Preschool Class- Discovery Child Development Center

Discovery Child Development Center offers two half-day morning classes for children 3 and up with an 8:1 student to teacher ratio (i.e., 16 students, 2 teachers). Children in the preschool classes work independently at centers such as writing, math, discovery, and art. Preschool students also participate in small-group language arts, reading, math and writing lessons to meet individual educational needs. 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 preschoolers develop their literacy, oral language, writing, math and social skills, but are engaged and motivated learners that learn to ask questions and seek answers.

Our preschool class options include - morning half-day, half-day with lunch bunch, school day (9-3) and school day with after care until 5:00pm. Parents can enroll their child 2 days a week (T and Th), 3 days a week (M, W, and F), or 5 days a week (M-F). 


Children need to be potty trained and 3 years old by August 31st to enroll in our preschool classes.
