Tender Years Preschool 521 Walnut Street, Darby, PA 19023

"Tender Years is an awesome daycare. We were so happy to have a nice daycare center in our neighborhood. It was always clean and well kept. The staff is nice, friendly and approachable, the owner is very knowledgeable and on point, the food is good and healthy for kids. My 3 children attended Tender Years for 4 years and there was never a problem. . They enjoyed different activities and learning programs. I don't know what Stephanie Paparo is talking about. She sounds like a disgruntled ex-employee."

"This daycare is the worst place. I’ve ever worked at. First of all she’s been in business for 6 years well enough time to think about moving into a safer neighborhood and a bigger place so the children can have a play ground. These children can’t even play at a playground it’s sad. She has Baquet tables for toddlers to on eat on when 2 of them fell on a child since I’ve been there. And I wasn’t there that long. Her whole approach is just crazy. She needs to get shut down. I’m not sure she even lasted this long. Please don’t send your child here. And if you have a child here I would think about unenrolling them. Their lunch es are disgusting. Kids aren’t nothing but playing all day long. It’s a terrible place !!!"

"If you want your child to grow intellectually do not send your child to Tender years daycare they do not offer pre-K curriculum or any substantial curriculum I noticed when my son went to the school he couldn’t tell me anything he learned that day he always spoke about how he played all day and take walks in the neighborhood and long naps.I didn’t notice him growing intellectually at all like he was at the previous school he went to before I bring him With tender years. I agree with Maria Martinez comment at the end Because Tinder years daycare is very unprofessional the teachers are ghetto, non personal and unorganized As well as me crystal.....If any One gave this school any stars trust me they were old teachers that no longer work for this establishment. The Owner Crystal threw my son lunch and sipping cup in the trash and my son told me the teachers were rude to him I don’t feel comfortable with this place at all. Dakota another Director, During the Covid reopening I asked her what time was pick up she told me 6 PM Dakota calls me mid day while I’m I’m working telling me I have to pick up my son By 4 because he is the only kid left but that is not an emergency i should not have to leave my job because u don’t want to do your job and stay at they daycare until 6 o’clock Another day I came to drop off my son Director Dakota had two red eyes like she had pink eye. She spraying Lysol everywhere to try to kill any germs she may have spread and then call me me saying my son had pink eye I have to pick him up. I let her know ms Dakota my son is clear Of pink eye but I noticed dakota have two pink eyes why is this lady even around children if she is contagious...I took my son to the doctor lord behold my son didn’t have pink eye like she tried to say but she around kids with two red and pink looking eyes this place is the pits And they will try to say you didn’t pay your co-pay and over charge you thank God I keep my bank statements because I was able to confirm my payments."

"Very clean center, SOME of the staff are very nice. I took my kids here for less than a month & they started to tell me that they were uncomfortable because of a teacher. When I spoke to the director (which I spoke to three times due to other problems with the same teacher) she speaks with no compassion, no understanding & had the AUDACITY to ask if my kids basically stretch the truth! I worked in the child care field for 6.5 years! I KNOW how teachers are and how children are, but when I tell YOU I don’t play about my kids and I also tell you I NEVER had a problem with any other child care center & YOU as a director BLAME MY kids, you’re just low. Never again and I would not recommend this center to anyone. I used to tell everyone how nice it was etc just to find out the owner rather believe her staff then the children in her care, she didn’t even care that MY children that I trusted her with, were uncomfortable. Other than that one teacher & director, the center always smells good & the other teachers are really nice. But I’m glad I took my kids out of there!!!!"
