What Our Parents say
As most parents know choosing a daycare preschool for your little one can be both exciting and scary. We looked at a few different ones in the area and decided to enroll our son here while still in the infant stage. He has been attending TLC Parker now for a few years and we are beyond blessed with the care they have provided for him. he loves coming home and sharing his day and what he learned. Mrs. Cecilia has a heart of gold and treats all the kids as if they were her own. The teachers are also wonderful and really have made a positive impact on our son. We love getting all the fun projects He works so hard on and he absolutely loves the summer program with the fun activities.thank you TLC Parker for easing this mom's heart and knowing her little one is in great care. Keep up the good work. You guys rock!!!

I started my son at the TLC Traina campus 2 years ago and just recently enrolled my 10 month old at the TLC Monticello campus since they have an infant room. In the short time we've been attending the staffs been so welcoming and all around amazing. We had found out about my daughters peanut allergy the first week she started attending and the director and teachers were patient with me as i learned more about the allergy. They ensured i had the proper paperwork filled out and turned in and that the classroom became peanut free before the allergy was even confirmed. It was nerve wrecking leaving my little one especially so young but the staff being as wonderful as they are has made it easier.

I absolutely love TLC Parker and so does my little one! All of the staff are caring and friendly and I know that my daughter is well taken care of there. They do activities at the preschool level that my daughter is proud to bring home, I know is actively making her smarter, and I love watching the progress she's made. She's gone there since she was 9 months and she's 2 1/2 now and she ADORES each one of her teachers and knows them by name. I recommend TLC Parker to everyone I know who is expecting or just had a baby.

We love Tender loving care not because they are friendly, that's definitely not enough, they are so sweet and caring about our little loves, always organize and clean which really we love it and they know how to treat with any child , sometimes I'm surprised when they are talking about the very small habits or my son activity, with out doubt they are First at Tracy since I personally checked so many places before here. Special tanks to all sweet and lovely teachers.
Fatemeh H. Parents
I love, love all the teachers at TLC on Parker. When my son started earlier this year, it was hard to leave him. They always made me at ease, comfortable, and would even give me follow ups when I called to check on him throughout the day. My son is learning so much and def has picked up on so much since starting TLC. I'm amazed at all our their patience and love for the kids. I always recommend TLC to other parents. My son has met new friends and is definitely learning more social skills being at TLC. I cannot say enough!
Becca Q. Parents
Tender Loving Care Monticello has been such a lifesaver for my child. Last year, we lost a family member two weeks after I gave birth to my 2nd child. I was going back to work soon and Heather and her staff took in my daughter in the pre school like their own. A year later she has made so much progress in socialization, school readiness, potty training and life skills as well as language development. Staff are friendly, kind and really get to know your child. I always feel my child is safe and cared for when my husband and I are working. It is affordable and I can't wait for my 2nd daughter to join in summer! Staff communicate and keep us in the loop on progress and daily activities through conversations text emails and more which we appreciate. TLC has truly made a difference in our lives and continues to help my daughter grow and blossom! Highly recommend!
The Apodaca Family Parents
I can't express how much we highly recommend TLC Monticello. This is our son's first "school" environment since he had been at in-home daycares since he was an infant. It was a smooth transition with no hiccups. Additionally, we were new to Tracy so we were very selective on the preschool for Kam. We are so glad we did the due diligence to research, tour, and meet the teachers beforehand. We absolutely adore the care that Ms Heather, Ms Cole, and Ms Emma provide. Not to mention, our son looks forward to going to school everyday!
Kathleen C. Parents
TLC Monticello childcare facility is absolutely amazing. The entire staff is friendly and so caring with all the children. My son has been going here for almost 2 years now. The Director, Miss Heather is so professional and wonderful. I appreciate my sons teachers, Ms Cole and Miss Emma, as they are very patient with my son. The children are always kept busy, with either their school/homework and activities. The staff is very professional yet very family, oriented and understanding.
Kim E. Parents
Dont think we could have chosen a better preschool for my son. We started attending TLC Traina in 2021 after he just turned 2 and have had the best experience we could hope for. It was the only childcare center we toured where my son wanted to go explore the classroom and not just stand at the door The staff is nothing short of amazing. They're all super friendly and welcoming. They really care about each and every child and take the time to bond and learn about them. They truly go above and beyond and we're so grateful for them .
Morgan S. Parents
My 2.5 year old son just started at TLC in October and he is THRIVING! He has a ton of vocabulary, already knows his colors, days of the week and can (almost) count to 20! We are in awe of his development over the last two months! Ms. Charla, Ms. Christy, Ms. Sonia and Ms. Tiffany have taken wonderful care of our little guy. They really do care about running a successful, in depth educational program and their commitment shows! They are so on top of parent communication and reminders and that is so helpful for busy working parents like us. The staff is always so friendly and willing to offer feedback/support as our little guy becomes his own little person. We are SO thankful we found this program!
Casey H. Parents
My daughter has been attending this school for the last 2 years and our experience has been nothing but pleasant. My daughter has made friends as well as loves her teachers. She excited to go to school everyday. She has been learning lots of skills which are prepping her for elementary school. I would definitely recommend this school as my other kids will also attend in the near future.
