My children currently attend Discovery Zone and as a parent I can't say enough about Discovery Zone.  The teachers are attentive and caring for the children.  The directors are wonderful and supportive.  I have a hard time getting my children to leave Discovery Zone each night.  Discovery Zone is the best!!!
