Our Purpose
Discovery Child Development, promotes the growth of student intellectual , social and emotional development in a supportive and safe learning environment. Our project-based curriculum provides the foundation for lifelong learning and productive citizenship. We utilize evidence-based practices to create enthusiastic and motivated learners and work collaboratively with parents to nurture the whole child. Together we work to build children's positive sense of self, enthusiasm for learning and respect for others and their community.
