Quality, Affordable Early Education Child Care Since 1903

Welcome

Jenkintown Day Nursery is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Jenkintown Day Nursery provides quality early education child care for children ages 2 to kindergarten. Jenkintown Day Nursery provides a truly enriching environment, allowing parents to work to support their families with the utmost confidence in their child’s care.

Jenkintown Day Nursery provides an outstanding start to a child's education in small and nurturing classes. Students develop a love for learning. Jenkintown Day Nursery's teachers promote independence, self-esteem, positive attitudes and readiness skills in their students, preparing them for success.

Because we care about both the needs of the child and the family, we welcome parents’ participation and invite them to participate in a variety of programs.

Over the years, parents who remember their own experiences at JDN have come back to entrust their children to be nurtured by our capable, loving teachers.

Filling a Need for a Diverse Population

JDN has a richly diverse population and is the oldest non-profit childcare center in Montgomery County, just outside Philadelphia.

Our fees are on a sliding scale based on family size and income. We provide a nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack for all the children every day.

JDN is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. The center was among the first in the state to achieve the top rating – STAR 4 – in Pennsylvania’s Keystone STARS program, which sets quality standards for early childhood education centers. We were an original participant in the state’s Pre-K Counts program, which supports high-quality early education. We have been named the “Best Non-Profit” by the Eastern Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce and have been selected “Best Daycare” in the Montgomery Newspapers Readers’ Choice Awards every year since 1999.
