It’s an amazing preschool with wonderful, kind and patient teachers. They have helped my child grow and learn so much socially and academically. She was very shy and never been around new people and bigger groups of kids but Ms Nickie and every staff member made her feel comfortable and welcome. As well as, helped teach her to voice her needs and stand up for her self if needed. The price was very reasonable compared to other places we had looked and I appreciate the fact that they helped with potty training if needed. We got her potty trained right before preschool started and it took the stress out of it because if she didn’t master it before starting school it wasn’t a deal breaker. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a fun safe place for their little ones to grow.

Hi M W, thank you for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It means so much to hear how supported your kiddo felt, especially during those early, sometimes uncertain moments. We’re so proud of the confidence she’s built; learning to express her needs and step into new environments is such a meaningful milestone.
We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Ms. Nickie and our team. They truly care about creating a welcoming, supportive space for every child and family.
We’re grateful to have been part of your journey. Thank you for trusting Newberry.

When we moved to Eugene Oregon all the way from the other end of the country, we toured multiple preschools before picking Newberry. Right off the bat, Ms. Nickie and Ms. Jennie made our child feel safe and welcome. Our toddler who had never been to day care before fondly went to school everyday and even gave up her binky the very first day (big win for us). Similarly, few months in the teachers took the initiative to potty train our child as well and she has been doing great so far. The facility is so clean, well thought our and nurturing to young minds. They have various activities for the kiddos to learn through practice and play and we enjoy seeing them thrive here at Newberry. All the teachers are warm and caring and we love that we found this place. Thank you Newberry Child Care!

My daughter has been attending Newberry for over a year, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The teachers are incredibly responsive and caring—it’s clear they truly know and love the kids in their care. Nickie, the Director, is wonderful and very involved. She often greets the children at drop-off, and they run up to her for hugs—it’s such a warm, welcoming environment.
The curriculum is solid and thoughtfully implemented. I love seeing the work my daughter brings home each day—it’s a great way to stay connected to what she’s learning. They even take walks to the library, which has been such a fun and enriching part of her experience.
Thanks to Newberry, my daughter has grown so much and is more than ready for kindergarten. I’m so grateful we found this preschool!

My daughter started in August 2023 and we both love Newberry. We moved a lot before settling in Eugene and the uncertainty contributed to a speech delay as well as some behavioral issues. Within a few months my daughter was making massive improvements with speech and behavior! Now she is a regular chatter box that is comfortable and social with her peers and the staff!
As a parent it’s hard to send your kid to others because you have to work but it’s not at Newberry. Before enrolling at Newberry we toured just about every daycare in Eugene and Springfield. Newberry hands down surpassed any other daycare. The facility bright, organized and the cleanest (it does not have that “daycare” smell that the others have) with the most attentive and caring staff. My soul is at ease knowing my daughter is safe with people I can trust to take care of her. If you are looking for a daycare I highly recommend you tour Newberry with your child so you can see for yourself how wonderful the people and this place truly are.

We cannot speak highly enough of our exceptional experience at Newberry Child Care! From the moment we walked through their doors, we were greeted with a warm, nurturing environment that made us feel right at home. Ms. Nikki, Ms. Jenny, and the entire staff genuinely love what they do, and it shows in their unwavering dedication and attentiveness to every child.
Both our son and daughter have thrived under their care, thanks to the engaging educational programs and age-appropriate activities that foster their cognitive, social, and emotional development. We appreciate their open communication and willingness to collaborate with parents, making us feel like active participants in our children's growth journey.
If you are seeking an exceptional childcare facility that will nurture your little ones with love, guidance, and enriching experiences, look no further than Newberry. Highly recommended!

My daughter loves going to daycare here! The staff is wonderful, hardworking and attentive. My daughter started with a speech delay and just a few months in she is thriving. Picking a daycare is stressful because you want to make sure your kid is spending their days in a safe and loving environment that will help them grow… well newberry is that place!
