Quality care for infants through preschool. Our son has been at Discoveryland for 3 months and we are LOVING it! The director and teachers provide caring individualized attention to each child. My toddler son feels very connected to this place. They provide a wonderful balance of loving kindness and educational enrichment. We had our son at a very well know childcare center before Discoveryland and it is clear that we made a very good decision in moving him to Discoveryland. Not only is it affordable, it truly has a very homey feeling, which makes our son feel safe and secure. It is a Christian program but the influence on the curriculum is minimal. They provide veggie meals and a covered play area. I love this place and more importantly my son does as well! I have 2 friends who also have their kids here, one whose daughter is 4 months old. The teachers in the infant room are FABULOUS! She could not be happier with the care her infant is receiving.  View Less View More

A little treasure -. I had never heard of Discoveryland before but called them because of their close proximity to my home. The school turned out to be a fabulous, caring, cozy and educational environment for my child. The school is unpretentious, flexible and affordable. Although it is a Christian school, the influence is very limited. The director, is wonderful, the teachers and helpers are equally wonderful, the meals are vegetarian, they work with potty-training and there is a covered play area outside for rainy days.

I love that this school feels like home. There is a good mix of structure, art, singing and learning amongst the free play time. Its really stressful trying to find a preschool and I visitied A LOT! Even after visiting Discoveryland I wasn't totally sure but now I feel lucky to have chosen it because my child has really benefitted from the experience and friends there.  View Less

Polly is an Angel~. When it comes to deciding on child care facilities I look for safety, love, creativity, and educational values. I found all of the above at Discoveryland, which is run by a wonderfully spirited woman, Polly Johnson. She was such a positive teacher that I feel the need to share with others. I recommend her highly.

My daughter has attended four other centers so I have some perspective on daycare. Some places can seem like corporate headquarters while others can be under-organized. I found perfect harmony at Discoveryland.

I honestly suggest this pre-school to any parent who wants their child to feel safe, while having fun, and exploring positive thinking and acceptance.

THANK YOU POLLY FOR BEING SUCH A CARING PERSON!  View Less
