Dedicated Teachers Make A Daily Difference

Our Teachers Provide Wondrous Teachable Moments - Toddler Preschool & Daycare Serving Milton, Harrington, Dover & Camden, DE

Teachers Provide Wondrous Teachable Moments Using Themes

Your child learns through monthly themes and hands-on activities. For example, in October, we explore farming as your child gets a piece of real pumpkin they can see, smell, and touch. Later on, they are encouraged to make pumpkin-inspired art.

Children Learn To Share, Be Kind, And Collaborate

Your toddler is ready to learn the ins and outs of relating to the people around them. With lots of love and a little instruction, your precious one learns to share with friends, use kind words, and how to help others in need.

Building Physical Skills While Safely Playing Outside

Children will spend time outside every day at our day care center, and have encouragement to enjoy our playground made just for toddlers. Your child can challenge themselves by climbing on and exploring equipment that is a safe distance from the ground.

Exceptional Care Is A Part Of Your Child's Day

The quality of child care we provide, among the best in the state, means we have lower student to teacher ratios and a meticulously planned curriculum. Giving exceptional child care is how we encourage your child to grow and flourish.
