Welcome to the University of Delaware Early Learning Center (ELC), a full-day early education center for children ages birth to 2nd grade. Delaware's child care subsidy program for low income families, called Purchase of Care (POC), now only reimburses early care and school age providers expected to provide quality care as low as only 57% of the actual cost of services—leaving providers to either reduce quality, find other revenue or reduce services to these children who are most in need of quality care.
I then follow up with asking "˜Why?' I get various answers, but just yesterday she said "Because I love Ms. Jessica and she loves me." I know there is a lot that goes on between the kids and teachers that I don't experience first hand, but when my daughter tells me that she loves her teacher, hugs her goodbye, sits on her lap during reading time, and generally is very happy to be near her, it makes me feel that this is the right place for her to grow.



Over ten years, more than 10,000 children have gone through the program and shown consistent excellence in elementary and middle schools. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun.
We are a small family owned and operated daycare that has been serving our community for over 13 years. We connect families with caregivers and caring companies to help you be there for the ones you love. I love teaching because: I love to watch children go through developmental changes and milestones.

Whatever your priorities, finding the right daycare center for your child is important. We provide before and after care for Newark Charter School and West Park Place Elementary If you do not see your child's school and know they will provide transportation, simply call the center director for assistance.
We strive to provide a loving, nurturing and creative environment for children. Our teachers will promote this sense of exploration through a variety of planned activities and learning centers. BNSA's infant care program provides an environment where you and your infant will feel welcomed and safe.
We are open from 6:30am to 6:00pm, we accept children from 6 weeks to school age, we offer Before and After School Care, We accept Purchase of Care and We recruit and retain Highly Experienced, Qualified and Passionate Staff. Group home daycares are personable alternatives to large centers with hundreds of children.

Teaches your children a lot more than the school system does. Select a day and time to come tour the center. They love, care for and teach the children like their own. Because this is a critical time in your child's life, our preschool programs at the Western and Central YMCA locations focus on the development of the whole child and equip toddlers with essential skills for life-long learning.
Most of the children who came to my daycare stayed with me until their family's moved out of the area or they became old enough to start school. Each team member takes very seriously their great responsibility when children are childcare entrusted to their care. Before and After School enrichment is an activity-based program designed to enhance the social, physical, emotional and intellectual growth of all children within a safe, fun and supportive environment.
