I absolutely love Discovery. It feels truly amazing to be able to go to work knowing that my son is in good hands. The teachers are phenomenal, loving, and very respectful. My son has built a relationship with all his teachers and tells them all that he loves them at the end of the day. Not only are they his teachers but they have become like family. This place is a hidden gem and I highly recommend this facility for your precious child.My so has learned so much since has been there.

The staff at Discovery are exceptional, loving, and caring people. I have never had a daycare that went above and beyond the way these ladies do for their children. They make you feel at home, and care free when my son is with them. I HIGHLY recommend Discovery to anyone looking for care for their children. Good job ladies!!!
