Some of the staff have been there since it opened. For child care, it's a very important feature to have a well-established staff that doesn't turn over constantly. As a parent, this was one thing that concerned me. Young children make attachments to the teacher, and it's really hard for them if they start out with one teacher and that person leaves. Our teachers are loyal, dedicated and really enjoy what they are doing.
Diversity also is important to the nursery.
We try to attract families of diverse incomes, ethnic backgrounds and students with disabilities. Child care is a very important yet underrated service in this country, and I think the Newark Day Nursery does an excellent job of providing it.
