At Tenderloving Child Care & Preschool, we believe every child learns best through love, exploration, creativity, and meaningful relationships. Our warm home-based preschool offers a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow at their own pace.
Our program blends the Reggio Emilia approach, play-based learning, and academic readiness to create meaningful learning experiences tailored to each child’s interests and developmental needs. Through observation and hands-on discovery, we guide children toward confidence, independence, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.
Classes are thoughtfully led by our dedicated and experienced educator, Ms. Ellie, who uses proven teaching strategies to help every child discover their strengths and succeed socially, emotionally, and academically.
As a mother myself, I understand the importance of finding a program that feels like an extension of your family. Tenderloving is truly family-centered. My two grown children successfully completed their education and continue to inspire my passion for early childhood learning. My retired mother is also an important part of our program and serves as one of my assistants, helping create the warm and loving atmosphere families appreciate so much.
Our entire team is:
Originally from New York, I value kindness, respect, structure, and strong family relationships. Having attended Catholic school from elementary through high school, I incorporate values such as respect, compassion, responsibility, and community into everyday learning experiences.
My educational background includes studies in Nursing and Psychology, an Early Childhood Development degree, Business Administration, Accounting, and Human Resources, along with over 13 years of healthcare experience. I also hold a Preschool Teaching Credential with an emphasis in the Reggio Emilia Curriculum. This diverse educational and professional background allows me to provide a high-quality program that supports children academically, emotionally, socially, and developmentally while maintaining strong organization, communication, and professionalism for families.
