Come Learn at Tenney
Our classrooms feature wide open spaces for group dance parties, wee tables and chairs for snack time, and plenty of supplies for collaborative arts and crafts. No two families are the same, and we know child-care comes in many shapes and sizes. We offer both half-day and full-day options to fit your schedule.

A typical day in a Tenney classroom will include the following activities:
Meeting Time - With their full group, children might sing a hello song, share ideas, or listen to a story. These activities increase vocabulary, build community through name recognition and celebration.
Snack Time - Tenney staff serve children a variety of foods each day of the week to help children explore new tastes and textures. Children are encouraged to eat snack but are not required.
Free Choice Time - Classroom spaces are designed for play! During this time, children can choose to play independently or together. Between building blocks, quiet reading, or dress-up, there are lots of ways to learn through play!
Outdoor Playground Time - Playing outside is an excellent way to work on large motor skills: running, jumping, climbing, riding bikes, and interacting with other children and peers. The playground is shared by all classes. We make sure to get outside everyday unless there is inclement weather (heavy rain, lightning, high heat or temperatures below 0 degrees)
Lunch Time - Children bring their own lunch tote, lunch, drink and utensils. Lunch is a time to socialize with friends and teachers. At lunch children learn to be responsible; opening lunch containers, setting out their own items, using good manners and cleaning up after themselves.
Nap Time - State licensing requires all full day classes to provide a rest time for children. Child sized sleeping bags that fit in a regular pillowcase are required for every child. Children learn to be responsible for their sleeping bags by setting them out before nap and returning them to the pillowcase and then to the nap cubbie each day.
