Cecil County, MD

A Cecil County daycare option, just over the line in Newark.

Cecil County’s rural charm comes with fewer daycare options. Newark Nature School is a small, locally owned alternative for families who already cross the line for work, shopping, or healthcare.

For Cecil County families

One school, four entry points across the line

Cecil County families reach Newark from at least four directions: north on MD-279 from Elkton, east on MD-273 from Rising Sun and Fair Hill, west on I-95 from North East, and across the back roads from Calvert. Our address at 292 W Main St, Newark, DE 19711 sits inside Newark’s downtown, so all of those routes converge a block from our door.

We’re a single-location, family-run school. Five classrooms cover 12 weeks through pre-K, with a license cap of 80. Daily lessons come from the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum with a nature theme each week. Lunch and snacks are made in our kitchen.
