★★★★★jessica czechowiczTanaina is amazing. My family was at Tanaina for 3.5 years of daycare and prescho. The executive staff and all of the teachers were amazing all those years. My son was nurtured in both social, emotional, behavioral, and developmental skills. As my child enters kindergarten I see him ready and excited due to the snow educational foundation and nurturing he received at Tanaina.
★★★★★Marie KoitsaluWe've been with Tanaina for a year now. This center is run by two amazing women (Amanda and Haylee) who greet everyone arriving every morning. The communication is effortless and easy, both with Amanda and Haylee and with the teachers. It really feels like a big family! Our daughters love going there.
★★★★★Sally HokansonMy son has been at Tanaina since he was 14 months old and he loves it! All his teachers have been awesome, he loved Cici and Nora and Erika and now he's having a good transition to the preschool class. The school provides 2 meals and snacks daily. The teachers and administrators are very friendly and communicate really well.
★★★★★Jolene Firmin TelfordMy family has been with Tanaina since 2015. Tanaina is a quality early childhood development center. The teachers are amazing! Shout out to Sheena and Cici for their support with the drop-off routine - mostly for me ;). The staff education and retention rates are a great reflection of the leadership provided. Tanaina also offers parent night outs and special events for the whole family.
★★★★★Kerry Hall-DexterWe love Tanaina Child Development Center! Our son has attended Tanaina since he was 18 months old. All of the staff are amazing and our son has learned SO much from attending Tanaina. Highly recommend for any child!
