Tender Hearts is a licensed large family home daycare in West San Jose, serving children from 4 months to 5 years old. We believe childcare is more than a job — it is a God-given calling to nurture young minds, care for tender hearts, and help every child feel safe, valued, and deeply loved.
Our approach is inspired by the words of Jesus: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." — Matthew 19:14. This verse reflects the love, patience, and sense of purpose we bring to caring for every child entrusted to us.
With a limited capacity of 14 children, we provide a warm, family-centered environment where each child receives personal attention and thoughtful care. Every day is filled with meaningful learning, joyful play, and loving guidance — giving parents genuine peace of mind.
We balance joyful, developmentally appropriate play with the fundamentals of early learning. Children explore, problem-solve, and create — because fun is the gateway to secure attachment and lifelong curiosity.
Our curriculum and daily rhythms build self-help skills, emotional regulation, early academics, and friendship skills — so your child is truly preschool and kindergarten ready.
We serve only nutritious food that is fresh and home-cooked every single day. Your child is well fed with meals made with love. See our menu →
We use insights from Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) to track milestones, advise families, and celebrate every step with parents.
Under Jessica's leadership, our well-trained assistants uphold the highest standards — with low turnover and staffing above licensing ratios, so children get more attention every day.
We maintain a stellar record with Community Care Licensing inspections — zero citations — and have received glowing commendations.
Christian values of kindness, gratitude, honesty, and compassion are woven gently into our songs, stories, and everyday moments together.
You are the expert on your child. We offer clear, caring communication, collaborate on goals, and share practical recommendations to support your child's social-emotional development.
A bright, safe, home-like environment with a dedicated indoor learning space and a fenced outdoor play yard.
