Cecil Manor is a Cecil County Public Schools elementary school serving Pre-K through 5th grade, off Elk Mills Road in Elkton. Plenty of Cecil County families already look to downtown Newark for shopping, work, and now child care, since the drive is shorter than it looks on a map.

We’re open 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, for children 12 weeks through pre-K. Lessons come from the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum with a new nature theme each week, and the kids go outside daily when weather allows.

Our address, 292 W Main St, Newark, DE 19711, is about a 4.6-mile drive from Cecil Manor, mostly along Barksdale Road. Five classrooms, a license cap of 80 kids, Delaware OCCL ratios.
