For Elkton families

The Delaware state line is just a road

Plenty of Cecil County families already cross into Delaware for work and for shopping at Christiana. Daycare is the next thing to add to that list. Our 5:30 PM close gives Elkton parents room to handle the drive home without rushing.

Coming from Big Elk Mall or downtown Elkton, take MD-279 east. It becomes Elkton Rd, then DE-2 (Capitol Trail) into Newark, ending right on Main Street. Drive time runs 18 to 25 minutes depending on where you start.

We have five classrooms (infants through pre-K) with a license cap of 80. Daily lessons come from the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum, with a nature theme each week. Breakfast and afternoon snack are made in our kitchen (lunch is family-packed), and our calendar follows the University of Delaware’s holiday schedule.

Childs / Iron Hill: ~15 min via Old Elk Neck Rd.
