Each year, the Oak Park & River Forest Day Nursery provides its children with a quality preschool education accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) as well as hot, nutritious meals and day care in a safe, nurturing environment.  Established in 1912, The Day Nursery remains proud to serve families of diverse economic backgrounds, from very low income to high income families, offering a sliding fee scale to help offset the rising costs of preschool education. 

Because the Day Nursery believes no family should be turned away because of inability to pay, we offer additional affordability scholarships to low and very low income families who qualify.  Thank you for your tax-deductible donation to help fund the preschool education of a child and for helping these working families remain self-sufficient.
