Tender Years is run by a board made up of elected Tender Years parents. Preschool classes are taught by highly-trained and experienced teachers with college degrees in early childhood education.

Our Tender Years Philosophy

Children, parents and teachers attend school together, learning from one another. Our cooperative preschool offers parents a quality program for their child at a reasonable cost.  The parent has the privilege of participating with his/her child in the classroom and of contributing his/her ideas, talents and experience to the school. Each child gains the experience and pride of sharing his/her parent.

We believe it is important to teach social skills, encourage creativity and to develop a positive self-concept. Thus, learning at Tender Years is subtle and fun. Preschoolers experience crafts, games, music, dancing, cooking, science and indoor/outdoor large-motor activities. Field trips are planned along with a variety of special activities. Academics are integrated in social learning throughout the day, while being exposed to simple lessons in colors, shapes, letters, sounds, numbers, science, etc.

Tender Years enjoys a reputation as an excellent preschool. Like other cooperative

preschools our success depends upon your interest, cooperation, and participation.
