What Our Parents say

About Us

Our Pre-School

TLC provides a solid, coherent foundation for later learning in Kindergarten and beyond. All TLC facilities are licensed by the state and are inspected regularly to ensure they meet health and safety requirements.

At Tender Loving Care, we staff compassionate, fully qualified teachers that provide the education and care your child needs and you expect. All of our staff have a minimum of 12 ECE units and are First Aid and CPR certified. Teacher – Parent communication is encouraged and essential in maintaining our high quality program. In order to keep our parents updated on what their little ones are learning, TLC happily provides weekly curriculum plans. In addition, we present our parents with a copy of their child’s assessment every trimester.

Our TLC Parker program serves children from 6weeks through twelve years of age. We are proud to announce that we have been chosen Best of the Best Preschool Childcare Center in Tracy for the last twelve years! TLC also offers a full summer camp program!

Our hours of operation are from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday!

Our Curriculum

Core Knowledge Based Curriculum
We believe that academics and social development must be given equal levels of importance in order for a child to thrive in today’s society.
We embrace the certainty that every child has unique strengths and learning styles. Our approach is to build strong foundations for continued learning. This opens the door for the enthusiastic participation of our young students and supports them through navigating and understanding today's versatile society.
TLC uses an educational curriculum that provides a stable, lasting foundation for later learning in Kindergarten and beyond. TLC lessons are all based on a Core Knowledge Preschool Program. This program is scientifically based on how young children learn best. Every semester an assessment is offered to our parents on their child’s progress. TLC’s Core Knowledge curriculum builds on the child’s current skills, going from concrete to more abstract. Our well-trained teachers understand that they must start “where each child is” and then move forward with each child in the achievement of the goals. The teachers provide challenging, but not frustrating, learning experiences for the children.
Core Knowledge covers skills in the following areas:
  • Physical Well-Being and Motor Development
  • Social and Emotional Enhancement
  • Approaches To Learning (Self-Help Skills)
  • Language Knowledge Acquisition
  • Cognitive Development
  • Artistic Expression and Creativity

At TLC the children may watch caterpillars turn into butterflies, follow a recipe for mud pies, listen to a variety stories, play hopscotch outside, memorize and read sight words, locate shapes within the classroom or write a simple sentences independently. The experiences and challenges are endless!
