Everything we do at Day Early Learning is aimed at nurturing each child’s social, emotional and educational needs. Our ultimate goal is not only to prepare your child for kindergarten, but also to inspire a lifelong learning journey. Well-educated and trained teachers ensure that your child will be in the best hands possible.

Our West Lafayette centers have been with Day Early Leaning for a couple of months now and I have quickly learned my favorite thing is how much they value their employees and always put the children first!
What other interesting facts do you want us to know about you?
I moved from Anchorage, Alaska this past March. After having my third baby girl in May, I knew I was ready to jump back into teaching tiny humans! The staff and school leader at Patty Jischke are amazing! Never have I worked with such a great company like DEL where I feel appreciated each and every day! I love incorporating my home language (Spanish) into the daily schedule with my classroom kids! Hearing my 1-2-year-olds saying “Buenos días” absolutely makes my day!
