For Oxford & West Grove families

Southern Chester County’s closest nature daycare

Southern Chester County stays rural on purpose. Oxford, West Grove, Jennersville, and the Lincoln University area sit at the southern edge of the county. The closest daycares thin out, and they often skew toward older children only. We have a small infant-through-pre-K program with outdoor time built into every day, about 25 minutes south at 292 W Main St, Newark, DE 19711.

Most families take US-1 South to DE-896 South or PA-896 South into Newark. From New London and the Avondale line, you can also use PA-41 / DE-41 through Kennett Square. Either way you end up in Newark’s downtown, one turn off Main Street.

We have five classrooms (12 weeks through pre-K) and a license cap of 80. Daily lessons come from the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum, with a nature theme picked up each week. The kids go outside every day weather permits. We’re open 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. PA families on Delaware payroll qualify for the UD discount under the same terms. ChristianaCare staff: see the hospital page for fit notes.
