The NDNU Early Learning Center is located on the Notre Dame de Namur University campus, across from the elementary school. It uses Montessori methods, and its curriculum promotes learning while having fun. The back of the center opens up to a secure area with lots of room to play in the grass or the jungle gym. Hours vary depending on time of year so it's best to call for an appointment. This area of NDNU is closed to visitors before 4pm, to protect the children.
