Tynesia Wright-Capers is the Director at our Sugar Hill location in Harlem. She began her journey in education fourteen years ago as an Assistant Teacher. She went on to become a Study Plan teacher, a Certified Lead Teacher and then a Teacher/Site/Educational Director within the Day Care/Head Start/Child Care system. She is an alumna of The City College of New York, where she received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and her Masters of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education. She graduated from Bank Street College where she earned her Masters of Science Degree in Early Childhood Leadership. She is now looking forward to utilizing the skills and knowledge she has acquired, through school and work.

Tynesia’s goal is to provide a safe, nurturing and rich learning experience for every child in this program, where they will feel free to be themselves. Children are very impressionable at this stage and who they become begins from birth. She believes that having a strong, solid foundation is the key to success, so she wants to provide a space where children can develop from the inside (socially and emotionally) out, (physically and academically).

She looks forward to working with the families and staff of Tender Tots and to seeing the children as they develop into strong-minded, socially and emotionally stable individuals with a sense of who they are and confidence in what they know.
