Programs by Age
Infants
A warm and fuzzy place where it's all about your baby! This is where you form your first bond with New Day. We are committed to providing you with a safe and nurturing environment. It's all about floor time. The children in these rooms are between the ages of 8 weeks and 18 months of age. There are two full time caregivers in the room and an aide who adds an extra set of hands for one hour each day at lunch time. We consider ourselves to be breastfeeding friendly and encourage parents to visit the room and visit with your baby any time. We are full most of the time but we strongly encourage parent's to click the following link to register your child on our waitlist. There is no cost to be on our waiting list.

Toddlers
We have 2 toddler rooms at New Day. The Terrific Twos! There are two teachers in the toddler room and there can be up to 10 children in each class. Each class has a daily schedule that includes table activities, (puzzles, play dough,) sensory play, stories, songs and an opportunity to do a creative art activity. Outdoor play is part of our program and it is built into the children's daily schedule.

Threes
The three year olds have busy days with lots of fun things to do. They love to make things and bake things and listen to stories. It's great fun to learn the Days of the Week song and shake your sillies out! The children enjoy outside play and Wednesday mornings at the Farmers Market in the summer and fall. There are 2 teachers in each of the three year old rooms and they can have up to 14 children when we are full.

Applications can be obtained through the WCSD website. Morning and afternoon options are available. For more information about the program you are welcome to call New Day.

Fours
Four year olds are getting ready to take the big step off to Kindergarten! With 2 staff in the room during UPK time, the teachers work hard to help the children become independent and ready to learn. They are busy gaining new skills and learning how to cooperate and negotiate with each other in a group setting. They love dramatic play, art, circle time, the writing table and the big blocks! Children who are enrolled in the full day program have the opportunity to participate in swim lessons at the YMCA, walk to the Flower Memorial Library, and visit the Farmer's Market on Wednesdays. Learning takes place with lots of hands on activities throughout the day. Our program provides children with a preschool program that will help to prepare them for Kindergarten and allow parents to meet work and school obligations without having to transfer their child halfway through the day.

School Age
During summer vacation for 8-9 weeks, we offer parents a program for school age children from five to ten years of age. If the demand is high we lease space from IHC Primary, directly across the street from the Center, where we can accommodate 54 children in our full day program. Currently, we have been able to accommodate the school age children in our Franklin Street location.
We are proud to admit that many of our School-Age children attended New Day when they were little or have a younger sibling enrolled in our day care center. Parents pack a bag lunch everyday and we provide breakfast and afternoon snack. School vacations are about having fun. The kids enjoy crafts, board games and hanging out with friends. We plan ahead to make sure that they have a schedule full of activities outside of the Center (such as bowling, swimming, walks to Thompson Park, and field trips to area attractions), as well as outdoor play every day and time in the gymnasium.
