“Our daughter absolutely loved Tinycare...highly recommend for any family looking for a small, intimate and nurturing environment for their little one.”
“They combine the intimacy of a home setting with the experience and support of a large center.”
“Throughout this crisis, they’ve been incredibly proactive in their communication and their plans are driven by data and science.”

Dená
Hello, My name is Teacher Dená and I am a Head Teacher at Tinycare. Previously, I owned and operated a preschool as well as a before - after school program for children ages 0-12. Where I also mentored teenagers who were interested in learning about child development. My goal is to provide children the optimal environment that promotes learning through exploration and communication. Teaching children to be aware of their environment and themselves is what I like to highlight in our classroom. We teach children how to communicate through English with exposure to American Sign Language. Community is really important to me, which is why I became an executive board member of a non-profit company that focuses on educating individuals/groups on the importance of health and safety in the childcare environment. Although I am a teacher, I will always consider myself a student. I am currently enrolled in college studying Sociology with an emphasis in Family Development. For fun, I study holistic healing through gardening and cooking. Which are my other two passions in life. As well as being outdoors in nature. Nature sparks creativity, and creativity is what we like to focus on in our classroom!

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and am currently pursuing a certificate in Early Childhood Education. I have a 12 year old daughter myself, and I love volunteering at her school events and activities. In my free time I enjoy listening to music and cooking.
