Pike Creek to West Main: a fifteen-minute drive worth taking.

Pike Creek already has wonderful trails - Carousel Park, the White Clay Creek preserve, the duck-pond loop. Send your little one to a daycare that uses that same outdoor instinct.

For Pike Creek families

The same outdoor values you raised them with

Pike Creek parents already know what nature-based learning is worth. Your kids spend weekends on the Polly Drummond trails, behind Linden Hill, and in the hills off Limestone. Our school day picks up where that leaves off.

From Pike Creek, our address at 292 W Main St, Newark is a 12 to 18 minute drive south on DE-72 (Limestone Rd) or down Polly Drummond Hill Rd. You can be on Main Street before the Christiana Mall traffic picks up.

We have five classrooms for ages 12 weeks through pre-K, and our license caps us at 80 kids. Daily lessons come from the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum, with a new nature theme each week. Lunch and snacks are made in our kitchen.
