TENDER YEARS ADULT FAMILY HOME LLC

We absolutely adore Christine & Natalia. From the first day we met Christine, she treated our little guy like one of her own. They do an excellent job of attending to all the children's needs and do well with promoting mental and social skills with learning activities and games. Our 18 month old can keep up with the 4 year olds, which is reflective of this fun environment. They also do many activities outside when the weather is cooperating, which we also love. We feel confident having our child in their care. They both have years of experience with children and it has made our decision very easy to enroll with them. Best of all, we love that our toddler has his first friends! Christine & Natalia really try to make the group of kids cohesive, they all have fun every day!

Christine and Natalia have been good caregivers. Our 4 year old twins adore them both, and I often times have trouble getting them to leave! Over the last year of care their vocabulary has skyrocketed, they are writing, and manners and social skills are improved. The families that attend have been chose with care and have been great classmates/friends with my kids.

My daughter has been at Christine's tender year for about a year now. Previously she was at a large center for 6mos. I felt the teachers did not listen, and there was constant turnover. I often left after picking up my daughter crying because she didn't sleep at all during the day and it was evident they didn't put her in her sleep sack or give her a pacifier. Something had to change for my own sanity. Christine and Natalia were introduced into our lives. And it has been a blessing. My daughter has never cried while dropping her off, and is always excited to see Natalie and Christine. Sometimes it is difficult to get her leave, which I feel is a good thing. It shows me she loves being with them! Christine listened to my instructions on my daughter's napping and we worked together, and now my daughter sleeps 2-3 hrs a day. She is a happy girl when I see her. I recommend Christine and Natalia to anyone. I view them as extended family, and look forward to my future children being in their hands!

We have being using Christine for childcare for the last 6 years. She has seen us through two very different boys, starting at the age of 3 months to 3 years. We will be sending our little one to early childhood education in the fall and will deeply miss Christine and Natalia's daily involvement in their lives. Prior to choosing Christine, so many years ago, I researched center and home daycares extensively. Some wrote me off because I hadn't even had my baby, and from conversations with friends, centers seemed to push infants into certain things that I felt should be under parental control. We love the home environment with a small group of children. We love the space in which the kids play outside and have their educational/structured time, and how all of the space is separate from the general home living space. Most importantly, throughout the years, I have always felt that my boys were safe, loved, stimulated, socialized, well fed, and well taken care of. I have also always appreciated that we were not pushed into certain things, like meeting a milestone in infancy or potty training in toddlerville. She has always respected our requests (bottles, baby food, etc) and helpful with transitions (nap schedule, potty training, etc). I would recommend Christine and Natalia's daycare services, and have throughout the years, because they are loving, nurturing and compassionate people, who take great care of our kids while we are struggling to survive as full time working parents.

My 3 year old twins have attended Christine's Tender Years Family Child Care services since Sept., 2016. I had zero hesitations about enrolling them under Christine & Natalia's direction. Growing up in a child care setting myself, I was always looking for a great comparison to my Mother and her exceptional work. After testing out quite a few other in home child cares, I truly found it at Christine's. The boys always come home with their report card of their daily activities, what they ate, how they behaved, when they napped, etc. So much of this can be forgotten at pick up but this way I never have a question. When they first started in September, we were debating about enrolling them in speech therapy as they were delayed. After a few months at Christine's, I noticed a tremendous improvement. Christine & Natalia work with daily, educational, projects. Their knowledge has skyrocketed and are telling us their numbers, letters, colors. My personal favorite are the art projects, which decorate our house. My children have been truly blessed to have such an amazing opportunity to make great new friends in a wonderful, loving environment.
