UD Families

A Newark daycare built for the UD calendar.

We grew up in this town - we know what UD’s academic calendar looks like, what it’s like to commute from STAR Campus to Main Street, and how hard it is to find child care that matches the rhythm of a UD work week.

Discount

10% off weekly tuition for verified UD faculty and staff.

University of Delaware faculty and staff get a flat 10% discount on weekly tuition at Newark Nature School. The discount applies to all programs - infant, toddler, two-year-old, preschool, and pre-K - on full-time and part-time schedules.

We verify employment via your @udel.edu email or a current pay stub. That’s it - no separate application, no annual renewal. The discount is applied directly to the weekly invoice.

Why we built this

UD is the largest single employer in Newark, and many of its faculty and staff live within a few miles of the campus. We’re close enough that some families walk strollers in. The discount is our way of saying: we’re neighbors first, business second.
