Swimming at the Natatorium pool on the IUPUI campus, splashing on the playground and a field trip to the Ruth Lilly Health Education Center are just some of the fun activities the children at the Day Nursery Northwest Center have had a chance to enjoy so far this summer.
Four and five-year olds from the Day Nursery State and Federal Centers downtown took a short bus ride to the Day Nursery Ruth A. Lilly Center, 3522 N. Central Avenue, to take part in an educational program featuring a helicopter that was trucked in to their parking lot this morning. The helicopter will be visiting other Day Nursery locations later this month. Each child got a chance to dress in a flight suit, have their picture taken and sit in the cockpit. Here are some pictures from this morning.
Thanks to
all who came out for Day Nursery Family Night at The Children’s Museum. Also, thanks to Target for offering this free event to our community on the first Thursday of every month.

Seven students in Miss Alyssa Boardman’s kindergarten 
class at Day Nursery Northwest, 5735 W. 73rd Street are heading to first grade in the fall. To celebrate, they decorated their classroom in a balloon theme last week and planned a special program for their parents to see. They sang “Love in Any Language,” recited a poem and told everyone what they want to be when they grow up.
