For Christiana & Stanton families

The hospital corridor’s nature-based alternative

Christiana and Stanton families work long days at Christiana Hospital, the Christiana Mall and STAR Campus offices, and the Stanton industrial park. Most of the daycare options between Routes 7 and 273 are larger chains. We’re the small, family-owned alternative: five classrooms, 80 kids at capacity, ages 12 weeks through pre-K, inside Newark’s walkable downtown.

From Christiana Hospital, the Mall, or the Salem Church / Limestone-Stanton crossroads, you’ll reach 292 W Main St, Newark, DE 19711 in 7 to 12 minutes via DE-273 west. Our hours of 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, match the standard office day for STAR Campus offices and the administrative, lab, therapy, and clinic-block roles around the Christiana corridor.

Daily lessons come from the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum with a weekly nature theme on top. The kids go outside every day weather permits, on actual grass under old oak trees. We have classrooms for infants from 12 weeks, toddlers, two-year-olds, preschool, and pre-K. Class sizes stay within Delaware OCCL ratios.
