PreK Class- Discovery Child Development Center

Discovery Child Development Center offers half-day morning, afternoon and a school-day pre-k class for children 4 and up with a 10:1 student to teacher ratio (i.e., 20 students, 2 teachers). Children in our pre-k classes work independently at centers such as math, writing, computer, discovery, and art. Students also participate in small-group reading, language arts, writing, math and early robotics lessons to move students forward at their skill level. During whole group time, children engage in storytelling, music, movement and Spanish lessons. Additionally, children work with their peers and teachers in project-based activities throughout the school year. Through this approach, not only do our pre-k students develop their literacy, oral language, writing, mathematical and social skills, but are engaged and motivated learners that learn to ask questions and seek answers. Our pre-k students are more than prepared to enter kindergarten by the end of the school year. To read more about our philosophy, please click here.

Beginning fall of 2017, we will have several pre-k options - morning half-day, morning half-day with lunch bunch, school day (9-3) and school day with after care until 5:00pm. Students can attend our pre-k class 3 or 5 days a week. 



Children need to be potty trained and 4 years old by August 31st to enroll in our pre-k classes.
