Pennie's Place Child Care was created and founded as TLC University in 1979 by Emily "Pennie" Cuneo of Haddon Heights, NJ. Pennie had five children with her loving husband, Thomas Cuneo. Pennie had been working as a registered nurse for some time when she decided that her true calling was to provide a loving environment where parents can bring their children while they worked. And that is exactly what she did. Through the years she saw many families pass through the classrooms at the center. She was a prominent member of the community, being very involved with her local parish, and was a generous donor to many non-profit organizations. She often volunteered at the soup kitchen in Camden and carried that tradition down to her children and grandchildren. Suddenly in 2001 Pennie sadly passed away. At that time her husband, Tom assumed sole ownership of the center and their four daughters assumed the administrative management. In her memory TLC University was renamed Pennie's Place. If you look at our sign you will notice the angel overlooking the center, which symbolizes her loving presence. We are a family owned and operated center that takes pride in the quality child care we have been providing families for over thirty years.
Many of the staff have been at the center since it has opened, and have seen their own children and now grandchildren pass through the doors. We are one of the few centers that can say they see the return of families through the generations.
We are a state licensed facility.
We also have security cameras in all of our buildings and the surrounding parking lot areas. We have security codes for entry to all of our classrooms.
