At The Discovery Center, we emphasize a comprehensive curriculum to nurture development. We cover a wide range of areas, including dramatic play, creative arts, music, science, mathematics, literature, self-reliance, cultural awareness, communication skills, creative movement, social and emotional skills, and outdoor activities. Within this structure, we diligently strive to provide each child with the optimal balance of attention, support, intellectual stimulation, independence, and opportunities to choose activities. Our goal is to give every child the best possible foundation for growth and learning.

Teachers spend time every day interacting with while also observing the children in their classrooms. This natural format allows children to explore the curriculum freely, while allowing all aspects of the child’s play to be observed thoughtfully.

The Discovery Center offers full day and half day preschool programs. Classes are of mixed genders and ages, and range from 2 years and 9 months through 5 years. The multi-age combination provides opportunities for children to learn and grow with one another by creating a leader and learner environment. Early childhood research suggests that children are wonderful role models for one another in the development of language, cognitive, and social skills. Multi-age classrooms also create an atmosphere similar to that experienced in family and community life.
