Daycare near Gilpin Manor Elementary, Elkton MD

For Gilpin Manor Elementary families

A cross-line drive from Gilpin Manor, built for the sibling still at home

Gilpin Manor is a Cecil County Public Schools elementary school serving Pre-K through 5th grade, off Newark Avenue in Elkton. We want to be upfront that it’s a real cross-line drive, not a quick hop, but plenty of Elkton-area families already come into downtown Newark regularly.

We’re open 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, for children 12 weeks through pre-K, which gives you margin on both ends for the longer drive. 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 6.7-mile drive from Gilpin Manor, mostly along Elkton Road. Five classrooms, a license cap of 80 kids, Delaware OCCL ratios.
