Great place to send your kids to daycare. They did a wonderful job communicating on my son’s development!
My 2yo has been going to Tender Years in grimes for about 2 months now. They have always been so welcoming and caring to my son since day one. As a parent we all worry about our children's well being, but at Tender Years I feel that he is in safe hands.
We have been with Tender Years for 7 years now and I've never had one complaint. Our kids absolutely love going there. Every teacher I've come in contact with just adores our kids as their own. They are fantastic at communicating with parents about things and I love how comfortable I feel about leaving my kids there…
We have been at Tender Years now for almost 4 years. I can’t say enough great things about the teachers and staff. They even all came back after COVID while all other daycares in the area struggle to keep staff. I would trust each one of them to teach and love my child like their own. We had never used a daycare…
The staff at Tender Years are the best! They are excellent care givers and inspire learning in all of the children. They not only care about your little ones but care about the whole family! My 3 year old actually looks forward to Monday morning so he can see his teachers and his friends. I truly cannot say…
We’ve been part of the Tender Years family since 2014; all three kids have grown up there. When I say family, I really mean it. Everyone treats our kids like their own - welcoming them by name the moment we walk in. The center is always clean and the kids bring home the best crafts! I’m always amazed when I walk…

They are fantastic at communicating with parents about things and I love how comfortable I feel about leaving my kids there and I still haven't lost that feeling. They are always so welcoming at every drop off, they are like family to us. We love TY4!
We have been at Tender Years now for almost 4 years. I can’t say enough great things about the teachers and staff. They even all came back after COVID while all other daycares in the area struggle to keep staff. I would trust each one of them to teach and love my child like their own. We had never used a daycare center before this so I had my reservations, but now I would never take my daughter anywhere else. It’s a very family oriented daycare where you will build relationships that will last for the kids and parents!
The staff at Tender Years are the best! They are excellent care givers and inspire learning in all of the children. They not only care about your little ones but care about the whole family! My 3 year old actually looks forward to Monday morning so he can see his teachers and his friends. I truly cannot say enough good things to express how happy we are with this daycare.
We’ve been part of the Tender Years family since 2014; all three kids have grown up there. When I say family, I really mean it. Everyone treats our kids like their own - welcoming them by name the moment we walk in. The center is always clean and the kids bring home the best crafts! I’m always amazed when I walk in at nap time and every child is in their cot and actually resting quietly! Nap time isn’t that quiet at home. Highly recommend!
We absolutely love TY! The staff are like family & have treated all of our kiddos with love! Can’t say enough great things about this place!
Tender Years Daycare is an amazing organization. The high quality level of care that was given to my children was a blessing. The management and direct care staff are very skilled and caring. I am very pleased with the many years that my children attended here!
We have been very happy with our children’s care at Tender Years! They are a big family and staff stays consistent which is a huge plus. They are great about keeping the kids busy and always have fun activities planned. Communication has always been excellent from all of the teachers and management. We feel lucky that we found such caring people to be part of our children’s lives ❤️ Thanks for all you do!
We are so glad to have found Tender Years Daycare for our girls. I will never forget the moment I walked in the doors for the tour I thought... This is where my girls belong. The staff turnaround is very little which says a lot about the environment that these teachers create! We love having these teachers in our lives!
