Letter from our Executive Director, Steven Koll


As Executive Director of North Avenue Day Nursery, I welcome you to North Avenue Day Nursery. Our center has provided early education and care services to the community for 100 years. As our mission continues, we commit ourselves to creating the best possible early childhood environment for all children. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredits our programs, recognizing our center as one of the best providers of high quality early childhood development services in the nation.
Presently, our center-based Preschool and School Age Programs serve children three through ten years of age, while our Family Child Care Homes Program cares for children birth to three years. I encourage you to visit North Avenue Day Nursery to learn more about the wonderful early childhood programs that our agency provides for children and their families. It would also be an excellent opportunity for you to meet the dedicated staff that work with our children. I look forward to meeting you to discuss your child's future.
