Nurturing Growth,
Inspiring Learning
Early childhood care and education that prepares children for the future
Experienced Teachers
Your child will be cared for by experienced, highly trained, and compassionate educators who are dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported. All of our staff are certified in CPR, Med Certification, First Aid and up to date with the new Connecticut Early Learning Development Standards (ELDS).
Safe & Stimulating
Safety is our top priority. Our center is equipped with childproof facilities and secure areas for play and learning. The environment encourages exploration, curiosity, and creativity, fostering both cognitive and social growth.
All Purpose Curriculum
Our curriculum is carefully designed to support the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of young children. Activities are engaging, hands-on, and cater to the developmental milestones appropriate for each age group.
Caring for your child is our greatest priority
At Tender Years, we believe in supporting each child’s unique development in a nurturing, interactive, and comfortable environment. From the earliest stages, we focus on essential sensory experiences, like sight, sound, and tummy time, for infants. As children grow, our toddler program fosters social, language, motor, and cognitive skills through engaging activities. In our preschool curriculum, we use music, age-appropriate books, and hands-on, multi-sensory materials to create a rich, playful learning experience that encourages creativity and growth at every stage.
We have two
convenient locations
Our Naugatuck Preschool serves children ages 3-5, offering a dynamic learning environment where children can explore and grow. Located in the heart of downtown, our preschool takes advantage of its proximity to local landmarks by organizing walking field trips to places like the Library, Firehouse, and Town Hall throughout the school year.
At our Southbury location, we provide a warm, nurturing environment for children starting as young as 6 weeks old, all the way through to our Pre-K classroom. Additionally, we offer a before- and after-school program, with convenient busing to and from Region 15 schools, making it easy for families to access quality care and education.
