Quality, Affordable Early Education Child Care Since 1903

Welcome

Jenkintown Day Nursery provides a safe, enriching environment for children ages 2 to 5. Our children receive an outstanding start to their education in small, nurturing classes, which combine learning and play. JDN's teachers promote independence, self-esteem, positive attitudes and readiness skills, preparing children for success.

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

Over the years, parents who remember their own experiences at JDN have returned, entrusting 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.

Fees are on a sliding scale based on family size and income. We provide a nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack for our 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.
