SANGEETA RANI
Hello everyone! My name is Sangeeta Rani and I am the state licensed provider and owner here at Tender Steps Childcare LLC. My experience and love for childcare spans over two decades! I first began my journey as a teacher at Kindercare Learning Center from 2000-2009 working with children from the age ranges of infants to school-age. Since then, I have opened up my own daycare and have been in practice for almost 15 years! My current certifications, which are annually renewed, include Virginia Medication Administration Training (MAT), CPR, and First Aid. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and daughter. I can’t wait to meet all of my future new students and their families!
Our Benefits
Tender Steps Childcare offers numerous benefits that cater specifically to the needs of both children and parents.
Care & Education
In our in-home daycare, we prioritize nurturing a safe and stimulating environment tailored for children aged 8 months to 6 years old. Our educational approach blends structured learning with creative play, fostering both cognitive and social development. Each day is filled with age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity and growth, such as storytelling, music, art, and outdoor exploration. We believe in the importance of individualized attention, ensuring each child receives personalized care that supports their unique needs and interests. Our goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where children feel secure, happy, and excited to learn each day.
“The curriculum at Tender Steps Childcare is thoughtfully structured, blending educational activities with play in a way that engages and educates the children effectively. I have been particularly impressed with the variety of activities offered, from arts and crafts to early literacy and numeracy exercises.”
