Records, 1886-1979.

The collection describes the activities of the two day nurseries and the combined day care center in providing care for the children of black and white working class families. The bulk of the collection consists of records created by the combined day care center. The pre-merger records are predominantly of the St. Nicholas Day Nursery. Many of Jane D. Kent's early records were not retained by the combined day care center, hence the majority of the pre-1961 records reflect the activities of the St. Nicholas Day Nursery.
