Where Young Minds Grow, Explore, and Thrive

Welcome to Willa Road Children’s Center!

Willa Road Children’s Center is an independent, nonprofit childcare center founded in 2008.

We provide a safe, nurturing early care and education for children ages 6 weeks through 12 years of age in the heart of Newark, DE.

We are dedicated to fostering a caring, supportive community of learning at which your children will thrive and build strong foundations for lifelong success.

We value the inherent worth and dignity of each individual child, staff, and family member.

Our curricula reflect the diverse world we live in, with a broad array of books, toys, music, and activities. Our classroom is a safe, caring space where everyone belongs, no matter their background.
