Daycare near McVey Elementary, Newark DE

For McVey Elementary families

A short drive from McVey, built for the sibling still at home

McVey is a Christina School District school serving Pre-K through 5th grade, off Janice Drive. McVey already runs its own Pre-K classroom, so some families are just extending that same idea a few years earlier, starting at 12 weeks instead of age four.

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 2.9-mile drive from McVey, mostly along South College Avenue. Five classrooms, a license cap of 80 kids, Delaware OCCL ratios.
