Our Early Childhood Education program is accredited by the National Association for the Education Young Children (NAEYC) and our Summer Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA). Newark Day Nursery and Children's Center reaffirms our commitment to treating every individual with dignity and respect.
We recognize that African Americans and all people of color have endured racism, violence, and inequality for far too long. We stand in support of justice and firmly against what we have recently witnessed, acts that nobody should ever endure. By welcoming children and families of all races, ethnicities, and economic status, NDNCC will always honor the beauty and potential within each child.

Philosophy / Mission
Report
Newark Day Nursery and Children's Center was founded in 1961 serving only 5 children, and has grown to a center serving 180 children daily. It began from the vision of several citizen-activists who saw an unmet need of working families for both high quality and affordable child care.
Through milestones such as acceptance as a United Way of Delaware agency, achieving the first of several national accreditations, and acquiring a 5 acre facility for expansion, their vision has led to thousands of children being served.We provide developmentally appropriate programming that supports the process of learning and allows children to enjoy successful experiences.
