Hockessin, DE

Hockessin’s nearest nature-based daycare with downtown amenities.

The drive from Hockessin down DE-41 to Newark is one of the prettiest in the county. We picked our spot on West Main so it’s easy to make that drive part of your day.

For Hockessin families

Country-school feeling, downtown convenience.

Hockessin parents are spoiled for outdoor space - Auburn Valley, Yorklyn, the trails behind Sanford School. We’re a fit because we share that ethos without asking you to drive deep into Wilmington for a structured program.

Most Hockessin neighborhoods reach our front door at 292 W Main St, Newark in 15 – 22 minutes via DE-41 to DE-7, or down Limestone Rd. It’s a calm, scenic commute compared to anything in Wilmington proper.

Five age-specific rooms, 80-child capacity, infants to pre-K. The Brightwheel Experience Curriculum with weekly nature themes anchors the day, plus outdoor recess and morning walks past the Newark Country Club’s tree line.
