About Us
Your Child Is in Great Hands
A child's early years are filled with important learning experiences that build the foundation for future growth and development. At Tiny Leader's, we are proud of our caring staff and are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.
Our Mission
To provide the highest quality educational programming in a safe, nurturing child-centered environment that earns the trust of the children and families we serve.
Tiny Leaders Children's Center offers a safe, loving environment that allows your child to discover the world around them. We strive to give the best care in a nurturing, child-initiated play-based environment that fosters self-confidence, trust, creativity, and acceptance of individual differences. We allow each child to explore at his or her own pace while encouraging developmental milestones to be met. We focus on all areas of a child's development and make it a priority to know each child well.
Philosophy
Quality Stars
At TLCC, providing high-quality care and education for our children and families is at the heart of everything we do. That's why we're proud to be a member of QUALITYstarsNY, continuously working to strengthen our program and implement best practices in every area of our center.
Our team also completes ongoing professional development through OCFS and the Child Care Council to stay current with the latest research, standards, and practices. We are committed to learning, growing, and continually improving so we can provide the best possible experience for every child and family.
Health & Safety
At Tiny Leaders, we know that while education and development are important, nothing matters more than the health, safety, and well-being of your child. That's why protecting the children in our care is at the center of everything we do.
Our staff receives ongoing training in health and safety practices, including emergency preparedness, fire and shelter-in-place drills, and sanitation procedures. We are committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and clean environment that meets or exceeds all state and local regulations, giving families peace of mind every day.
Core Values
At Tiny Leaders, we've always had a clear vision for our schools, our educators, and the way we care for children and families. As we continued to grow, we knew it was important to define the core values that guide every decision we make.
Our core values create a shared sense of purpose, responsibility, and accountability across our team while encouraging personal and professional growth. Most importantly, they weren't chosen by leadership alone. We invited our employees and management team to help shape the values that represent the place they proudly call home.
After thoughtful discussions and collaboration, five core values consistently stood out—and they continue to guide our work every day.
We are proud to introduce TLC’s Universal Core Values:
Teamwork
Communication
Dedication
Welcoming
Respect
