Day Nursery operates seven state-licensed child care centers in central Indiana. Annually, over 1,000 children of working and student parents receive high quality care in Day Nursery centers.

• PROFESSIONAL STAFF: Day Nursery's full-time teachers have a college degree or the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. In-service education maintains quality programs. Day Nursery also supports its teaching staff by offering tuition assistance for early childhood courses.
• CURRICULUM: The program's major focus is the development of the individual child. Along with cognitive growth, attention is paid to the child's social, emotional and physical growth, with opportunities for each child to explore and learn.
• HEALTH PROGRAM: Pediatric nurse practitioners, supervised by a pediatrician, provide children with immunizations, sickle-cell anemia testing, TB skin tests and physical examinations. Day Nursery's Auxiliary volunteers conduct vision screening for the children. Other health services include speech, hearing and dental screening.
• FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Day Nursery provides low-to-moderate income parents the advantage of quality child care at an affordable price. With financial support from government assistance, United Way, Day Nursery Foundation and Auxiliary contributions, grants and individual donors, Day Nursery provides tuition subsidies to income-eligible parents.
• PARENTS: Day Nursery conducts parent/teacher conferences, encourages parental visits and participation, and provides information on parenting skills and financial resources available to help them fulfill both their financial and parental responsibilities.
