Northfield Day Care Center

Northfield Daycare Center, established in 1969 by Claire Erickson and others, originally served as a Head Start Center and evolved into a daycare to meet the growing need for full-day childcare as more women returned to the workforce. With a philosophy centered on the belief that children learn best through play, the center is licensed for 20 children aged 2 to 6 years and employs a team of four full-time lead teachers, supplemented by students from Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges through work-study programs.

The program at Northfield Daycare Center features a variety of enriching activities, including art, music, story time, and motor skill development, fostering an environment that promotes dramatic play, safety, and fun. The center aims to nurture self-awareness, self-love, and self-reliance in children, helping to build their confidence and prepare them for future learning experiences.
