Tender Years Education Center

Lobar Associates was proud to partner with Tender Years on the design-build project of their Child Development Center in Hampden, PA, which opened its doors in 2022. This 12,300-square-foot facility was thoughtfully laid out to accommodate up to 150 students, combining flexible learning environments with ample natural daylight. From the moment families arrive, they’re greeted by a bright, welcoming lobby that sets the tone for the nurturing, child-focused atmosphere inside.

How it All Came Together

The center features ten classrooms, administrative offices, and a versatile multi-function room complete with a bespoke play village—each space fitted with cutting-edge materials and technology to support both education and safety. Large window walls flood the interior with sunlight, while two expansive outdoor play yards offer secure areas for exploration, socialization, and physical activity. Every element of the build reflects our commitment to durability and transparency, from the structural concrete and masonry to the roof trusses and high-quality doors and hardware.

What makes this project truly stand out is our in-house craftsmanship: Lobar’s crews self-performed every phase of the concrete work, masonry installations, truss setting and roofing, as well as all doors and hardware. This hands-on approach ensured tight coordination, exceptional quality control, and on-time delivery—all critical for a facility that supports the growth and development of our community’s youngest learners.
