For Middletown families

Bayberry to West Main on the DE-1 corridor

Middletown families work all over: Newark and the UD campus, the STAR Campus tenants like DuPont and Bloom, the Christiana Hospital complex, and downtown Wilmington. Most of those drives start on DE-1 north and exit somewhere between Tybouts Corner and Newark’s Main Street. Our address is one turn off that route at 292 W Main St, Newark, DE 19711.

From central Middletown, the drive runs 22 to 28 minutes depending on whether you take DE-1 N to DE-896 N or US-301 N through Glasgow. Bayberry and Whitehall families usually prefer the DE-1 route. Estates at St. Anne’s and Springmill families often go through Glasgow.

Our license covers up to 80 children across five classrooms, with an infant room starting at 12 weeks. We use the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum and pick a new nature theme each week. UD employees commuting south to Middletown homes get 10% off weekly tuition.
