Discovery Zone Learning Center- Marlborough
Quick Facts
Reviews
Very poorly run daycare. Started off ok, then progressively got worse. Staff turnover is weekly. Probably due to the way they are treated.
Owner and director are rude and dismissive of concerns. Wouldn't ever recommend.
Discovery Zone has become part of our family. We trust the staff so much to leave our children daily and help us to make decisions with their milestones. The management is so accommodating and again the staff amazing. We wouldn't be anywhere else.
We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! We have a toddler and preschooler in this center and we couldn t be happier. Both girls love it and they have excelled so much since they have been going to Discovery Zone both socially and developmentally. They learn everyday through play and activity. It is so fun seeing all of the crafts they create each day at their day camp . There is a normal routine they follow and they also have frequent special visitors such as magicians, librarians, music teachers and the list could go on and on.
The staff is amazing too. They are knowledgeable, professional and most of all so LOVING to my girls. When we were vacationing in Disney World my three year old even told us that she missed her teacher Miss Sarah and her friends at school. The director of the center Amanda is always there if you need her and we love her too.
My husband and I have been told by numerous individuals that the curriculum in elementary school is so much more advanced then it was when we were children. They need to know a lot more going into kindergarten then we needed to know. We wanted our children to be ready. We take comfort in knowing that come kindergarten, our girls will be more then ready to jump into a school environment and best of all, they have had fun during their whole experience!
Anyways, this was the best decision that we made for our children. Being new to the area it has also been a great way to meet new people and have our girls meet friends their age. We can not say enough about this place. LOVE IT HERE!
Love the center. Great teaching staff. Wonderful director. My children learned so much at Discovery Zone. My children enjoyed attending each day.
