A Place Where Your Child Belongs
At Tenderfoot Child Development Center, we believe every child arrives with unique gifts, curiosity, and potential waiting to blossom. Our name reflects that very first step — and the confidence that grows with every step after.
Located in the heart of Sanger, Texas, we provide a nurturing, structured environment where children ages six weeks through twelve years develop cognitively, socially, and emotionally. Our dedicated team treats every child like family — because that is exactly what we are to the families we serve.
