I have used this provider for more than 6 months

If I could give 0 stars at this facility, I would: I would caution any parent to enroll their child in this daycare, the owner Dahlia is completely unaware of the negligent behavior by the staff or tries to sweep life threatening instances under the rug. The communication by the staff is lacking, little to no training or education, very little supervision by administrators. This daycare is dangerous, I found a rubber band, bead, and cardboard in my 9 month olds stool after a day in their care. The very next day I picked her from daycare and found a quarter sized piece of plastic in her mouth. Please do not risk your child’s life here.

Our son loves preschool at discovery. The teachers and director are wonderful. We decided to send our son due to their many options for days and times. We are so glad we did! I would highly recommend.
