I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This facility is not clean, the staff would rather be on cellphones than watch the children. My children were hungry every time I picked them up. My daughter screams when I pull in, says she does not feel safe

My little one loves this place.  They have really helped her come out of her shell.  She is busy all day long.  This was our 3rd daycare in a year- and by far the best.  We were on a waiting list for several months- we are glad we were eventually able to get her in.  You can tell the employees love children.  The employees are more professional and they seem to have less turn over than some of the other daycares we have tried.  Best of all- my little one enjoys going to daycare!

About the Provider

At Discovery Kingdom we believe in providing a safe, healthy and educational environment. We offer developmentally appropriate activities for each age group that PROMOTES emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development. Sign language is taught starting in the baby room as an effective means of communication. We want the children to think critically and solve problems creatively. We encourage all children to succeed through providing experiences that challenge growth within each child’s reach. We believe that the outcome of activities is not important. It’s the process, not the product that encourages natural development. There will be positive modeling that will guide the children into active listening and negotiation. We strive to provide children with tools that will continually reinforce positive self esteem. Skills learned at Discovery Kingdom will be something that will last a life time!
