Discovery Time Learning Center is great and the teachers are truly amazing! Our three kids (two graduates and one present) have been at DTLC for nearly nine consecutive years. My wife and I could not be happier with the school, the teachers and the management. But the teachers are what make the school special. Each teacher is so kind and caring toward our little ones. Our kids were/are excited to go to school every day. They not only get a great education, but their days are filled with fun, a wide variety of experiences and activities, lots of outside time, positivity and love. Many of the teachers -- Ms. Biancka, Ms. Edith, Ms. Kevonia, Ms. Shirleeta, Ms. Adrianne, Ms. Myesha, Ms. Kaiyah – are truly special caretakers. They have helped raise our three children, all of them since they were infants. Our two oldest, ages 7 and 9, still visit to say hi to their past teachers. The managers are also great. They are very responsive and are great with the kids. My wife and I can’t say enough good things about this school, the management and – especially – the amazing teachers!

We absolutely love Discovery Time! The teachers have shown our kids so much love since day one. We moved to DTLC after another local provider in the pandemic would not allow us to enter the facility. Discovery Time was a completely different experience- they set up time before start to meet the teachers, check in regularly, and provide updates across the day. The cameras eased so much of my anxiety with our first seeing how well our son was cared for and how much the teachers loved him. Round two for our baby girl has been the same awesome experience. We love all of our incredible teachers ♥️

We are so happy to be with DTLC! All of the staff treat each kid with love- it's amazing to me that the staff know all the kids names, whether they're in their rooms or not. We appreciate the camera access and regular updates and pics from the teachers about what the kids are doing each day. Our child thrives on the socialization, fun, and learning at DTLC. Ms. Edith has been such a gift- she knows the magic for successful potty training and runs such a fun and engaging classroom. Each day I ask my daughter how her day was and she tells me it was "wonderful!". The monthly Parents Night Outs are such a great idea and so appreciated by the parents- a night out while the kids have a "party" with their friends!

We absolutely love Discovery Time Learning Center! My son has been attending since 18 months (now 3 years old) and has grown TREMENDOUSLY! The staff is AMAZING. The curriculum and activities they complete with the kids are engaging and developmentally appropriate. Ms. Adriane, Ms. Edith, and Ms. Kevonia have been so supportive of my child's development. Even as he moves up to the next class, he always has the support of his former teachers. THANK YOU!

We love Discovery Time! This was our son’s first experience with daycare, so naturally we were nervous. We’re now 6 months in and I couldn’t be more pleased with choosing Discovery Time for him. He’s developed socially, physically and emotionally- and he truly loves going to school everyday. The toddler 2 teachers in our new class have been so welcoming and warm with open communication throughout the days. They also meet our son where he’s at which makes us feel like he’s getting individualized attention and truly cared for. Ms. Myesha, Ms. Daysha and Ms. Adrian in Toddler 1 are the best (and all the other amazing teachers as well)!
