ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
Located in the heart of Downtown Eugene inside the Downtown Athletic Club, Newberry Child Care offers the ideal environment for a quality preschool program. Incorporated into your child’s day are fun activities and programs that utilize several areas of the Club. Newberry Child Care, LLC, is a state-certified preschool.

Curriculum
We believe that preschool-age children learn largely through play. Daily, our preschoolers experience hands-on activities, are encouraged to develop self-help skills, make choices and decisions, solve problems, ask questions, explore and be creative! The positive Newberry Child Care experience gives children the opportunity to build self-esteem. Newberry Child Care’s preschool program is a child-centered environment that embraces the concept of the whole child. Our activities stimulate your child’s intellectual and physical development and foster social and emotional growth. We encourage children to think, reason, question and experiment. Preschoolers are exposed to sound health, safety and nutritional practices and develop an awareness of and involvement in the community.

Separate preschool classes
Every child grows and develops at a different rate. To accommodate this, Newberry Child Care has two separate preschool classes: Preschool for ages 2 1/2 - 4 and Pre-K for ages 4 to 6. Each class will stimulate your child’s intellectual, social and emotional development.

Schedule
Newberry Child Care offers full-time and part-time care. The preschool program is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. If your childcare needs extend beyond this time, please let us know. We will work to accommodate you whenever possible. We are a peanut-free school. Please do not send items in your child's lunch with peanuts, peanut butter or any other item with peanut products in them.

Staffing
The Newberry Child Care staff has been carefully screened to find just the right teachers for your children. Our head teachers have hands-on experience working with preschool-age children and choose to work in the childcare field simply for their love of children. In addition, our teachers also have current certifications in First Aid and CPR and continually further their knowledge with classes and seminars.
