What some parents have to say
Linda is an absolute gem!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives at Tender Hearts. From the moment we met Linda, we knew she had a genuine love for children. Our little one settled in so quickly and comes home smiling every day. The environment is so warm and welcoming—just like a second home. We’re truly grateful to have found Linda!
