About the Provider

Description: Welcome to Early Discoveries Center! Our job is an exciting one. The world of children is delightful and we are fortunate to be able to share it with them and you. At Early Discoveries Center we believe if we provide a safe, nurturing and loving environment, children will flourish. We believe that play is the work of children and through creative self expression children will become successful life long learners. Research shows that a child's intellectual capacity is shaped during the first years of life and more learning occurs during a child's first five years of development than during any other period. This is why we take our role very seriously. At Early Discoveries Center our goal is not only to be your family's reliable and trusted child care provider, but to join you as your child's first teachers guiding them to discover the world around them. At Early Discoveries Center, children aged two months through five years enjoy a balance of social, emotional, physical, and intellectual activities within their own age group and developmentally appropriate environment. Classrooms are spacious and cheery and each Early Discoveries Center is well equipped with spacious outdoor play areas and indoor gyms including climbing and play equipment.
