A Little About Discovery's Program
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 to 12 years of age.

Infants 0-24 months:
All children are considered an infant until the age of 2. Discovery's facility consists of two separate buildings. The smaller of the buildings was built specifically to accommodate our infants and enables us to tend to their needs in an age appropriate manner.
Once the child turns 2 years of age, they move over to the "barn" building. However, an overnight change to a child's environment can be stressful for them 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, two teachers will take the 8 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 teachers and familiar friends. |

2-Year Old Program:
On the child's 2nd birthday, they will move on to the 2-year old program. We begin to introduce toilet training to all of our children upon entering this group. Our goal is to assist you during the potty training process of your child, in hopes that they are fully potty trained by the age of 3 and no later than 3 1/2 to ensure availability within our program. All children will move on to our Preschool program once they are 3 years old and fully potty trained.

Preschool:
In order for a child to move on to our Preschool program, they must be 3 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:

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