My daughter started here last year and it was a difficult transition for her. She now loves going to school with all her friends and seeing the teachers who have become a second family. The staff are incredibly kind, patient and communicative with us throughout.
Each day they give us a run down of her day, send pics occasionally, and have even started to potty train her.
They are amazing and I am so glad we found them.
I have a school age child and an infant at Discovery. My favorite part of this daycare is the staff. My experience has been that they will truly go out of their way to help their daycare families and make themselves available to address/discuss concerns as needed to alleviate the anxiety of worry wart parents like me!
Chase has been thru 4 daycares...and we are very comfortable with this one...he has been there 1 + years..he has learned to speak very well...he is almost potty trained...he can count to twenty...he knows his colors..he is very intelligent for his age of 3...i would recommend this daycare to anyone who wants great care for your child..i think Mrs. Chastity is a great owner...and I think all the teachers are great....it is more like a family setting...it is an outstanding place to go.....cudos to all the employees there...thank you and much love from Dirk and Tina and chase...
I love discovery and everyone there. I couldn't ask for better child care for my 3 year old son. They are wonderful!!!
