Description: We will provide a healthy and safe environment in which your child can learn, play, and grow all the while having fun. As we strongly believe in a low teacher-to-student ratio our experienced and caring staff of early childhood development specialists will see to your child’s daily needs with ease.  We are always encouraging our children to expand and develop a greater sense of self awareness, self expression, and self esteem through play and group activities. Your child’s intellectual and physical abilities will be challenged as well as their imaginations through adventure and exploration.   At Children's Center for Discovery your child does not just become a student they become part of a family.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Actually should receive several negative stars. First off the center has been confirmed by the health and licensing board to have extremely high levels of lead in the water system inside daycare.
Extremely high turn over rate of employees which means you never know exactly who is watching your kids.
Several previous employees have stated the director of this location will physically punish your children. Multiple code violations this year and numerous ones in the several years I have allowed my kids to go here. Currently shopping for new child care as this place is unsafe and very unprofessional.
