A small daycare with a big heart

Nevis Learning Corner LLC is family owned and operated. We opened in 2017 because local families needed quality childcare and early education. Here’s why parents choose us.

  • Safe, clean and friendly

    Your child’s safety comes first. Every child has a completed medical form on file before their first day.

  • Three meals a day

    Breakfast, lunch and a light supper, freshly prepared, plus snacks and fruit. You’re welcome to send food from home too.

  • Outside every day

    When the weather allows, we head out to the backyard for swings, slides, water play and the garden.

  • Learning through play

    We follow each child’s pace and interests and help them find their own individuality through exploration and play.

We don’t use a fixed, themed curriculum. Here, the children are the curriculum. We guide them and help them find their own individuality through exploration and play.

Our approach

We are child paced and child directed. Every child is treated with love, friendship and respect, and every day brings a variety of activities, creative learning and chances to grow.

Our program is varied on purpose. It supports each child’s educational, social, cultural, emotional and recreational development at the right level for their age.

Choosing someone to care for your child is one of the hardest decisions a parent makes. Our goal is simple: a happy child, in a home-away-from-home they love.

Something new every day

Our activities build intellectual, physical, social and emotional skills while getting children ready for what comes next.

  • Music

    All ages

    Singing, rhythm and movement every day. Music builds early language and reading skills.

  • Science

    Ages 2 to 4

    Hands-on discovery with water, plants and everyday things that sparks natural curiosity.

  • Arts & crafts

    All ages

    Paint, glue, crayons and clay, so every child grows up believing in their own creativity.

  • Pretend play

    All ages

    Dress-up and make-believe that grow vocabulary, focus, sharing and self-control.

  • Early tech

    Age 5

    Age-appropriate learning programs on the computer, always with a teacher beside them.

Story time and circle time

We gather on the sunshine rug to read, sing, talk about our day and practice letters and numbers. Babies have their own soft mats and activity toys, so the littlest ones can roll, crawl and pull up safely.

What parents say

I could never say enough positive things about the loving care Nevis Learning Corner gave my kids. They were equal parts creative, fun, academic and nurturing. Nevis gently mentored not only my son and daughter but my husband and me as parents. We still use the techniques we learned. My son was well prepared for kindergarten, socially and academically. Nevis Learning Corner is a gem.

Sarah W.Mom of two

What struck me most was that the staff had abundant hugs, kisses and patience with the children. My daughter clearly loves going to daycare every morning, and to me that is a key sign this was the right choice.

John M.Dad of two

My 20-month-old son loves going to Nevis Learning Corner. He has learned so much since I enrolled him. The staff are extremely affectionate and caring, with all kinds of activities from arts and crafts to outdoor play.

Jasna D.Mom

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for the great care you have shown my daughter. She loves being at Nevis Learning Corner, and that puts my mind at ease while I’m at work.
