Q: Is your staff trained in First Aid and C.P.R.?
A: Yes! All Teachers and their assistants are required to have infant and child C.P.R. and first aid updated as needed to stay current (this exceeds licensing guidelines.)

A: We are licensed for 121 children. The children are in classrooms with other children of their own age group.

Q: How are you different than just taking my child to a babysitter or nanny?

Q: Why should I have my child attend your Kindergarten program instead of public school?
A: Our Kindergarten is a whole day program with a much smaller ratio than public school (more individual attention for each child.) We are in session 31 more days than the public schools (more learning time.) Also, extended day and school days off are included in the tuition – no busing required! We additionally provide nutritious lunches and snacks at no extra charge!

Q: Why is it important to invest in a quality early childhood program for your child?
A: Statistics show that a good early childhood education sets the foundation for academic success in the elementary years. Children’s Discovery is a wonderful investment in your child’s future!
