Since 2010
Serving Cary & Morrisville families.
We started Discovery because we wanted our child to have the best possible preschool experience, and we still live right here in Cary. We’ve been family-run since day one, and many of our teachers chose Discovery first for their own kids.

At Discovery, children learn best when they are engaged, supported, and inspired. Our approach is built on four core pillars:
Children make sense of their world through play. We design hands-on experiences that nurture curiosity, creativity, and joy.
Inquiry-driven projects build collaboration, problem-solving, and communication skills that last a lifetime.
We blend exploration with structure so every child builds the academic foundations and confidence for a successful transition.
Social-emotional growth and cognitive learning go hand-in-hand. We foster empathy, resilience, and independence in a caring community.
From our youngest learners to kindergarten readiness, Discovery offers programs designed to nurture growth at every stage.
