Let's learn!

The objective of the Haverhill Day Nursery Association is to provide and maintain a building which shall be used for the care of the children of working parents and for such charitable and educational work as may be decided upon by the Board of Directors. 

Haverhill Day Nursery Association, d.b.a., Haverhill Daycare, admits age appropriate children in its program without regard to race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, national origin, sex, disability, marital status or sexual preference.

Haverhill Daycare has the philosophy that Early Childhood should be a time of exploration and discovery.  The staff is committed to providing a safe avenue for children to expand horizons.  Following the Massachusetts Preschool Guidelines/Core curriculum and Blue Print for Early Learning, activities and experiences are offered that build self-esteem, stimulate language development, foster and enrich creativity, enhance small and large muscle development, social studies, math, science and engineering, socialization skills and a time for quiet and active play.  The staff encourages each child to participate in all activities while providing for his/her individual needs.  The center strives to teach basic human values such as respect for themselves and others, trust, honesty, compassion and a sense of responsibility for themselves, their environment and the world around them. Haverhill Daycare believes in limiting the amount of screen-time children receive as it is our philosophy that a hands-on, interactive, explorative experience helps to build strong communication and social-emotional skills. 

Haverhill Daycare strives to support and nurture parents in their child rearing efforts and recognizes the diverse cultures and customs of our families.

• ".......Missy, thank you so much for everything you and the teachers at HDC have done for these two. You ladies have helped mold them into the people they are today and I know there have been challenges along the way. I will sincerely miss HDC being a part of our life. (I’m not crying, you’re crying!)For anyone looking for daycare or a before and after school program in the Haverhill area, I highly recommend Haverhill Daycare Center! We toured several places back in the day and when going into HDC for the first time, it felt like an extended home. They say “it takes a village….” You want these people in your village.
• "We didn’t get up in time for him to actually “go” to Haverhill Daycare Center today, but I had to get a picture. C has had HDC in his life since he was under three years old. If you’re looking for a great place for your kids to learn and grow, with VERY understanding teachers who have heard everything… and accept both your and your child’s imperfections…. This is the spot. This isn’t just a school, they are family.
• ~"HDC is a home away from home"
• ~"The staff is genuinely caring and really helped my daughter adjust to a preschool setting and helped ease my own stress.
• "Our experience at Haverhill Daycare was nothing but superb.   My two  daughters were there for two years and they loved it. The teachers are  wonderful so are the ladies in the office. Everyone there is so  understanding and the teachers communicate very well with you.  Small  classroom sizes and extended hours are a bonus.  Now it's off to first  grade for us in the fall!  Thank you so much for everything Haverhill  Daycare!"
• "My daughter has been  attending HDC since she was 4 years old.  She is now almost 7!  I have  always had a great experience with this center and have never had any  complaints towards the staff.  My daughter enjoys going and has learned  so much.  She attended the kindergarten class which prepared her in a  tremendous way for 1st grade making her the top reader in her class!   HDC has been around for many years that not only is my daughter still  attending but I had my first daughter attend and she's now almost 20 years old!"
• "My daughter has  been attending HDC for four years now and the experience of the staff  and the overall care they have given her has been remarkable.  I have  always felt that when I drop her off its like leaving her with family  and that is very comforting to know that she is in good hands.  She has  always enjoyed and looks forward to going to HDC, as a matter of fact, I  can never get her to leave."
• "I  truly cherish the nurturing care provided by all the Haverhill Daycare  Teachers.  My son feels happy and safe while exploring the playground  after school each afternoon.  As a working mother having the Haverhill  Daycare as a part of my sons afternoon routine bring peace of mind  knowing that he is in such caring hands."
• "I just wanted to tell you how happy we/he has been these past couple of days! I'm so glad we found you. :) 
• "We definitely plan on enrolling the new one as soon as she turns the right age! No rush but we love HDC!" 
• "This  is one of the best centers I have seen in my 26 years in the business. The activities are terrific and the children were all so engaged.  The  teachers were all smiling and appeared to truly love their jobs" 
•  "HDC was recommended to me by a co-worker who had her child there.  She assured me I would be very happy.  I took a  tour of the facility and felt welcomed and it felt like a happy and  nurturing place.  My son has been there for 2 years and we couldn't be  happier.  He has made great friends and the staff has been very patient  and loving towards him.  He often talks about his teachers even when he  is away from school.  I love the projects they do to engage the children  and their families.  I'm sad my son will be entering Kindergarten and  no longer will be going to HDC.  I will be leaving a very satisfied  customer and happy that my son received everything he needed to prepare  for school."
• "Choosing HDC was the best decision my husband  and I ever made. The staff is very kind, attentive and patient. Izzy  requires a little extra TLC at drop off, which I know is kind of hectic for everyone. Every day the teachers make sure, when I leave, Izzy is calm and reassured. Which allows me to leave and feel at ease. Isobel has made new friends and absolutely loves the staff."
• "My son was extremely shy and had a difficult  time adjusting to being away from home and being with so many new  people. The HDC Staff took great care to make sure he was comfortable  and secure. He went into full day kindergarten this year and had no  trouble adjusting. I thank HDC for that."
• " What a great place for our children!  We've  been very happy with our son attending HDC, and he truly enjoys going each and every day.  Even on weekends when we drive by he says 'there's  my school'!  The staff, parents, children, everyone is great to one  another.  The staff go out of their way to hold after hours events for  everyone, truly going above and beyond.  I would highly recommend HDC!" 
• " We love HDC! The positive changes in your  child will amaze you. The staff at HDC are great at keeping the kids  structured in a very creative environment, allowing them to bloom and  keep their imaginations fresh!  Short day field trips, cook outs, and  annual HDC parties included!  You rock!"       
• "I enrolled my son at HDC about a year and a  half ago and it is the best decision I could have made for his early  educational development. I can not say enough good things about the  teachers and the school in general. He is so happy there and is always  learning something new. Also, the staff does wonderful events throughout  the year incorporating the parents which really makes me feel like this  is one big extended family"  
• "I have nothing but wonderful things to say  about HDC.  My son started there over a year ago and I've seen nothing  but positive changes within him.  He was at home daycare with my mother  and he was too out of control there and once he got to HDC and had a  structured day, he has flourished.  He loves all the lovely women who  work there and they are so good with him and understanding him.  Thank  heaven for HDC.  I can go to work and know my son is learning and being taken care of by the best."
