About Tender Love Child Care Center, Inc. 

Who We Are

Tender Love Child Care Center, Inc. has been nurturing young minds since 1996. Owned and operated by Doris Barrett, our CEO, we are proud to have a team of experienced, caring professionals dedicated to early childhood education. 

Resilience Through Adversity 

In 1999, our center at Edwards Bridge in Grifton was devastated by Hurricane Floyd, resulting in total loss. Undeterred, we relocated to Snow Hill, NC, reopening our doors on January 2, 2001. We open our hearts and doors to the entire community. You, the children, and parents have helped with the continuing success of our business. 

So, from us and ours, to you and yours, we extend our sincere thanks. 

Commitment to Excellence

We are committed to providing high-quality early childhood services. Our state-of-the-art facility and staff, with over 100 years of combined experience, foster a safe and engaging environment for children to learn and thrive. 

Gratitude and Community

Our success is built on the support of our families and community. We extend heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey. At Tender Love Child Care Center, Inc., we are more than a child care center; we are a family. 

Together, we continue to grow, ensuring the best start in life for every child we serve.
