Rising Sun, MD

Rising Sun: a nature-rich daycare on the Newark side of the line.

Rising Sun is one of those towns where kids still ride bikes to the park. We try to bring that same feel into the daycare day - mud-friendly, walkable, run by people who actually live nearby.

Worth the drive if Newark is on your route

From Rising Sun proper, take MD-273 east through Calvert and Fair Hill, crossing into Delaware. The drive is calm, mostly two-lane, and runs about 25 to 30 minutes door-to-door.

We’re a small, locally owned school at 292 W Main St, Newark. Five classrooms, license cap of 80. We’re open 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. UD employees get 10% off weekly tuition.
