddlers and a second for our preschool and kindergarten classes. Tender Years also has child-size restroom facilities to help build confidence and independence, and our staff will work with you and your child on their potty-training journey.
Select programs offer two healthy snacks and a hot lunch catered by Yummy Catering, and Tender Years is happy to accommodate certain dietary needs/restrictions in our allergy sensitive and nut-free environment.

Active and Non-Active Families
As a co-operative, we rely on our families to be actively involved with the school and contribute significantly to its ongoing success. Participating is EASY! Whether you serve on one of our many school teams and committees or take a position with the Board of Directors, there are plenty of opportunities to be part of the Tender Years team.
We know that not all families are able to take an active role with the school, and non-active families are still welcome at Tender Years! A limited number of non-active spaces are made available to families, and fees for non-active families will be higher to reflect the contribution our active families make to the school. Download our 2019/2020 Registration Package for more information.
