Day Nursery Northwest Center children help create TV commercial

It is back to school time and Day Nursery is currently enrolling for preschool age children (3-6 years) at all of our centers.   To promote Day Nursery to the general community, I worked with  Marsha Lindsey, our Chief Operating Officer and Marla Segal, director at our Day Nursery Northwest Center near 73rd and Zionsville Road and some very adorable children to create a television commercial which was produced and will air on RTV6.  Look for the commercial soon.

Day Nursery students enjoy Dramatic Play area

The two-year olds in the Day Nursery Ruth A. Lilly Center, 3522 N. Central, love dressing up. All classrooms are set up with hands-on learning centers.  These children are playing the Dramatic Play/Housekeeping area. To get the most out of dramatic play, children need a variety of materials, equipment, and props to encourage creative expression and imagination.

While you are doing your spring cleaning, keep Day Nursery in mind. We always welcome gently used donations of both men and women’s clothes and shoes as well as items that can be incorporated into prop boxes.  Here’s an example of items you may have around the house that would be perfect for a restaurant-themed prop box:  old take out menus, tablecloth or placemats, dishes, apron, vase and flowers, chef hat, order-taking pads, plastic plates.

You can drop off your donations Monday-Friday at any of our 7 Day Nursery locations listed to the right of this column or call me at 636-9197 ext. 227 if you have any questions about your donation.
