Full Day Preschool

Tenney’s play-based, interest-led curriculum (Emergent Curriculum) engages children in play to develop life-long skills and make learning fun!

Morning Preschool

Tenney teachers facilitate learning by building on each child’s natural curiosity and motivation to explore their world.

Parent Cooperative

Tenney is proudly a Parent Cooperative! Our center’s policies and practices are led by parents and caretakers.

Parents say:

  • "We feel lucky to have found a place at Tenney!"

    “Tenney Preschool has provided a safe and educational environment for my kids to spend their preschool years. The staff are extremely dedicated and caring. The school community provides many opportunities for parent involvement through social events and being involved in the Board and various committees. We feel lucky to have found a place at Tenney!”

  • "The teachers and staff are phenomenal."

    “Tenney Preschool has provided us with a true community. The teachers and staff are phenomenal. My child is encouraged every day and seen for the individual she is. It's been invaluable for us to have a place she can go a where we know she is safe, supported, and cherished.”

  • "A warm, welcoming community."

    “Tenney has been an amazing space of learning, growth, and friendship. Over the past year our daughter has gone from having a really hard time separating at drop off to asking when she gets to play with her Tenney friends. The teachers have built such a warm, welcoming community. I can see the care each of them put into the Tenney kids, how they make an effort to get to know each child and support them in their growth and development.”

  • "We love the opportunities provided for play,"

    “We fell in love with the Tenney community from the first conversation we had with Anney, the director. They were kind, transparent, and listened to our needs. We love the opportunities provided for play, exploration, and learning, but most especially that it is child-led, developmentally appropriate, and social-emotionally focused. As parents, we are able to be involved in our daughter’s care through events and contributing ideas to grow and improve the community.”
