Discovery Children's Center

What an amazing center! The staff are deeply dedicated to the children and adhere to a philosophy of child care that allow the kids to grow and learn through play and discovery. You'll find no better place for your kids for infant through pre-k. The personal and social skills they'll learn will give them a great boost for Kindergarten--and in life in general! And, once again, the staff here are truly dedicated people. They are genuine and loving educators. Your kids will be in great hands.

This is our home away from home! I cannot say enough about the staff and teachers; I'm confident they truly know and love both of my children. But it's worth mentioning I love the building and classrooms, too, it's one of the first things I noticed when we toured 3 years ago. It was just so different from other places. The rooms are homey and have interesting built-in structures with tons of places to explore. From a curriculum perspective there is a huge emphasis on learning through play with all the age groups, even in the infant room. A friend of mine suggested this center as it was where she sent her kids years ago. Her children are now in college, but there are teachers still there that remember them!

My three children attend(ed) DCC from a very young age and stayed enrolled right up until Kindergarten. Thanks to the teachers that loved and taught them using a constructivist philosophy, and growing up in an environment that encouraged and challenged them, they were beyond ready for elementary school both socially and academically. The staff and philosophy have been a pivotal role in helping raise my children into kind, capable humans and we will forever be grateful for the foundation they had here. They are who they are today because of DCC. I have also had the privilege to be a teacher at DCC for over a decade, therefore giving me a unique perspective as both a parent and staff member. I can tell you that Discovery really is a family...from the teachers to the Directors to the parent-run board and the families that enroll. As both a parent and staff member, I always feel listened to, supported, and confident that my and all the children are loved and cared for. The directors have a long history with this place and are a wealth of knowledge and understanding about children and running a center. The board is all parents, and are so invested and supportive of staff and families. Communication is very important to everyone, as well as health and safety. These things make all the difference in making this not just a childcare center, but a home for all. I'm very fortunate to watch my children and so many others grow and learn each day in such a unique, enriching environment!

DCC is such a wonderful place! Long term teachers (some have been there over 20 years) who truly engage with the kids, dedicated staff, and child-led exploratory learning. We couldn't be happier.

Comforting, inviting,nurturing community for every one to play,learn,and grow together!
