Description:
Discovery Learning Center prides itself on providing clean, safe, and inviting classrooms. We offer multiple classrooms that are divided by age where children will play with other children the same age, play with age-appropriate toys, and be exposed to an age-appropriate curriculum. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff will care for, love, and nurture each child in a home-like setting while also providing a quality early childhood education. Each day, every parent will receive a written report detailing their child's day in class including how they ate and slept. Each week, parents will receive an overview of the teacher's lesson plans so they know what their child is learning in class. Parents will also receive three progress reports a year on their child's overall development.
Permanently Closed
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
