Discovery Daycare & Preschool has been a family run child care center since 1985. We are currently licensed to provide care for 170 children from infancy through 12 years of age.
All children are considered an infant until the age of two. Our infant building was built specifically to accommodate our infants, and enables us to tend to their needs in an age appropriate manner.
Once a child turns two, they will move over to the "barn" building. However, an overnight change to a child's environment can be stressful to say the least. So, in an effort to ease the transition, we gradually begin to introduce them to the barn beginning around 18 months or so. Each day, a teacher will take 4 of the oldest 1-year olds to their classroom in the barn. This gives the children a chance to acclimate to their future environment, while still having the security of their teacher and familiar friends.

On a child's 2nd birthday, they will move on to the 2-year-old Program. We begin to introduce toilet training to all of the children upon entering this group. Our goal is to assist you during the potty training process, with the objective being to have all of the children fully potty trained by the age of three. Once a child is three years old and fully potty trained, they will then move on to our Preschool Program.

In order for a child to move on to our Preschool Program, they must be three years of age and fully potty trained. We have Preschool every morning from 8:30-11:30. We are dedicated to creating a learning environment in which the children will excel not only academically, but socially as well. Our key curriculum areas include:
- Language
- Penmanship
- Math
- Science
- Geography
- Human health
- Art
- Music
- Dramatic play
- Movement
- Cooking
- Block play

During the summer months, we offer a school age program for those children entering first grade through the age of 12. This program includes various on and off site activities.
