Tina consistently went above and beyond any expectations that we had! She cooks amazing and nutritious food, helps foster routine, and creates an environment where all feel safe and welcome. Our son loved his time with Tina and is leaving with all the skills he needs to succeed in school. We are filled with gratitude for the care, education, and friendships that he received.

Tina is an amazing daycare provider and we could not be happier with her service. We had two kids with her, for a total of six years under her care. The kids learned so much, both left ready for kindergarten. Tina is very transparent about her approach and helps parents understand what kids are learning under her care. I could not recommend Tina enough!

We sent our son to Tina's at 18 months old and she has been such a loving and wonderful caregiver for our little guy! He has learned so much there and has made so many new little friends! Tina really does an incredible job keeping these kids safe, loved and constantly learning and having fun!!

Our youngest son has been attending Tink's tots since he was 18 months old and we have had the best experience working with Tina! We have no hesitation dropping him off at daycare because we know he is loved, cared for, and has fun! Tina has an awesome preschool curriculum that covers a wide range of topics. He is learning his letters, numbers, and how to be a good friend and have good manners. The kids celebrate holidays like Easter, Halloween, and Christmas, and they each have a special day on their birthday to celebrate with their friends. We especially love the letters from Santa that she so creatively organizes for all the kids. Tina also helps them learn by hatching chicken eggs and butterflies and they love it! Summertime is all about playtime, outside time at the park, sprinklers, and water table play. If there is anything with our child we need to talk about, she is very willing to listen and help us through and work with us on whatever we are having difficulty with (potty training and sleep regression for us). Overall, we have had the best experience at Tink's tots. If you're looking for a safe, loving, and fun learning environment, with some of the celebrations that we might've enjoyed as kids, this is the place for your child!!

Tina is an amazing provider. I was referred to her, and I really could not be happier with her service and how she cares so personally for my son. He loves his time with her and gets excited about all the different things they do each day. Tina is always professional and she builds such great relationships with the kiddos and parents. She is excellent about giving updates and keeping everyone informed. I highly recommend everything she has to offer :)

We are so happy we found Tina. Our daughter has been going there for several years. Starting a search for a provider is not an easy task. We were lucky we found Tina right from the start. Caroline needed structure and programming. We noticed a change in her listening and ability to get along w other children right away. She has enjoyed going to Tina’s house and even taught me to check the calendar as she is excited for what is happening for day.

Tina has been nothing short of amazing! She has taken care of our son for 4 years and now daughter for 4 years as well. Great positive environment, learning every day, fresh home cooked meals.... again amazing. Our son is now in 1st grade and is excelling in school and we owe a lot of that to Tina's preschool program and teaching. So happy we found her!

Our son started with Tina in 2017 and our daughter joined in 2019. The most stressful thing for us as new parents was finding the perfect daycare- we looked at MANY and found Tina- beyond a blessing. Our son now in 1st grade entered kindergarten knowing sight words, math, shapes, sounds. Our daughter just had her kindergarten screening and her knowledge came from Mrs. Tinas~ we recommend Tina to everyone looking for not only a daycare, but a preschool! We will miss her come June!!! 5 STAR caregiver!

Tina took care of my son for the past 3.5 years and i can’t recommend her enough! She loves her kids and is extremely patient & kind. With her preschool program, my son got the education he needed to be ready for Kindergarten, if not better than a preschool could. I always knew exactly how my son was doing in class, where he excelled and what we needed to continue working on. Tina is an excellent provider and your kids would be lucky to have her!
