Pike Creek, DE

Pike Creek to West Main: a fifteen-minute drive worth taking.

Pike Creek already has wonderful trails - Carousel Park, the White Clay Creek preserve, the duck-pond loop. Send your little one to a daycare that uses that same outdoor instinct.

For Pike Creek families

The same outdoor values you raised them with.

Pike Creek parents tend to know what nature-based learning is worth. Your kids already grew up along Polly Drummond, on the trails behind Linden Hill, in the rolling hills of Limestone. We extend that ethos into the school day.

From Pike Creek, our location at 292 W Main St, Newark is a 12 – 18 minute drive south on DE-72 (Limestone Rd) or down Polly Drummond Hill Rd. You can be on Main Street before the rush at the Christiana Mall hits.

Five rooms, 80 children at capacity, ages 12 weeks through pre-K. The Brightwheel Experience Curriculum with weekly nature themes, plus outdoor recess. Real food prepared on-site.
