What families tell us they want

Close to Main Street, with room for your child

Newark has some good daycares. The right one is whichever fits your schedule, your budget, and your kid. Here’s what we offer.

Openings now

We opened in October 2026 and still have spots. If another center has a long wait for your child’s age, give us a call. There’s no fee to join our waitlist or to enroll in 2026, and our rates won’t go up until 2028.

Infants from 12 weeks

Babies eat and nap on their own schedule, and we read, sing, and spend one-on-one time with them every day.

UD-friendly calendar

We follow UD’s observed holidays, and UD faculty and staff get 10% off weekly tuition.

Outside every day

A big open field under an old beech tree, a children’s garden, and sand and water tables on our own grounds.

Food from our kitchen

Breakfast and afternoon snack are made on-site from whole ingredients. Lunch is packed from home.

You’ll see their day

Photos, meals, and naps in the Brightwheel app, plus parent-teacher conferences twice a year.

Our promise to your family

What Newark parents can count on here

We’re a local family running a local school. We want to be part of your child’s growth, and we want to be a place Newark is proud to have on Main Street.

We actually talk to you
Our teachers and director say hi at drop-off and tell you how the day went at pickup. Nobody here hands you a backpack and walks away.
Clean kids at pickup
When you pick up your child, they’ll be clean. Hands and face washed, nose wiped, and changed if their clothes got messy.
Babies don’t sit in a bouncer all day
Our babies get held, played with, and moved around. They get tummy time, floor time, and walks outside.
You know exactly who to talk to
Savanna owns the school and she’s here every day. If something’s not right, tell her and we’ll fix it ASAP.
