Tendercare Family Dayhome & Learning Center is a caring, loving and comfortable place. Our son his been there for about 2 years and he loves it! And so do I! We are so please with the one on one care and learning he recieves each and everyday. We have seen such a huge change in his learning and behavior since he has been there! Thanks to Ms. Nessa, she has been a God saver! We can not think her enough for taking care of our son like it was her own. He has learned so much in over the two years that I am amazed. He has learned to read, write his name, share, be polite, and use his words. So many big words. She works none stop at their our pace. When I first heard our son reading for the first time I cried! I am a very happy mommy and I am very blessed. I could continue to write great things about her and her childcare but you would have to experience the joy with your child !!! Also, the book moblie comes to her house and reads to the child!!! You can email me if you have any questions cwarren32@cox.net
